  • Duke is #2 in the Country?!!!
Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

In my opinion our starting five is way better than theirs!

Our starting five would have a tough time beating UNC at UNC!

it's easy to succeed in the ACC when you never have to play defense.

Paulus is having a ridiculous night from the arc. I hate these guys almost as much as I hate Kentucky.

Your top 2 may be better, but after that, its Duke by an abnormally large margin. Nelson, King, Henderson, Scheyer, Thomas, Pawlus, Smith, Singler. I'd take all 8 of those guys over Basset/Ellis/Crawford except for maybe King, but he is a better shooter than anyone IU has.

I think White/Gordon make it a close game, but Duke is too deep, and way better coached.
“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves."

"I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

Duke and UNC would kick the shit out of us...

Duke beat Wisconsin by 30... we looked horrid against them.

Coach K and Roy beat Sampson 9/10 times

Athletes all down their benches...

I say our only legit chance is Elite 8. I don't see us beating Duke, UNC, Kansas or Memphis honestly now. I thought for a minute we stood a chance but no shot.

hey ya'll it's all about discipline and coaching...did you see how they spread the ball out and penetrated...if we had someone to coach that offense to perfection with gordon, bassett, and crawford drilling shots from the outside and DJ on the inside...DAMN! man the biggest player they had out there was singler and they contained hansborough to a degree. agghhh! hopefully sampson is doing what he's promising with our offense. i'm telling you guys i see some stevie wojo in our future!

When you have a coach like Mike K. and a roster of pretty much all McDonald's All-Americans, you put together one tough ass squad. Duke really spreads out the offense, makes their opponents turn the ball over, and have so many guys that can score. They may not have much of an inside game, but this could be one of the best Duke teams that I've seen in awhile.
