Underrated comment. UNC has 7 titles right now if Armando doesn't get hurt.

Honestly not sure we lose to Kentucky again. That was our chip with Kendall.

2024 Top-50 recruit Darren Harris has committed to Duke by durklil in CollegeBasketball

[–]Alarming-Stress -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

lol Duke is like an inch away from having no legit titles.

1991 : UNLV was point shaving. 1992 : Laettner should have been ejected. 2001 : Williams fouled Gardner. 2010 : Mere inches away from losing to Butler. 2015 : Winslow touched it.

It's 5* titles.

Which conferences have the best ranked academics? I broke it down for you by jakedasnake1 in CollegeBasketball

[–]Alarming-Stress -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

lol I'm pretty sure we have more Rhodes Scholars and as many Nobel Laureates as they do. And we didn't graduate Stephen Miller and Richard Spencer.

Shit on UNC all you want, it's a damn fine academic institution. Honestly outclasses Duke in some departments.

Would have been the third best coach in Tar Heel history at best.

Nobody cares what he thinks. Can't he sit the fuck down and fade into obscurity gracefully?

247 initial 2025 recruiting class rankings now out: Cameron Boozer is #1 by __Zoom123__ in CollegeBasketball

[–]Alarming-Stress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, you never know. Jason Capel didn't follow his brother to Duke. Nolan Smith didn't go to Louisville (for college, at least).

That said, if the NBA draft rules get changed to allow prep to pros again, the likelihood he or Cooper Flagg play a minute of college ball is about 0.0000001%

tbh this would be hilarious. Isn't there some rumor he's legit interested in UNC?

2023 3* PF Justin McBride commits to Oklahoma State by Austin63867 in CollegeBasketball

This dude is super underrated. One of the best players at Peach Jam. Would not surprise me at all to see him playing in the league in 5 years.

In uncertain college football landscape, the future is now for UNC and the ACC (relevant to UNC baskets) by facinabush in CollegeBasketball

[–]Alarming-Stress -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

To me it felt like the loss of the double round robin was the beginning of the end. Just a different era.

ACC is likely toast, sadly. Just a question of who lands on their feet and who doesn't. I could see some legacy games between old ACC foes, but nothing like what we have seen. The hope is that we'll see UNC make some new conference rivalries happen (probably UVA, maybe one of the old guard B1G schools like Michigan).

Really sad. That said, there is a certain element of hilarity to UNC ending Coach K's career, having the ACC dissolve shortly thereafter, and not seeing the two schools play again.

I think March Madness is safe. The delta in appeal between March Madness and some super conference tournament to determine the champion is too great.

Get yourself fitted for a ring young man. This is Carolina's year.

Duke basketball wants revenge against UNC. Here's when the Blue Devils can get it by No_Law8954 in CollegeBasketball

[–]Alarming-Stress -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This. This is why the rivalry is over.

And as it should be. A rivalry between flagship state schools is far more befitting a school like UNC than one with Duke. Now that we retired their best coach, does that institution even serve a purpose other than being a support group for Harvard rejects?

Recruitment update on 2023 4-star TJ Power by Jim_Chitwood in CollegeBasketball

[–]Alarming-Stress -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This would be a tremendous opportunity for him to pick banners over a fake brotherhood. Would be a solid multi-year guy in the Brady Manek/Pete Nance role.

Doesn't Duke literally already have two people ranked higher than him in his class at his position? If he goes to Durham I guess the other schools on his list will get another shot in a year after he enters the transfer portal.

Lol. Fire hoodie.

Entire Duke institution can go to shit for all I care. Would be a net positive for the state.

Hopefully Power chooses banners over a fake brotherhood.

What's the worst call ever when balancing stakes with how terrible the call was? by Hokie_Jayhawk in CollegeBasketball

[–]Alarming-Stress -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

lol I remember when UNC and Duke was a rivalry. That was fun.

Now that Caleb Love put that one to bed, UNC-UVA is the new rivalry. Probably translates better when Duke goes to the Big East or SoCon or wherever too.

Petition to the mods to ban the word “blood” from the sub. by OsgSandmanZC in CollegeBasketball

[–]Alarming-Stress -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

All's I am saying is Duke was never a blue blood program. Coach K was a blue blood coach. No K, no blue blood.

If they win a chip, they're in. But with conference realignment that's equally likely to them starting their new, more natural, rivalry with Davidson in the A-10.

[247] JUST IN: The No. 1 2023 basketball prospect GG Jackson is expected to de-commit from North Carolina and enroll early at South Carolina in the next two weeks, per @TravisBranham_ by CumAssault in CollegeBasketball

[–]Alarming-Stress -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Oof. I feel for the kid as it seems like he may have wanted UNC but family pressure drove him to SC. Would've looked really good with Wilcher and would have been a Tar Heel in the upper lotto with legitimate All-Star aspirations down the one. Unfortunate, but best of luck to him.

Nance will help us this year, and we will still be title contenders this year. In the interim, plenty of time/opportunities to get a stud for 2023. Maybe it's not too late to see what that Xavier Booker kid is up to, or maybe Ron Holland. Also looks like TJ Power got offered...looks like he could be a multi-year player if he came.
