Hey Ship If K were coaching State this year what will there record be? I would say only one loss. State has lost too many close ones. Not smart enough players, or coaching? I think both. Gott just cant get through to CJL. Too much talent, and a junior who makes silly mistakes. Think K would do wonders with CJL. Look what he did with the egos of Lebron and company!

State would be a legit. ACC contender if K were running the show.

You made some solid points in this one. Coach K won two Gold's and those super-stars respected and they love Coach K. K is a straight shooter with strong discipline, and this is another reason why Duke has won so many games under his leadership.

State would be 19-3, 20-2, something like that if K coached 'em.

Duke's defense against FSU today was very impressive. They need to bring this kind of effort consistently because they aren't going to hit 61% of their FGs and 61% from 3 point range many games. I think their offense fed off their defense today and will ultimately be the defining factor in how far they go this year.

GO DUKE!!!!!

You nailed this one MoDuke. Duke's defense gave them opportunities to score the ball. Coach K doesn't miss many in breaking down an opponent.

RE: Duke misses Ryan Kelly's defense most

Still trying to figure out when he became such a great defensive player? Communicator? He is the only one allowed to talk on defense? You mean two, or three flopps a game. 6'11" and five boards, and two blocks. Great numbers for his size. Again Ryan Kelly is the CHOSEN ONE TWO!! Lookout Lebron!!

A quote from an article on cbssports.com (2-5-13) "There is no denying this is a different team without Kelly, and not just on the offensive end of the court, where he has been Duke's most efficient long-range shooter this season. Kelly is also a cerebral positional defender who rarely makes mistakes and also has length to bother shooters. Cerebral means smart Toddler, something you seem to lack.
