Now if we can only get Duke EMS or Life Flight to cart him into the Nose Dome on a stretcher, in a total body cast and have him burst out just before tipoff and have a career high or two (points and/or rebounds, that is, not TO and missed shots), then we'll be in business

. Seriously, that is good news.

This is the game. The advance information gets better and better as the temperatures get hotter and hotter.... we're up to the mid 70s on the western edge of the Piedmont. This news is exciting... I read earlier that Lance was about 75%. I trust Coach K to decide whether to play him tomorrow or hold him for the Big Dance.

This would be great. At least it would keep our "Five Forward" starting line up intact. Assuming Scheyer is in, which is my understanding.

I can't wait to see Zoub come of the bench in that mask!

Zoub doesn't need a mask and won't be wearing one. So said Coach K yesterday.

Zoub should still wear one. Maybe like Rorschach's mask. But I doubt the tarheels are deep enough to be distracted by such a psychological ploy.

g-man just said during texas-kansas telecast that lawson is a gametime decision

**Hancock 4 Duke** · 03-07-2009, 05:51 PM

K should only put LT in if Zoubs and Plumlee aren't doing well. We can't afford Lance Thomas to be too weak for the tournament.

Dang, I was really looking forward to seeing that.

I highly doubt they'd play Lance if there was any chance of his further damaging his ankle. As K said, Lance either will be ready to play his normal role, or he won't play at all.

I've never understood why Knight called it "five forwards." Since when are Scheyer, Williams and Henderson not "guards?"

**ArkieDukie** · 03-07-2009, 06:33 PM

Great news about Thomas! This is huge!

Maybe Zoubek can come out in a mask like the one on Silence of the Lambs. Just for intros, though. He can then take it off and dominate the paint.

Dear Basketball Gods,

Thank you.

My guess is that he was going purely off of height. All are listed as 6'4" and above. Plus, none really fit in to the pg mold...

Still. it doesn't make a lot of sense?

It would have been nice if one of the other panelists that were sitting there with Knight would have asked him what he meant, probably would have been an interesting explanation. But none of them seem to question what Knight says very much for some reason. My guess is if you aren't playing with your true center or your true point guard, then you are more or less left with players who function like what a more typical forward would, or something.

**zingit** · 03-07-2009, 08:28 PM

I think Coach Knight was referring to the form of our offense when Williams is in the line-up, in that we have five players who can drive.
