First... was one of the announcers seriously saying they thought Duke deserved higher than a 4 seed in the NCAAs?
Second... they were talking about Duke developing a third scoring option... uh, I don't think the team realistically has a second option yet. Isn't it a bit early to talk of a third? Or am I missing something?
who is the first scoring option?
Well, Duke was firmly alive for a 3 seed at the beginning of the week, but after 2 losses, not so much anymore.
Seth Davis has said he moved us into the last 3 because Creighton beat SIU. he dropped SIU to a 4.

who is the first scoring option?
i completely agree with that and hope we run our offense through him from here on out.
It's tough when your "best" player barely scores double digits in most games and has more turnovers than assists and can't shoot freethrows and spends more time whining than getting down the court and grabs your point guard by the jersey and slings him out of the way while he is trying to play defense.

Paulus had 20+ today...?
You might be right. Looking at the conference-only stats on theacc.com through yesterday, Demarcus and John lead the team with an average of 13.9 ppg, Paulus is at 13.3, and McRoberts is at 12.9.
Excluding the first 3 games of the conference schedule when Greg was in a slump might make him the best scorer on the team.
For all the heat Josh takes here (from myself as well, admittedly), it is interesting to note that he ranks 6th in the league in field goal percentage during conference play, at 52.5%. His number of attempts and percentage are not drastically different from those above him, a few of whom are also big men.
Interesting side note - those other big men are ranked in offensive rebounds, while Josh is not. That suggests that he might be taking (and making) more difficult shots than others. On the other hand, I'd love the team to have more offensive rebounds.
So I'm not a fan if I don't like how some players are performing? If that is the prevailing attitude around here, methinks I won't stick around long.
