Excuse for Duke to play in NY every other year.  St. Johns has upset them a few times when you wouldn't expect it at all over the past decade.  I suppose they could play Fordham or Manhattan or Columbia or something.  Just no good college hoops teams in NYC right now.

Young Johnnies waited too long to come back in this one. Actually got close towards the end.

I missed a good chunk of the game, but I'm not sure why St. John's did anything other than drive to the basket - Duke couldn't stop them, and SJU was getting a good number of boards on the offensive end.  Biggest problems  for them were ball handling and defending the perimeter.

Is it just me... or will Duke be the first #1-#2 seed out of the tournament this year... their team is just out of gas, and really isn't that good


The idea of having 1 athletic player and 4 unathletic players around him just baffles me... Scheyer hasn't panned out the way Duke has wanted him to I have to feel.

Not an issue. Duke is not a #1 or #2 seed right now. Things could change, but they aren't one of the top 8 teams in the country right now.

I bet you a lot of us would take Scheyer's shooting right now.

Not I.

He's a defensive liability.
