Duke is in serious trouble this year; I would be surprised if we make it to .500 in the ACC.

Starters:

Greg Paulus (turnover)
Jon Scheyer (hot 'n' cold)
DeMarcus Nelson (will the light go on?)
Gerald Henderson (will he play better as the villain?)
Lance Thomas / Zoubek / Freshman Big Man ? (ugh)

Does not look promising.

They'll do better than people think. They were better than their record last year.

You dont hate Duke enough if you are typing this. And obv this guy is compared to Dirk because he is tall, shoots, and is white. The whiter Duke gets, the worse duke gets. I hate Duke, they will suck this year.

True, that was a while ago though. Duke is still living in that time.

Can we have the actual Dirk, instead of some giant goofy white guy who kinda looks like Dirk?

Drew Neitzel is going to make it rain on hoes this year.

Unfortunately nobody on Michigan can do the same.

Rautins has a torn ACL, he didn't leave. As for my school, ND should be pretty good this year, the backcourt should be very good with Tory Jackson and McAlarney, both with point guard ball handling ability and Jackson the slasher and McAlarney the shooter. Kurz and Harangody should be good down low, I'm excited to see how much Harangody progressed from his freshman year, if he developed a left hand he'd be pretty tough to stop. We'll probably score a lot of points and give up a lot of points, the schedule is a joke until conference play, and the Big East should be tougher this year, so who knows how things will shake out, but I hope to at least make the tournament again and try not to have the worst shooting game of the year in the first round.

Unfortunately Harongody tore a ligament in his right thumb and could miss the first six games. Obviously they will be pretty soft though. It would be great if this team could stop losing games it SHOULD win. I would say that, despite the toughness of the conference schedule, they have the talent level to make the tournament. It would be nice to not have to sweat the run in though like is usual.
