March 5, 200421 yr read the unc-duke article in this wks SI. muy bien! I thought the guy who wrote it s dook more than he likes UNC. It was alright but he was very pessimistic in his comments about players such as Kris Lang. Also the whole liberal, conservative deal I didn't like since I am a Carolina fan that is conservative. Although I didn't agree with him on everything I thought it was a good read.

It was alright but he was very pessimistic in his comments about players such as Kris Lang. Also the whole liberal, conservative deal I didn't like since I am a Carolina fan that is conservative. Although I didn't agree with him on everything I thought it was a good read. i thought he did a great job outlining the difference between the two schools and showing how deep the rivalry goes i did disagree on the liberal/conservative, although he did point out dean smith is super liberal and krybaby is conservative the whole thing about lang i agreed with completely the thing about capel i disagree finally: something in SI ripping duke. i thought id never see the day :thumbup
March 5, 200421 yr Report from K-ville: GO TO HELL, CAROLINA, GO TO HELL! That's all for now. More updates to come later.
March 6, 200421 yr Dook sucks. Hopefully Manuel will be able to play so that he can shut down pot smoker redick.
March 6, 200421 yr Author now that im back from the fhsaa girls bball finals in lakeland (gulliver won), i can break down the game inside: May, Jawad vs. Sh Williams, Deng. it is important for Carolina to run their offense through sean may and force duke to send an extra man to cover him, giving other players opportunities. also getting byron sanders and justin bohlander minutes will be key to rest may. depth should not be a problem in the middle for duke, since they have shav randolph on the bench. Deng's versatility is a plus outside: Felton, McCants, Jackie Manuel vs. reDICK, ewing, duhon felton's job is to keep the tar heels under control. too often the cameron crazies intimidate opponents into turnovers, so felton will need to make smart passes. duhon must do what hes done all year: lead the blue devils. rashad mccants cant be out on the 3 point line all night. he plays his best basketball taking it to the hoop by using his speed to get to the bucket. the most intiguing defensive matchup could be manuel vs. reDICK. manuel shut down reDICK in chapel hill earlier this year, but he will not be 100 percent or not play at all on saturday. bench i cannot stress this enough: carolina's bench must put in productive minutes. duke won the last meeting because the heel were too slow to get back on defense, leaving duhon an easy layup for the win. the bench will become very important later in the game prediction: close game. i think carolina will get revenge, but i may be wrong. i dont know. i do know this will be a close game decided in the last minutes. and i also know that mabdul doobakus should shove it
March 6, 200421 yr I'm sorry to say this UNC fans because I also hate duke but duke will win. It will be close....it will be a thriller.....but duke will prevail
March 6, 200421 yr Author I'm sorry to say this UNC fans because I also hate duke but duke will win. It will be close....it will be a thriller.....but duke will prevail i cant completely disagree with that. duke is a great team and they have been the dominant team as of late. i just think this is the day carolina finslly closes the gap and beats them but...it will be close :thumbup GO HEELS GO http://smilies.jeeptalk.org
March 6, 200421 yr and i also know that mabdul doobakus should shove it That's what I like to hear. Should be a great game, but I think we're ready for you.
March 6, 200421 yr Are you gonna be there Mabdul? I most certainly will. My final game in the student section... :thumbdown Better make the most of it. My key to the game: Neither team has much inside depth at all. GTech got Shelden Williams in foul trouble, and then exploited that the rest of the game. I figure whichever team can keep its big men in the game will win the game. So, Sean May or Sean Williams, whichever gets in foul trouble, the other team will win.
March 7, 200421 yr Author i dont think sean williams will be a factor tonight since he doesnt exist anyways, its time for vengence, and the way to get the victory is to get duke in foul trouble
March 7, 200421 yr This game has alot of hype. ESPN is having a 1 hour segment for Duke-UNC just for this game.
