Duke is the best they are not a joke they are the best college program ever

HAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!!! Duke is a joke! They lost to VCU!

ok ok...i admit that florida state played better last night..but so what...duke will still win when it really counts...in the tournaments... oh yea...and i find it kinda funny how you waited till they lost to reply to my first comment.. UPDATE: yea, they lost, i was really dissapointed in them..that they lost to a team like nc..but oh well like i said..just wait till the tournament

Overrated basketball factory specializing in recruiting non-students. UNLV East Coast.

no one's perfect, but it's best not 2 talk sh@!&%$t until the big lady sings.

Ok, the team is DUKE not DOOK. Second, Duke is the greatest team that there will ever be when Coach Krzyzewski is there and when J.J. Redick is there. Third, J.J. Redick is so hott and he is the greatest NCAA player! Fourth, another reason i like J.J. Redick is because it takes guts to write poetry and have people know that you do especially for a guy so ya that is pretty hott. So any of you people that think that DUKE is gay and J.J. Redick is gay well forget you because they are 21-1 and i'd like to see any of you people who hate DUKE to get out there and give it your all and get 21-1 for a record so ya forget all you retards who hate DUKE!!!

Hmm. Let's see, duke is overrated. well it doesn't take lond to root out the idiots in a group does it. People that say duke is over rated are just grasping for anytthing they can find to cut down the juggernaut that is the Duke Blue Devils. Anyone that says these ludicrous things are clearly either extremely baised or just plain blind. With the player of the year in J.J. and a stellar team how could you make the arrogant assumption that Duke is overrated. Use your intelligence and not your pride. And to bluetarbaby I'm sorry that you think christians are "funny" I'm praying for you and God Bless!

screw dook the heels are underrated. we lost our top 7 scorers and still beat a regular season team by around 50. THAT is amazing coaching. not coach k. all i hear is coach k. i live in durham. coach k's overrated, too. the dude's got his own satellite radio show, all his commercials, everything. its clear he only wants to make money.

OK OK, Duke might be OK this year, but it is ridiculous that they only beat Drextel by 10 points and Memphis by 2 points.

DUKE will be a dominating force and hard to beat!please stop sayin they r overated any team with jj redick and sheldon williams will be hard to beat!not to mention josh mcroberts and greg paulus!

O V E R R A T E D

HOW CAN DUKE BE NUMBER 4 ON THIS LIST FOR RANKED SO HIGH, HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT ALL THE RATINGS ARE BASICALLY AGAINST DUKE, HOW OVER RATED CAN YOU GET. THEY ARE SO OVERRATED FOR BBALL. I CRIED WHEN UNC LOST TO THEM. BUT YA KNOW WHAT, THEY LOST BECUASE JJ REDICK CAN'T PLAY JACK AND HAS TO MAKE SOME OF THE CHEAPIST SHOTS, AND HE IS ALWAYS MAKING ILLEGAL MOVES AND CHEAP PUSH OFFS, THAT IS HIS ONLY GAME HE CAN PLAY. REDICK WILL NEVER BE GOOD! WHAT ABOUT STADOUMIRE, SO MANY PEOPLE TALK ABOUT JJS SHOOTING, BUT ARIZONA'S STOUDAMIRE HAS A HIGHER PERCENTAGE THEN JJ. DUKE SUCKS. CAROLINA RULES AND ALWAYS WILL. WAIT TILL THE STOMP ON YA'LLS BUTTS!

