MBB: Duke vs Texas in Charlotte (Tuesday 11/4, 8:45pm ET, ESPN) Pregame & In-Game Thread

[ClemmonsDevil]

I am taking my girlfriend, whose PhD is from UNC. She is rocking a Duke sweatshirt. To be fair, she claims American University as her alma mater. But the subtle indoctrination continues...

I love Duke Basketball. It helps remind me of the last game me and my sweet dad watched together. 2010 National Championship game. He was curled up in a blanket dying of that dreadful disease. I will never forget that last shot and his reaction. Let’s go Duke!!

I was fortunate to be raised by a mom and dad that were just hardworking mill workers from the south. Didn’t have much, but had enough to send me to basketball camp in 1989. Been in love ever since.

It’s over

i watch pretty much all games on YouTube regardless. They may be "pirate" versions, and sometimes that particular channel will get blocked during the game due to "violations". But wrt Duke basketball, every game is available on YouTube and often via multiple channels.

How do you find games like Texas v Duke on regular YouTube? I have YouTube TV and am without ESPN right now. I had to miss the Vanderbilt v Texas football game Saturday and I was so pissed off.

I’m torn on who to pull for tonight — my alma mater (Texas) or Duke. In the end I’ll almost certainly pull for Duke. My wife is in an alum of Duke Medical School, so I have some legitimacy as far as Duke is concerned. Besides, I defer to her on all matters, so why not this as well?

We can't move on from Roger Ayers, he is a cockroach who will out live us all while still calling games. Gross.

Man, what a tribute to Dickie V at the beginning. Pretty special.

Scheyer wisely gets Ngongba out before he picks up his second quickly, as almost just happened.

#8 for Texas is playing cheap… two-handed shove in the opening seconds on Ngongba, throwing elbows when he gets a rebound, and they finally called the offensive foul on him.
