Go to Hell Carolina Go to Hell!!!!

Did our guys try to just rush the court? Really?

[Les Grossman]

Second half looked pretty good

[J4Kop99]

It was ugly throughout, but a win is a win. Mason is going to sleep real well tonight knowing that, although he struggled mightily, his team got the W.

-Did they actually try to rush the court? What was that about? silly freshmen...

No. I believe that was media, security, coaches, cheerleaders, etc.

Did our guys try to just rush the court? Really?

No. Managers and event staff. Clock and horn not synched up.

[bbosbbos]

Do not know what to say.

K waived them off.
thank you!

[scottdude8]

Someone please tell me court-rushing wasn't even a passing thought in the mind there, let alone something a few actually did. That's not the taste we should have in our mouths after a fantastic effort and a great win.

[chaosmage]

on K for not letting the fans rush. And even better job by our fans and students for showing respect.

Good game and I'll be wearing my tie and hat tomorrow! :-) GO DEVILS!

Really disliked Quinn's first few minutes. Really liked the way he turned it around. On the other side, I can't remember the last time I watched a UNC-Duke game and didn't think UNC's point guard was impressive...

Go Duke!

[CDu]

Well, we played an awful basketball game, but got the W anyway. It was nice of Mason to finally get his head on straight down the stretch. There was no excuse for how badly he let McAdoo outplay him in the first half, but it was a different story in the second half.

[CDu]

No. I believe that was media, security, coaches, cheerleaders, etc.

Yup. Much like the alleged court rushing after Dockery's miracle 3.

[bbosbbos]

We are Duke. Best team in the nation.

"I've always said this is one of the best games in college sports." -Mason Plumlee

Have we already found our QOTY?

[subzero02]

A win is a win but we have work to do... I am glad that we play them again. I am still want to squash them

[sporthenry]

Yup. Much like the alleged court rushing after Dockery's miracle 3.

The Dockery one seemed to have a few more people. This one was just Dickie V said it and people will run with it.

And we did rush the court last night.

You lucky dog, you!

[scottdude8]

Can't give Mason QOTY after, sorry to say, a very uninspired effort from him. He bailed us out with great FT shooting, but he seemed asleep for much of the game. Even with foul trouble you can't play matador defense.

That being said, we won. We beat UNC. They went to hell. That's all that matters.

Positives: Win over Carolina at home to celebrate Coach K's birthday. Made free throws when it counted.

Negatives: Second straight terrible game against a terrible team, which depended heavily on the other team being terrible when it counted.

I guess they all count as wins in the end, but that was not impressive. One assist in the first half? Not getting in the bonus until 30 seconds left in the second half? Painful to watch.
