Rysheed Jordan

Unsung hero of the game was amile Jefferson.  His d on Kaminsky esp when okafor and Winslow were out was awesome.

Grayson Allen is a MCDs but he has looked absolutely clueless at times (and flashes of greatness at others). He and tyus jones have large cojones.

I get the Duke and coach K hatred Truat me, but gotta respect coach K.  He has the faith in guys like Plumlee jefferson and Allen at key junctures of the game to sit okafor and Winslow down 9 and slowly bring them back.  Duke didn't fold - they played as tough as confident as ever.  He is the best teacher and leader of men in the game and On a johnnies note, Chris Mullin names him as someone he wants to emulate.  I see a lot of those same qualities in chris that coach k has.  Great couple weeks for me in the basketball world.

Ha stole my thunder. Allen was a MCD's all-american - for all the KY talk, Duke had 8 on its roster. Allen played well in some games down the stretch and in the tourney. Not sure why he didn't get more burn earlier in the year. He saved that game last night when Wisconsin started pulling away and then Jones took them home.

Cant believe you all are on this thread, reading twitters, etc. while the championship game is going on.  Im starting to believe most of you are not true hoop fans.  Cant be on your computer and concentrate on a game.  Im happy Jordan is apparently coming back bujt I could wait till 11:30 to check it out.  Did not hang around to watch the aftermath, hate Duke, it's vulgar coach, their preppy foulmouthed students with their sense of entitlement, and everything about the program.  Was a good game for those of you who missed it.  Too bad about the outcome, Wisc plays ball the way it should be played but did not have the athletic talent to pull it off, not to mention the ref job they fell victim to

Vulgar Coach..?









Indeed, his language with the refs and the way he rides them is inexcusable but he gets away with it, particularly at Cameron, because of the Duke Mystique, largely a creation of Dick Vitale.  Doing it the "Duke way" in reality consists of a Vulgar coach who bends the rules.  What happened to the Duke way which was 4 year students.  He has more early outs than anyone, Ky only competes recently. THe student body, "The Cameron Crazies"  are the most obnoxious in the land and the administration gives them free rein.  Disgraceful, particularly for an academically elite institution.  FOR DETAILS GOOGLE THE "ANTI-DUKE MANIFESTO".  I Tried to attach it but it exceeded the size limits

Duke fans are the absolute worst in the game. But Coach K vulgar? You can call him a lot of names, but it was Ryan who acted like a sore loser. When Okafor and Winslow went down Duke had a scrub that I'd never even heard of step up, and that's the definition of a team. Wisconsin rushed and forced shots and stopped running a patient methodical offense. That's why they lost.

Yeah that's why

On a serious note, yea, the refs were horrible.  Otherwise known as, the refs were as expected for a Duke game.  Other than that, was a great game of basketball.

Officiating was horrible during the entire Final Four

Refereeing Rysheed is difficult.

I am intrigued to see if somehow, some way,what Rysheed can do if he doesn't have any distractions next year.

Jordan has a lot better size/athleticism/quickness than Barkley & Cook.  They were natural point guards.  Jordan played quite well with the ball in his hands, esp in 2013-2014.  He also showed an ability to set up Obekpa that no one else on the team displayed.

Does it make him a point guard?  We obviously need to recruit one for this year.  Mostly all these draft picks are projects of one sort or other though, & Jordan was getting past people at will late in the season, & is probably viewed as having very good potential as a combo player.

I agree that Jordan has a ton of natural ability, but his basketball IQ isn't comparable to Barkley and Cook. They made their teammates look as good as they ever would. Jordan has the ability to break down his defender and go strong to the basket, and he does that quite a bit. But we need him to either run the offense or play off the ball. If he's the point, and he's looking for his own shot constantly with Pointer and Harrison on the floor, what's going to happen when he's got Balamou and Jones to throw it to?
