Palehosefan Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 21, 2010 -> 07:17 PM) Cal is not terrible, but people don't realize how sensational Duke is on defense. Cal is pretty bad. Outside of losing to UCLA, USC, Arizona, and Oregon State, their best win on the season came against Washington at home. They had no other wins against a tourney team until they defeated Louisville. Zoubek was 5 inches taller than anyone Cal put on the floor until they hilariously put Max Zhang into the game for 7 minutes. Nolan Smith is a very good all-around player and defender, but Duke hasn't even been challenged by the committee yet. Duke against Gonzaga or Northern Iowa would have been great to see. Now Duke gets JaJuan Johnson against their entire frontcourt. Awesome. Poor JaJuan will have 3 fouls before coach K even wrinkles his face at the refs for the first time.

They lost to San Francisco and Loyola Marymount while their only wins vs. tournament teams were St. Mary's (who they were 2-1 against) and Wisconsin. They were 3-4 against tourney teams. I don't think they'd give Duke a better test than they gave Syracuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke lost to the same Wisconsin team that Gonzaga beat by 13. Hell, Saint Mary's, a team that Gonzaga whipped 2/3 this year should have been a 8-9 seed over both Louisville and California. Either way, it doesn't matter anymore. I don't think Duke will get past Baylor anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCAA says they sent Derrick a report in Mid-March when he was still playing, and he ignored it. The letter basically stated that if the letter was ignored he could lose all eligibility. Calipari could have at least had someone read it to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the NCAA is telling the truth, there is still nothing they can do to Rose. Derrick might have screwed over Memphis by ignoring the letter, but Memphis knew what they were getting into with him I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hewitt won't go to Iowa. If he doesn't go to St. John's by Friday, he'll stay at GT next year. As of tonight, he has met with St. John's but is sleeping on his decision. I'd say it's 60/40 that he goes to St. John's....and let me say that 100 pct of the GT fan base is hoping he leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 If Hewitt leaves GT, look for GT to be a major player with Tubby Smith. Sounds like there's a good chance it happens if Hewitt leaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
