Duke point guard Kyrie Irving "doubtful" for Bradley game

[ph]

You know -- after watching the game on TV I don't think I would have known Irving was injured..

OMG when did that happen.

Hopefully the players were able to make it back to their apartments without his excellent navigation skills.

"There was just no continuity," Singler said. "We weren't hitting our posts [inside]. It was different without Kyrie out on the court. ....."

Try playing without 3 of your best 4 players Kyle! Dookies!

[Da Coach]

Not silly at all. Maybe you didn't see the game. What blew the game open was the 3-pointers by Andre Dawkins, who started in place of Irving. After Duke pulled out to a huge lead with his flurry of 3-pointers, the game was never the same, and Bradley stood no chance of staying close. Maybe if Irving starts and plays, the game evolves differently. I never said Irving wasn't a great player, only that sometimes things like that happen when a sub gets a chance to start in place of an injured player.

I know they mentioned we had three guys out but my goodness....every trip down the court they said something about KI. ANd how many flippin times do I have to see him on the sidelines.

How about a side by side comparison showing our 3 guys and stats and there 1 guy and his stats.

We were missing guys that have played well oer 100 games while KI has played how many ?

We too were missing out pg AND his backup......

I guess its Duke...its ACC bias....its just the way it works. But its also aggravating.

Its the JL curse....its reached Duke.

Watch out DRU, some folks here don't think much of 'curses' !

Still think BU has to offer some sacrifice to the basketball gods to exorcise the injury deamons who have plagued BU MBB in the JL era.
And not just offer billy goat sandwhiches at the PCC concession stands.
Perhaps:

• Have Willie York perform some sort of voo-doo burning of DG's old BU uniform outside the PCC
• BU host a Molinari Appreciation Day event
• Place a memorial to Judge McDade and Wayne McClain in the lobby of the new BU on campus facility

Can anyone else think of something? Anything!

The curse is because the alumni association president does not wear red.

Good stuff...

For the record its NOT a shot at JL by me...I sincerely feel bad for the guy.

[AZ BU Fan]

Good stuff...

Am I blushing?

[dogsrus]

And when did this happen.....KI OUT for Duke......no way.

I think ill have to make sure every future game thread mentions:
This just in, Kyle Irving will not be playing for .....

Neither will "Kyrie"....

[dogsrus]

I wish I would pay attention OR that ESPN announcers would make it clear.....so you guys are saying Kyrie did NOT play.

Wow.....perhaps they could mention it again and again and again on sports center...PTI and at the very least show him on the sidelines about 2 dozen times during the game.

So he was out huh.....

[ph]

Neither will "Kyrie"....

Oops

So, if Kyrie is out, will they be starting Andre Dawson?

Here is a breaking new flash from this morning's Winston-Salem Journal Newspaper-
Hurt Toe leaves Devils worried

But 3 starters out of the lineup is not something we will allow anyone to mention as an excuse for Bradley.

[TheAsianSensation]

It's the breakout player on the #1 team in the country. Of course everyone and their mother is going to repeat it over and over on ESPN.

If Duke was playing, say, St Louis the other night, do we even care how much ESPN is reporting it? Be honest.