Dook has ugly cheerleaders and a pretty good program! DOES THAT FIT YOUR RULES, RIA SITE ADMINISTRATOR? I'm being censored everybody! I do not like it. This is an opinion site, not a movie a Christian is allowed to see. Oh, I have to literally rate Dook or this will be CENSORED . Ok, I rate them geeky, republican, rich, racist, but pretty good. Yes, I can back that up with facts, dorks. And it would appear that in edition to the wonderful qualities I just mentioned, they are also narcs,.........rats, tattle-tales, squealers, however you want to say it. Why else would the site administrator check every comment I make? Just like a Dookie/communist, sweep anything negative under the rug to prevent others from reading it. Just like K did with that kid's piece in their school paper. Babies. Punk fan base for a punk school. That's why you got booed in Charlotte. But no, it was because the whole crowd was Tarheel fans, right? MY POINT EXACTLY! That's also why Ewing and Love (scrotum stench face) got booed in Asheville this past weekend at that Crossfire game.)))))))))))))))))))) )))))))))UPDATE- RIA ADM, I rated them so don't delete this.................truthaboutduke.com. Scroll down to 'cheer sheet revisited' I think it is, and let the hilarity ensue! Myron Piggie, baby! Hilarious. Caner Medley rules.))))))))))))UPDATE. No, income has nothing to do with basketball.....................unless it's Dookies/Crazies so classlessly ragging on Carolina guys for their financial situation, or their financial situations growing up. Why in the world do people think Dookies are snobs? Kris Lang ring a bell? Rasheed? Most Dookies probably haven't even watched ACC ball long enough to remember. Nope, no snobs there.)))))))))))UPDATE Calling somebody a spoiled rich boy is DEFINITELY classier than calling players from the hood PO BOY and chanting at kids from western NC, hill- billy, hill-billy. And you wonder why locals don't like Dook? )))))))))))))))) )))UPDATE- as long as everybody is reading! The truth shall set you free! un helpful, helpful, whatever, just keep reading! truthaboutduke.com!)))))))))))) )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))UPDATE: DOOK sucks (rated them). Check out my new weblist on 'greatest clutch shooters of the past 20 years, COLLEGE AND PROS. Check out my new weblist about biggest NBA idiots. Dook is lame. Not their game, just themselves in general. If I ever saw them on the streets I'd....................................laugh. Maybe rob their lunch money or something. ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) ))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))UPDATE: Really, 'EMS4DUKE'? I thought Dook fans hated Carolina fans because we are Carolina! Because you are our bitter rivals? Because you are 95 - 124 against us? Because we drink wine and eat cheese like some rich boy trust fund boy school? But if I'm the whole reason, thank you, I'm very flattered. Me? Well, I hate you because you were born. I hate you because that's what Carolina fans are supposed to do. But me being the reason Dookies hate Carolina fans? I've never been more flattered in my life. Lil 'ol wine drinking me? Really? Cool. Man, you guys are lucky. You should count your blessings that you're not some rich boy, trust fund baby school like us. All we do is drink wine, and embrace students from within our state. Us jerks

Duke has one of the premiere basketball programs and a top notch coach in Coach K.I am a UNC fan, (strictly basketball) but not a fan of their typical secular humanist,left wing, multicultural university.Bluetarbaby you agreed to the site rules when you joined,if you can't get your comments across under the rules, that is your problem.You need to look up the word communist as well,UNC is alot closer to being communist than DUKE!

wow bluetarbaby, you are the reason duke fans can't stand carolina fans. you say the most ridiculous things. your comment that you do not even care if the tarheels have a season next year, because that title will keep you happy at least a year is pretty pathetic, to be a fan means you live and die with every game. or are you just a fair weather fan? anyways, we'll see how much you talk next year when we have two acc first team members returning, along with some freshman all americans and a few very experienced seniors, not to leave out demarcus nelson and david mcclure who have a lot of potential, especially in nelson's case. it's going to be an amazing year! duke fans: how many points do we think duke will beat carolina by at cameron? what about the dean dome? i'm going with 24 at cameron and 20 at the dean dome. *i also have to ask what makes one say that duke is racist. Let's take a look at the duke basketball starters, and then the carolina starters (from this year) and ask ourselves which team represented more than one race. oh yes. duke. that's right.

