Perhaps Capel turns it around, but hopefully this at least puts the brakes on the idea that he should even be considered as a successor to K.
He has no track record of being a good head coach, 1 NCAA tournament appearance for teams that didn’t include Blake Griffin.
Duke can (and should) do better and aim higher.
ehhhh georgia state is actually pretty good. closer to losing to wake, according to currnet KP preseason #s. GT is also not that good. they only had like 70% chance of winning pre-game.
Either way, not a good look for a team that people were touting as the one that would be the one that finally pastner was going to win with. With patience in atlanta likely wearing thin, and being on year 5 of a 6 year contract (and thus effectively needing to be re-signed or fired at the end of th eyear), IMO he's coaching for his job.

Pastner said if his contract is not extended this year he'll really be put out...
BC put up a great fight against #3 Villanova, the game went down to the wire and BC led by like nine points with 10 or so minutes left before Nova went on a run. They look like a tough out this year.
Co-sign! I came here to write about this game. BC looks really athletic and Makai Ashton-Langford was really tough. Both Nova and BC were playing a lot of zone.
I noticed Nova's Bryan Antoine, who was a big Duke recruiting target a few years back, was not playing. It looks like that surgically repaired shoulder that he's been struggling with for years is still not 100%. Nova didn't look great, but I am not sure who is going to look great early this year..including Duke.
BC in a tight one with Rhode Island. Good to see hoops, even bad hoops.
