Saw this on DBR this morning - a quote from Maryland freshman Cliff Tucker:
I can’t stand Duke. It’s one of the reasons I wanted to come here so I can beat Duke, I already got North Carolina. Duke is next. I cannot stand Duke. I tell people all the time, if they gave me a scholarship and that was my only Division I scholarship, I’d go Division II or something like that. I would never, ever go there. I don’t know what it is, I can’t stand Duke.
Looks like you’ll have to wait a little longer for that one: Duke 93, Maryland 84.
Duke was down by nine at the half, only to turn it around in the second half and win by the same margin. That can only mean one thing in the mind’s of Maryland fans: the officials are to blame. :)
And don’t worry about that scholarship to Duke, Cliff. I think they’re doing just fine without you.
That’s 5-0 in the ACC now. I’m pretty pleased with that start. Next two games are at home, and if they can hold serve, they’ll go to Chapel Hill at 7-0 in the ACC. Unfortunately, they’ll probably leave 7-1. Still, considering last year, this ACC season is off to a fantastic start.
Let’s go Duke.
Freshman. They’re so silly sometimes.
Number Three and I have dubbed Taylor King, “The Marine.”
“You want me to shoot the ball just past the center circle? Yes SIR Coach K!”
It pays not to think too much in that situation.

yeah, i’d never thought about it, but he does look the part. That shot he took late in the first half against VT was not too far past the circle.