apparently you're not the only one getting censored, so i'm removing part of my entry it doesn't matter because i think i got my point across when i responded to your obnoxious private messages. ******In response do dukebballinbabe i completely agree with you. Duke does nto get all calls I would not lose my voice screaming at refs every game if that was the case. And no matter how much or how little duke beats unc by poeple will always bitch it just shows that they can't accept defeat graciously and to iluvseanmay, i think its so funny how people are so bitter about money. I will say that unc is having a great year, and thought i hate them bc of the rivalry, they definitly deserve their rank this year. But its people like you that degrade UNC by calling people rich schoolboys. That has nothing to do with anything. Income does not have anything to do with going to duke whether you're playing basketball or not. It is blind admissions meaning they accept you regardless of what you make, and then give out need based scholarships so don't be bitter that people that go to Duke are the best of the best academically. Just be content with the fact that UNC is having a great season. ....UPDATE i will never understand why people think Duke gets all the help from the refs. Duke gets so many shi tty calls its ridiculous. Do refs make some mistakes that go in Duke's favor, of course. But generally i think Duke has to deal with alot of horrible calls that have ultimately caused some losses in very close games. UPDATE even if they dont win the championship (which i think they will) they have had an incredible season, earned a number seed, coach k has beaten the all time NCAA tournament wins (**passing dean**) etc. etc. its just been an awesome year and it was supposed to be a building year so i know i'll walk away from this season happy***and calling jj redick a spoiled rich boy is classier?

Ya know....Duke has pulled off some amazing things. They have the Big 3 of course...Redick, Ewing, and Williams. They're not very deep I have to say, but for as little depth as they have...they're excellent. No doubt about it. They lost in the Sweet 16, but who cares!! They got beat by an awesome Michigan St. team with about as much heart as Duke. Williams has the best defense in the league and no one can argue with that. Redick has one of the best shots, and Ewing brings a little of everything. Melchionni has hit some big shots and Randolph has helped Williams quite a bit. Don't underrate Duke only because they have little depth....they're still an awesome ball club. Hey also, they have the MVP of the McDonald's All-America game coming up next year with some other dude....I cannot remember their names right now...oh well. Anyway, Duke is going to have a little bit more depth next year....he he.

I don't hate alot of things... but DUKE is pretty high on my list. Can't stand the prissy rich schoolboy thing and so what if you have a rich daddy... you dont need money to play basketball... you need SKILL! so what if J.J. can play his full 40 minutes? CAROLINA has such great depth that at the highest our players play is 25-30 minutes. If you look on the ACC list for player with most minutes played, of course you'll see J.J. Not one single Carolina player is on that list, and i think that's awesome.. the end of Carolina's bench could beat most teams this season... so who's the better team now? as much as i can't stand Duke and J.J. Redick.. i would never yell f*** u J.J. That was just uncalled for. And the fan who made a comment about sleepin w/ J.J.'s sister. Maryland needs to get some class. UPDATE: didnt even get past the SWEET 16!! dukefan4life04, SORRY u wont be seein carolina in the final four now will you?

No, the UNC fans will never give you a break, Dook. Take it from the neutral Arizona guy who almost started a war here by having the nut to laugh about an old tourney win by the Cats over the Tarheels. UPDATE: Tourney ain't over. Save mouth for later or prepare for mine if you go bye-bye. The Cats are still here to thump any wayward fools who beleive that they hold all the cards.

ACC CHAMPS just like ems4duke said!!!!! I love this Duke team because their is always someone who can step up for the team. Like if J.J. is having a bad game their is someone else who is there hitting all the shots or making steals or something to help them win. In this years regular season there has been so many people who have step up, and to name a few names the guys are: Shavlik Randolph, Lee Melchionni, David Mcclure, Reggie Love, and Demarcus Nelson and many other guys. When Dockery went out no one thought that Duke would be able to win games, but they provided them all wrong, because other people stepped up. Thats whats so great about Duke. Another guy who has stepped up at a right time every game is Daniel Ewing, which we will miss next year since he is a senior. And of corse the Landlord... Sheilden Williams. I'm also sick of people who think all Duke is, is a bunch of snobby rich boys, well they didn't pay the people to give them a scholarship, they earned it because they are good, so it makes no since to me. Well that all I got to say, and good luck to Duke in the NCAA. GO DUKE! P.S. Hey North Caroline if you can't beat Georiga Tech, how do you think you are going to win when you start playing harder teams in the NCAA tournament?? Well I bet we will be seeing you in the Final Four?? See you there! GO DUKE!

