    Go to hell, Carolina.

    Duke wins tonight.
    No longer overwhelmed it seems so simple now.

    If both teams are healthy, UNC is a much better team. Unfortunately Ty Lawson didn't play tonight. Sucks for the Hells. Good for zee Devils.

    Congrats Dookies. They were better tonight. Hopefully we get to watch 2 more. sgossard3, Im a huge lurker, but the UNC Duke post lured me out.

    Good game. We can't win with Lawson out and Ellington shooting 3-14. Even if Tyler puts up 28 pts. and 17 boards it isn't enough...
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    Did anyone else notice that there were two people who made their first post ever in this thread? One of which has been a member for 2 1/2 years and the other for almost a year!?

    I just found it rather peculiar that this is your coming out party, but welcome!

    And fuck UNC :D

    yah it is a lil odd that it takes something completely non PJ related to bring some people out of the woodwork... but whatever does the trick im all for! and it was a great game worth talking about! i think if UNC was completely healthy than duke wouldve just stepped up their game and the result would still be the same... well see come tournament time!

    You are crazy to think that the result would be the same with a healthy Lawson. Lawson would create huge matchup problems with the Duke guards. He can penetrate better than Thomas and doesn't turn it over as much as Thomas. Not to mention, a healthy Lawson creates better shot opportunities for everyone, which would have been better for Ellington as most of his shots were contested. I really hope Coach Buy-A-Vowel called Leonard Hamilton and thanked him for having his thug injure Lawson.

    ha I went to duke and I had no idea last night was the duke-unc game. whoops.
  • Steve DunneSteve Dunne Posts: 4,965
    after the huskies beat the orange in the loud house last night, i had the unfortunate pleasure of having the unc/duke game blacked out so i had to endure watching the texas tech/baylor game. can you believe that? i don't know what happened, but we didn't get the game. SOCCER was more interesting than that game. freaking SOCCER! ESPN blew it last night.

    btw...i HATE duke. HATE. Passionately. HATE. My favorite thing in the world was watching Rod Sellers piledrive Christian Laettner's head into center court back in the 90s. Awesome.
    I love to turn you on

    i'm bummed that 'nova never plays a big east team for rivalry week. it's always st. joe's. for my generation, big east games were always a much bigger draw than the big five.

    True, but there was a history that has made them rivals. When the A-10 started, Villanova was in it. It left to join the Big East in 1982 when that started up and the A-10 replaced Nova with St. Joe's which were rivals going back to the early goings of the Big 5. That the fact many people from St. Joe's and Temple blame Rollie and Nova for the death of the Big 5 just added more heat to the Nova St. Joe's rivalry.

    The rivalry probably isn't as big with students as it is with alumni so I see your point. But I don't see Nova - St. Joe's not being the biggest rivalry in the city anytime soon.

    i'm well aware of the rivalry. ;)

    just saying...when i went to 'nova the big east was amazing and had a lot of the top players in the country with ray allen, iverson, kittles, john wallace, etc., playing in it. very competitive with teams playing for not only the big east title, but national championships. the games we wanted to see and traveled all over for were the big east games.
    but i am also well aware other philly schools consider it a big deal and love to hate 'nova. just isn't really how it is anymore for 'nova fans....at least not any of my friends.

    duke sucks they just shoot 3's

    heels are built for a longer run in the tourney

    the shooting will catch up with duke

    also ther heels were missing their guards ,which would help defend the 3's

    that being said duke shot lights out and won

    we'll see them again soon
  • nfanelnfanel Posts: 2,558
    i'm not a duke fan but got to go to a game at cameron last year. what an experience! amazing game against va tech that went into overtime and one of the coolest sport environments i've ever been a part of. i can't imagine the energy in that building for the unc game!!!

    No offense, that's part of the reason why a lot of the Philly locals don't like Nova. I mean you told me before that you've never been to the Palestra. Roy Williams brings Kansas and North Carolina there, Illlinois has been there when they were number one in the country and lots of other big schools schedule a road game at a mid major like Penn just so their kids can see how historic the arena is. More NCAA tournament games have been played there than in any other venue in the country. St. Joe's Nova tix were going for like 150 on stubhub on Monday at the Palestra.

    It's just that Philly thinks Nova has forgotten its roots and moved on from the City Series whereupon if it wasn't for the city series Nova wouldn't be where it is. It's a catch 22 for Nova. Because in one sense it has outgrown the local rivalries, but in another sense by putting conference rivalries ahead of its local ties it turns off the local fans.

    Case in point, when St. Joe's was undefeated a few years ago, the city was behind them on sports talk radio except for Nova fans, but when Nova had that run and lost to Florida the support wasn't universal.

    Personally, I have ties to all 5 big five schools so I root for them all, but growing up in the city, I'd say Nova is the least the supported of the Big Five teams.

    Then again, if I would've taken that offer from Nova and went there instead of Penn, I might be seeing things from a totally different perspective. My high school yearbook even had a typo in it and had me attending Nova after graduation ... lol.

    Nah, it's all good. I just like arguing with someone who is passionate in their cause which most certainly my favorite Nova fan is. ;)
