12: Making predictions about a freshmen-dominated team is very dicey business. They are playing as well as any team in the country right now (last four games: 24 point win, 24 point win, 45 point win, beat the #1 team in the country on their home floor on senior night), but it could all vanish instantly.
I think Duke's in trouble. Krzyzewski never developed his bench this season - they only go seven deep - and those guys look worn out.
There's always the hope, as I've said before, that the team plane will crash, and that the survivors will have to eat their dead but buff friends, and that UNC will unfortunately have to forfeit the remaining games.
Actually, it's not as good as that. UNC could continue to play with the surviving cannibals, plus enough walk-ons to fill the roster. Not on the substance list.

Interesting. I'm feeling an obligation to care about the ACC, but I just can't rise to it. I'm still more of an Illinois fan, but not enough of one to know how they're doing.
"If you missed the UNC-Duke game, not only is UNC for real, but Tyler Hansbrough is the first 2005-06 college player who makes me feel, "All right, there's a guy who's a mortal lock to be an excellent pro." (Simmons.)
Thanks, Tim. Hansbrough is the first freshman in ACC history to be a unanimous first team All-ACC pick, and that covers an awful lot of standout rookies. He's an absolute monster in the paint. This weekend can't get here quickly enough.
Am I the only one who saw the title and immediately thought it was about this Duke?

Cripes. I forgot the game was on. I can't believe UNC won - wow!
Maybe the next few years won't be so bad, after all.

JJ Redick 5-21 from the field, 1-9 from 3. On his senior day, on his home court. It must burn.
Nobody wants Carolina in their bracket. And Tim, I'm ashamed of you. Forgot?
HEEEEEEEEEEEELS!!!! Woo hook 'em! If I were any more Becks-style, I'd be vomiting.

Too bad reddick couldn't even hit the backboard last night. If he had, it might have gone the other way.
Any predictions for the heels for the rest of March, a'p?

Oh my. Oh my.
I have disturbingly little recollection of posting 5/6.
Starting to get that sinking feeling that I must have made an incredible ass of myself last night.

You have gone into the Unfogged pantheon, Urple. Becks-Urple blogging is the new official designation.