I find it funny how the refs always seem to give Duke a little help. I mean, the same foul will be on a Duke opponent, but when it could go agaist Duke, it doesn't seem to get called. JJ Redick is an awesome 3-pt shot, he just needs to get going a lil bit earlier in certain games. Sometimes I think JJ plays hero a bit too much, seeing as how they might have won the UNC game at the end of the season if they had given it to someone who had been shooting better. Next year, after Ewing leaves, someone is really gonna need to step up and become the second shooter. Nelson has potential, as does Melchioni, but they still could do with some experience.

Awesome, Outstanding, Incredible, Dominant, and THE BEST! You can't determine who is the better team by who beat who or by who is number one in the conference...It's who gets the job done in a game, and Duke has done a spectular job @ getting the job done. I was nervous about this basketball season @ first, but I have developed faith in my DUKE BLUE DEVILS> and you can tell with every game they play that they have developed that same kind of faith in themselves and in their teammates! Duke is AWESOME and I take it as a priviledge to watch them! >DUKE BLUE DEVILS!<

YES tonite we showed our tru skills! this is why i love duke they stuck to it blew past paul and levy and williams and became victorious!! by ten props to my fav team and jj redick for beating his season high is scoring!

Forget the game, ya'll beat us fair and square. Props. I want to address something else: I ask all dook fans who deny that the crazies are posers, and deny the local/yankee fan thing (I know some of you are local), but anyway............Go to espn.com's college basketball page, bring up the story of the game, scroll down, and on your right in 'related articles' there is a piece titled 'Crazy Dance', or it might say 'Crazies don't measure up.' Check it out, and you might begin to understand where some of our claims come from, and why most locals don't like you. Trust me, it's not because you're good. Again, good game last night. Much respect to the team. This has nothing to do with that. This about the character of the parties involved. FYI for those who aren't going to read it, most dook students think the crazies are poser dorks - dook students think that, mind you. And it brings up another good point: What does Jawad Williams or another Tarheel care if you're wearing a bow tie and sunglasses, and does he even notice? In other words, they might as well be performing on Broadway - they don't know anything about basketball. They just know when they arrive at Durham from Vermont or wherever, that they're crazy now. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!** **************************************** *********************WOW, we're psychic! Aren't we guys? Gee WIZ golly condor, that's exactly what we thought they said, isn't it? NOTHING! That was lamost as big an upset as them beating us..........by 1, when they played awesome and we played our worst game. BY 1!- and we played as poor as we possibly could and they played perfect. HA HA ! How did Carolina do in Blacksburg? - won by 34! You suck, you just hadn't been exposed before tonight. Lucky bitches - I wish we got to play VA TECH twice.

This is the most overated team in the nation. They only have 3 titles! They suck worse than Carolina. Im glad they make the tourny every yr because its fun watching them choke each march.

