Zoubek

[Canadian Dimes]

I know about 100 alums. They are all down to earth, passionate about basketball, and were happy as a clam (how happy can a clam be, but I digress) their team made the Final Four. Not sure why your neighbors are d-bags....could be that you bring out the best in them

Actually they are nice people and I enjoy them as neighbors so maybe I was ovverly critical.  However, they both seem to always want to compare themselves to MArquette, ie we are better than you and we are a better school than you.  When I bring up the BE or the 3 final 4's and 2003 they then typically defer to graduation rates.  Now my guess is they are reading the exact same articles as everyone else that annually anounce MU and Butler as two of the few schools that graduate 100% of there players but they must gloss over the MU part.  I feel no need to argue that "so does MArquette".  it 's just annoying, My guess is  Hoya fans heard from Mason fans for a short while about how they were better, too.  Dumb

I was surprised that when Zoubek came back in with around 10 minutes left and 4 fouls Butler didn't do anything to try to foul him out.  I would have put Jukes in for a while like they did earlier in the game and draw Zoubek out on the perimeter.  Drive him, shoot over the top of him and pump fake him.  Get him out on the perimeter and make him uncomfortable.  I don't remember Duke ever really adjusting well to that.  I could be wrong.  Probably better coaches to second guess at this point in time than Stevens.

How is a National Champ overrated?

A very good point.  I have yet to hear anyone saying that this Dukie team is one for the ages.  If that smack starts coming down the pike, then we can discuss overrated.
