 Everyone knows that Duke's last non-conference loss at home was to Louisville
back in 1983.  But do you know who the only other non-com teams to beat
Duke at home under Coach K are? Hints to follow.

There are three of them.

All three came in the 81-82 and 82-83 seasons.  One was a season-opening
loss.

One of the schools is in North Carolina, one of them in New York and the other
one in Tennessee.

Not true at all.  His best years were his first two.  By his third
year Lou had given his job to Drew and he got to play less and less
until in his senior year he began getting almost NO time until the
very end when he showed he could still do it.  If Lou had given him
a break earlier that team might have done better.  He was a better player
than Keith Smith during their freshmen year.

True, but Tech is also known for their thin bench.  This year is better than most years since we can go with Bryan Hill and Drew Barry.  Daryl Barnes at center scares
me to death.  I think the matchup is Best vs. Hurley at point and Parks vs. Newbill at center.  Tech has been able to hit the boards against weaker teams and shorter teams, they need to do the same against a more experienced and similar sized team.

Look guys, a few more postings like this and I'll begin to believe that we are

show impaired judgment in the last minute).  Hopefully, whoever's guarding

Amusing.  The AP poll has Kentucky's women at #24.

For those who are interested, here are some other men's/women's team
pairs in the AP poll:

Team		Men's Ranking	Women's Ranking
North Carolina	5		21
Georgia Tech	8		23
Iowa		13		 7
Virginia	14		 8
Purdue		17		12

Looks like Iowa wins the best "average ranking" award for the week.

Welcome, Mr. Cheesehead, to Philosophy 101  Reality and Perception.  The 
syllabus before you will explain the topics to be covered this quarter:

(A) Why people see what they want to see.
(B) Traveling.
(C) The three second call.
(D) The coaches box and technical fouls.
(E) Over and back--oh wait he wasn't over yet.  Yes he was!  No he wasn't...
(F) Shooting free throws (Guest Lecturer--The Shaq)
(G) Coaching fundamentals (Guest Lecturer--Lou Henson)

Hopefully, in this class, you will learn some of the following things from
each of these topics--(A)  With a preconcieved bias, most fans think that
all of the calls which are "close" should go their way; (B) It is illegal
to change pivot feet, even if they do let all the pros do it all of the
time; (C) Three second calls take five real seconds; (D)  Technical fouls
are somewhat random, depending on the quality of dinner that the referee
had that evening; (E)  The over and back call cannot be called until the
ball AND the player controlling the ball are both COMPLETELY in front
court.  OK, so you won't learn anything from sections (F) and (G), but they
will be included in the final exam.

You will be required to submit a written 20 page paper for the class, on a
subject approved by the instructor.  Be forewarned, however, that all 
papers in the past which have recieved a passing grade have either been
entitled "Blocking/Charging--A Comparitive Study of the Rules and How They
Are Misjudged by a Fan in the 32nd Row", or "Fouling With The Body Even 
Though It Was Clean Up Top--How To Misjudge a Call from the 32nd Row".

Vandy rebounded w/ UL. So there shouldn't be too much trouble.

>4. UK's 3 point shooting which has been solid

As solid as cheesecloth. UK almost always shoots a lower 3pt percentage
than its opponents. It just shoots scads more. Last game's 50%+ 
was off the charts. UK is supposed to be a better shooting team
this year than last, but they haven't been so far. 

I'd say that the key to Vandy/UK is the number of rats the student
body lets loose on the floor. Last year the refs confiscated 1200
rats prior to the game so UK won. The year before that, over 700
rats made it to center court before order could be restored. Needless
to say, Vandy won. Gave new meaning to the term "gym rat" [I only
made that self-evident joke to prevent Scott Turner from using it
and thinking that I hadn't thought of it first.]

   I didn't want to show any bias, but this is true. Against the Heels, they
   look like they were ready to take on the world. Webber was so psyched up
   for Montross, but against Pauley, he looked his usual self. Against Duke,
   they looked almost intimidate, but against the Heels, they looked
   blodd-thirsty. Teams still get up for UNC, even though Duke is the top dog
   now.

   After watching them beat Kansas too, it looks good for them. I mean, you
   can say KU was overrated (I don't know, because they beat IU in Indiana),
   or that it's too early, but UM played and beat 3 top 20 teams in 3 days,
   in Hawaii too. I think that the play of Juwan Howard is critical to their
   success.

   Mike Dunnagan ----

   ----------------------------------------------
I think you folks are forgetting that KU was without their goliath Greg
Ostertag.  He's not a great player, but he would have had a huge impact
against UM.  Why KU didn't go zone when Pauley started getting in foul 
trouble I just can't figure.  Man to man is their strength but cmon.
Patrick Richey has been a swing player through his career and he had
to cover the strongest inside college player this year one on one.
Pure suicide.  Williams really showed me nothing this game.  It's also
time to bench Rex Walters in favor of Steve Woodbury.  SW is solid in 
every phase whereas RW has been turning over the ball, shooting bricks,
and getting beat defensively.  Woodbury should have been checking Rose
from the tip-off.

The last home non-conf loss was January 12, 1983, and Duke's next

I agree that it was a charge, and that Grant gets away with more than
he should.  I guess we should call it "The Jordan Rule" - the superstar
is rarely called for the charge.