Ok, where do I start? First about this arrogant comment Duke is the crap on our Nikes and our current squad will prove it soon Prove what? That your team is a bunch of losers that lost to Duke (who is a seventh ranked team while UNC was second by the way!) You seemed to have proved everything last night huh. Where are all the trash talking UNC fans now? Off hiding, hanging their heads because they can't stand that Duke beat them (like they do every year, they really should get used to it!) I was laughing my head off after the game when Duke won, because I thought of those UNC fans staring at the TV, mouths wide open in shock. How could we lose to Duke? They were thinking. Simple question with a simple answer. DUKE PLAYED BETTER! Face it. Where was Rashaad McCants? The supposed best player in the NCAA? He had all of what? Nine points? And he played almost all game. DeMarcis Nelson, Duke's freshman, only played half a game and still had 16 points! (more than McCants and the great Marvin Williams) This is what I love about Duke Basketball proving the millions of people who are against us wrong! When JJ Redick hit that first three of the game, I thought to myself This is another reason I love Duke bball. They can do things like that. That shot set the tempo for the whole game, and Carolina never could quite catch up. Despite the valiant efforts of their oh so great players. Props to Sean May though. He had a good game. I was thinking last night about all the Duke haters last night and the insults they continually throw at us. Frankly, I'm surprised some of theses UNC fans can actually put together a cohesive sentence(Get out your dictionary) I give you major props for that. And at least your insults are classier than Maryland's F*** you JJ! taunts. Unoriginal yes, but classy. Duke basketball is and always will be great. I'm tired of repeatedly throwing stats out at Carolina fans. Obviously they don't understand them, otherwise they wouldn't be talking crap about us. Take the stats from last nights game for example. Duke had 17 steals and UNC had 4. UNC had 21 turnovers and Duke had 7. Also look at the scoreboard. Who came up on the top at the end? Point proven.

I don't know about some of these other teams rated higher but Im gunna have to start watching their games I guess.. Maybe the west coast has something for us back here in the east. Ya'll know Im a hometown NC girl though so, Im a big time duke fan. Not sure why people are so against the devils... Anyway..this year is looking good...an experienced starting lineup...but not a very deep bench.. but Melchioni,MCclure and Dockery are doing a good job of stepping up when they get time off the bench... The landlord is havin his way in the post and he's doing a great job of avoiding fouls which is important this season. Shav is playing good D but...shooting ability is suffering...Now that he's bacl from mono though Im seeing a spark in him which is promising. Ewing is a great senior leader but needs to be more vocal...and JJ Redick is coming on strong this year great ppg numbers and his stats are up all around.(My favorite player of the year by far) Im looking forward to this year...its not the best team as far as depth I have seen but they are very capable of winning the ACC they just need to keep up the discipline and work with the bench in case of foul trouble. Im never disappointed in a DUKE season!

Duke absolutely makes me sick to my stomach. UNC is by far a much historic team and always will be. Just look at the pros that have came from UNC... then look at Dukes. AND... if I was on Duke I would tell J.J. Redick to PASS THE BALL or else!!! Ball hog.

I hate Duke more than any college basketball team. Everyone kisses their ass, especially CBS and Dick Vitale. They didn't win anything from 1993-2000, and the way they were treated was as if they had won a championship every one of those seasons. Nothing better than when they get eliminated in the tournament.

I hate Duke and root against them in every game, but to give the Devils their due, a great team. Even if the university is populated primarily by spoiled rich kids.

Duke has a great team and I am sad they lost to UCONN!!!!!! J.J. Rock's and that is how it should stay. I loved Duke Basketball for a long time. I will always be a Duke Fan!!!!And I am a Duke Cheerleader!! GO DUKE!!!! GO J.J. Redick!!!!! I love J.J. Redick!!

Does anybody else get the vibe that Cameron Crazies never saw or cared to see a basketball game in their lives before moving to North Carolina? And still, it's all about theatrics and being crazy when they are at the games, not basketball. These people don't know basketball - if you watch them close, they always have to wait for the players' reactions to know what the ref called. They always have a confused look on their faces, followed by either a loud cheer or boo. And the Dean Dome isn't as loud for two reasons: 1/ it is twice the size of Cameron, making it more cavernous, and sounding like an NBA game rather than a high school game 2/ we are watching the game closely like people who love the game do, not putting on a goofy little show. You people know as much about basketball as Bush Jr. knows about being a good president. And we don't call you ugly as a comeback or to get under your skin - we honestly believe that Dookies are quite literally unpleasant to look at. Now go make fun of poor people, or play polo or whatever it is that you do.

