MBB: Duke vs. Long Beach State Pre-Game and In-Game Thread [Archive]

They are tied 37 all with Kentucky at Halftime. Hopefully they leave it all in Lexington.

Interestingly, Pomeroy's ratings predicted Kentucky, 82-68. Not too shabby.

But Long Beach State is a decent team. Should give Duke a nice test. They seem to be small, so that will give Coach K a chance to figure which lineups and strategies work best against a smaller team.

LBSU's coach, Dan Monson [ex-Minnesota and Gonzaga], seems to have a real plan to get his team prepared for this year's NCAA-tourney run, and more likely next year's. Four starters, and 5 of top 8 players, are sophs! Looks like Monson knows he's got a team that can make some noise in '10-'11 and '11-'12, and possibly even March '10. Has played at ND, Texas, and now UK, soon at CIS. Tough, tough, but those guys should be ready for Big West.

Wonder whether they get a return from Duke out west next season? Doubtful, but anyway the guy's got a plan. Seems smart to me.

These guys are a good test. Stayed within 15 or so of UK and 10 or so of Clemson. Good team

Anyone know if this will be blacked out for out-of-region Directv subscribers? The unc-greensboro game was on schedule and I did not get to see it. Calling Directv is useless, and the best I could do at FoxSportsSouth was leave a question. Still waiting to hear form them.

I don't know what's in/out of region. Right now I'm in Greenville, SC/Asheville NC area, and FoxSportsSouth has the game scheduled on DirecTV, so that seems to be good news for me, and I hope you.

Thanks for replying.

The UNC-Gbo game was scheduled on directv, too. I'm not holding my breath.

Yeah, I am not quite sure what to think of them. They played those teams well but got manhandled by WVU, ND, and Texas. I know one thing and that is that TJ Robinson can flat out rebond. He went for 22 and 18 against Loyola Maramount. Kyle and/or LT will have their hands full with him. Crazy thing is that their top 9 scorers are 6-7 or shorter. They have two 7 footers who don't play much at all. We should be able to handle them inside. I see another double double from Miles and a step forward for Mason. We'll win 87-62.

Bob Green

12-27-2009, 10:18 PM

We'll win 87-62.

A 25 point victory is a very bold prediction. Yeah, LBSU lost to Texas by 33 and West Virginia by 23, but they played Clemson and Kentucky close losing by 8 and 13 respectively. They've lost to four Top 20 teams by an average margin of 19.75 points. I'm thinking more along the lines of a 12-14 point win for our Blue Devils.

Of course, this is one of those cases where I hope you're right and I'm wrong. There are times when I really enjoy being wrong. :cool:

gofurman

12-28-2009, 10:20 AM

Wow, check out LBSU's schedule! They're 6-6, but Duke will be the FOURTH top 8 team they've played this year - plus Clemson, Notre Dame, and UCLA. They sure must have an ambitious AD...

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/teams/schedule?teamId=299&year=2010

yep - no knock on Duke - but we will not surprise them with our talent. They are playing a seriously hard schedule against some great teams... UK, Clemson, Texas...

Of course the transitive property applies. It ends up in Duke being 52 points better than Duke. We would win any time we play ourselves. QED.

Click on the 620 The Buzz window.

No TV for me, either. Even though it's listed on Dish Network, in the alternate 400 channels, which usually indicates the game will be televised. Looks like I might as well hit up my kid sister's hs game tonight.

Which is probably not such a bad thing;) My fan psychosis will be waiting when I get back. That I'm sure of.

I just went to channel 452 and it listed the game just as you said, but when I clicked on it I received the pop-up that it's not available in my area. I guess Oregon is too far north of Long Beach State and definitely too far west of Durham.

I haven't been able to locate it on Justin TV yet, either.

FWIW, XM Channel 190 has the game. Only reason I subscribed to XM several years ago was so I could listen to Duke games that weren't televised.

I live in California. I pay DirecTV extra bucks so I can Tivo the Duke games on the Fox Sports Network. But now, for the second time this season, the game is blacked out in my area. In California! Why in the good lord's name can I not see it? I've always been able to get the games this way in prior years. Has the policy changed this year? Who is responsible for making that decision? Is it somebody at Duke or the network? Does anybody know?

I'm now listening to the game at http://www.espntriangle.com/ (Thanks, Cameron!) and I would be happy to pay them for the service, but I'd be much happier to be watching something that I paid for!

Duke is up 45-25 at half.

Singler and Scheyer have 11 each. Nolan has 8, while Andre has 7.

Duke is 2-8 from the FT line. Some odd stats so far in this one.

To answer a previous poster, Mason is playing and has a couple of nice assists and almost threw down an alley oop that only Grant Hill could have gotten to.

Anyway, two questions.

1. Are there recruits in attendence today? There are a couple of guys behind the Duke bench that look like they could be recruits.

2.I've noticed a guy who looks about 6'4" or so in street clothes sitting next to Seth Curry on the bench all year. Any idea who that is?
