Down goes Duke!

Good thing. I can pretty much take any other team winning the tourney other than Duke. They got demolished last night. They have no inside game. No big man and no slasher to cut to the hoop. This is typical. They always rely on the outside game and three pointers. They were beaten by the bigger, more physical team.

I'm glad I don't have to see Greg Paulus anymore. The problem is that for every Paulus that leaves there is a Scheyer or Singler that replaces him.

Too bad for Paulus. The guy came out of high school as one of the best basketball and football players in the country. He was a starter pretty much his entire career at Duke and then mid way through his senior year, he was benched and saw very limited action. Probably leaves a bitter taste in his mouth. Still, it was probably deserved. He got in late in the game yesterday probably when the coach thought it was out of reach just to let him finish his career on the court but he was terrible.

That was great.

Look, Scheyer played above himself for a few games. It is clear the guy is not good enough to play point guard against top talent. He is not careful enough with the ball, is not athletic enough, and makes poor shot decisions.

It was bound to happen.