Pardon me, but do you have any Grey Poupon? I hate to sound juvenile, but you all are truly ugly. Not even kidding. I'm not even trying to dis you. Seriously, from the bottom of my heart, people aren't just trying to hate on you - You are quite literally ugly. All of you. Well, most of you - I saw a Dook girl on Elimidate one time that wasn't too bad. I guess they don't quite make 'em in New Jersey like they do in the Carolinas, huh? UPDATE: New graduation rates for student athletes came out today. Dook did not do as well as one might expect a bunch of white bread, rich, precious lil intellectual angels to do. Needless to say, Carolina guys that leave early always return to get their diplomas, thus once again giving the boys in Carolina blue the highest graduation rate in the country. Take that , Poindexters!

Bunch of rich boy snobs!!

I can't speak for the rest of the nation, but people in NC don't hate Dook because they are good, citizens of this state hate them because: 1. they are white collar 2. their fans move to the triangle from Vermont, New jersey, etc. and immediately think they are a part of this thing of ours........NC fans are born with it in their blood. 3.any crazy would so obviously get their asses stomped in a barfight in Charlotte, Wilmington, etc., and yet they think they are crazy badasses when all us locals know they are calculus nerds. 4. Carolina is called whiners by them, when we remeber Dook demanding apologies from our boys for scaring coach K's wife. 5. they have this swagger like they are totally out of Carolina's league, while their all time record against us is 94 - 123!6.to put it simply, this is our territory, and they are foreign hords............they are who they are because we were here first( think about it). Dook is the crap on our Nikes and our current squad will prove it soon! I don't understand how they lure recruits. If I were some recruit from Chicago or Charlotte that visited Dook, I would see the volvos , the sweaters tied around the necks, the ugly nerdy chicks, the republican atmosphere, and say, hey, Carolina had students who look and think like me, the girls were hot, players who go here turn into stars, folks here are down to earth........know what I mean? Anyway, trust me Dookies, folks in this state don't hate you because you are good. (if that were the case, why did we still hate you in '95 when you sucked?)

Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, Saabs, ugly desperate chicks, ..........not really my style.

Go play Dungeons and Dragons.

Plays a cup cake non-conference scheduel every year (1 or 2 big games all at cameron indoors, or a neutural site) and before 1985 this program was an afterthought, yet since then they have been good, but over-rated.

#'S SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES AT THIS GREAT ACADEMIC INSTITUTION! WHAT THEY HAVE ACCOMPLISHED IN THE LAST 20 YEARS IS INCREDIBLE AND THAT WAS AFTER THE TRADITION HAD ALREADY STARTED!

I don't think there is even an argument for the best team since 1990. Anyone who says otherwise is just a UNC fan. I don't know how these teams haven't one more championships.

Why do people always criticzes Duke's pros. Think about former all-stars Grant Hill and Elton Brand. What about Corey Maggette and Carlos Boozer? Jay Williams still has a chance to be big. Duke is a great school with the best coach.

duke? ha. more like PUKE. I hate this team more than any other team. they are so overrated and are favored in all the games. if youre a basketball player and sign with duke, you just might as well slap a big ol' sign on your forehead saying, LOSER! Because if you play for duke, you fail at life. if you even like duke, you fail at life.

Duke is by far the best team in the nation with the best players that always give it their all, all the time! Duke Rocks!

i hate duke almost as much as i hate missouri...almost

They suck ass. Coach K is a whining little b****. get all the calls and are overrated. Play terrible for having so many great players.

OVERRATED, you can talk loud about achievements in college level (yes, because guess how many all american high school signed to DUKE). yet speak softly about DUKE alumni in NBA (tell me about greatest dukies: laettner, hill, hurley, ferry, jay williams)..... thanks to coach K obviously for creating such beautiful program.... but they're good and valid in college level only, not beyond.

The greatest basketball team ever and also the best coach ever. Stanford and St. Joes are not that good of teams they play crappy teams that make them look good. Coach K forever

Don't be fooled, their students only wish they could go to an ivy league school. they are a bunch of self-righteous nerds.

Espn darlings,and refs favor them in ever game.When coach k leaves they will be just another team.

Best team in the best conference.
