Good win for Duke. I hope they can rally around this win and use it to make a nice tourney run.
re: the pound it in to Chante Black strategy. I'm not sure why I think this, but I think Chante would be more comfortable/productive being the #2 option on offense.
Maryland is just not deep enough, and with the graduation of Harper/Langhorne this year--this might be a do or die year for Toliver & Co, as they won't have as polished/talented a frontcourt as they do this year. Kizer will be a freshman and Mingo didn't see much time this year.
What's the deal with Strickland?

And surprise, surprise, suddenly these same players who looked slow, befuddled and untalented in the tractor offense, now look like tough as nails, skilled competitors.
So is this how McCallie "coaches for March"??? Make the players look totally stupid through the regular season and suddenly in the post season, let them play with a REAL offense? Sheesh.
Well on to the Championship Game!! |
I didn't get a chance to watch the game, but it seems like the players decided to take fate into their own hands. They are far too talented a group to be where they're at now. Hopefully, this means a good showing in the tourney. But I think they're still vulnerable.
Maryland will be a little down next year because their experience post play will be gone, but so will North Carolina. It may turn out to be Duke's year.

They're also held back by their coaching.

So is Duke.
But I guess, what can you expect from a conference where Hatchell wins COY...

That is WAY too true...as I said, this is the first year when Duke got out-coached by the Hatch. We've been beaten by the Heels, but never before out-coached. And Queen Syl knew it too...and thus the exhuberant post game celebration (following their win in durham) that involved toilet paper and police...
