I want to play UNC on Sunday... anyone else?

[DonnyDevil]

I hope like hell we get a chance to play them again on Sunday. Saturday night won't happen again... Greensboro is not the Smith Center and I don't see them hanging 51 in the first half on us again.

Mark it down - Kyle gets his shot back and the rest is history. The kid is way to competitive and to much of a true warrior to end his senior season with the way he has been playing. I work with mostly UNC fans and they are all way to cocky right now. You would think they won the National Championship after Saturday.

I hope to see you all in Cameron to welcome home the National Champs again this year.

GO DUKE!!!!!!

I definitely want to play the Heels again for a few reasons:

-It will mean we made the ACC Tourny title game
-It will be a chance for some payback
-If we can win the ACC Tourny, we'll likely get a 1 seed in the NCAAT. If we win without going through UNC, the world will say we got a pass from the committee which will mean I will wind up mad at the world and fighting with the world. There's too much fighting in the world as it is.

Count me in as well. I want to get this nasty taste out of my mouth by beating Carolina for the ACCT title and be recognized as the official champion of the ACC heading into the NCAA tournament.

Put me on the list of Duke fans that want to play UNC@CH again.

[OZZIE4DUKE]

Absofrigginlutely! Bring 'em on!

[kong123]

Bring it on!!!!!!!!

I believe Carolina is a better team than us right now. I don't want to play any teams that are better than us in the ACCT as I hope to win out and get the last #1 seed.

IMO, the best way to "win" the NC is to play the best competition possible in preparation for the NCAA tournament as opposed to shying away from it. I'm more focused on the team playing well heading into the NCAAT than seeding. We should get a pretty high seed regardless. To be honest I don't care about a No. 1 seed right now; I just want a rematch with UNC and beat them for the ACCT. Think about the confidence booster and momentum that would do for the team heading into the tournament.

I agree partly...I don't think UNC is a better team then us at all but they're style is just a total mismatch for us. Some teams just have ur number and u don't match up well with them, that's what I see w/ UNC...I'd still like to get them on a neutral court and see how things go down, get some possible revenge...But if we didn't have to play them I wouldn't be disappointed

The only reason why their style "might" be a mismatch for us is because of our loss of KI. I want beat a dead horse; but if we had KI things would be different. Saying that, we don't and that's okay because this team is still capable of beating UNC and their style of play. I look forward to seeing that in the ACCT.

I would prefer someone knock the Tar Heels out of the ACC tourney on Friday Afternoon. If not Friday, then Saturday!

If all things, happen that should, and the basketball gods look down, it will be a Rematch on Sunday afternoon in Greensboro North Carolina!

ACC TOURNEY! WILL YOU BE THERE?

I will, and as always,

Go Duke!

[devildeac]

I'd be ecstatic if someone beat them Friday or Saturday. I'd be happy if they entered the ACCT 0-25 and lost on Thursday. If we play them Sunday, bring it.

And Greensboro is not neutral.

Yea, see my post, #16, above. Kinda like calling the Charlotte Coliseum a "neutral" court in 2005.. Those *&%$ even booed our band and cheerleaders that day.

[DevilWearsPrada]

Charlotte is NOT a neutral court. Charlotte NC is I85 southbound Chapel Hill.

However, there is as much opportunity for Duke fans to buy tickets to GBoro, as anyone else.

You could buy them from Duke, or other ACC schools. Plenty of tickets, on Thursday, when 4 teams go home. The scalpers will have good tickets.

There might even be opportunity to buy from Gboro coliseum. I dont even know if the event is sold out.

GET yourself to GBoro, and support the Blue Devils! I just hate it, when those Loud mouth Tar Heels.. do their dang Tar Heel Chant. YOU cant drown it out, unless the band plays over it.

Lets make GBoro Coliseum, another Cameron Indoor Stadium this year!

ACC TOURNEY! WILL YOU BE THERE?

And as always,
Go DuKe!

[Kedsy]

I want to play in the ACCT championship game and I want to win it. I would not mind beating UNC in that game. On the other hand, I always root for UNC to lose every game, so I won't be rooting for them to get to the ACCT championship game. Just can't do it.

Having said that, I'm not afraid of them. I do not think they're better than us. I do not think they're a bad match up for us. I do not care if Greensboro is "neutral." We are the better team and I just hope that we play like it.

That is true. I was there and it was a little hard for me to believe. It seemed about 75% against us at least. JJ said they walked in a restaurant and got booed.

[dukebluesincebirth]

If Kyle is going to bring his A game and Ryan Kelly is going to show up, OF COURSE!

If I'm going to get a generally same performance as Saturday, NO WAY!

I don't think UNC is going to make many adjustments at all, pretty much everything they did, worked. From Coach K's comments, I don't know if he'll make many adjustments either. He seemed to think it was just a matter of open shots not falling. I have to keep confidence in Kyle turning things around because if not, our season is pretty much over. He has the warrior mentality to not give up, so I'll give Kyle (and Kelly) another chance.
BRING IT!

I am all for playing them again but only if we win. Not interested in losing to them again.

[hq2]

Actually, if we're going to get a #1 seed (which now looks very doubtful) we'd need to play (and beat) them again. We don't have enough quality wins otherwise.

Whether we can do it is another issue. They're clearly playing better now, and our bigs don't seem to be able to do anything against them at all. It would take a major
change in coaching strategy (more plays to free up our bigs inside + better shooting)
for it to happen. Relying on Nolan and Seth clearly isn't enough.
