I heard that. Maybe I'll catch the 2nd half if I haven't fallen asleep. I'm hoping Uconn beats cuse in double OT just to annoy all of the locals.

That game means nothing to us. The Carolina/Duke game comes on CBS here. It's blacked out on ESPN.

He is surprisingly good on offense all of the sudden. I'd say about 10 games or so ago it was like 4 vs 5 when they had the ball. Now he's commanding double teams. That is the dude that Sly tried to get our old coaching staff on before anybody had ever heard of him.

This sucks. Does anyone else have DirecTV with ESPN blacked out? There's not another channel I can find with the game on? Anyone? Help? Please?

I found the game, but I don't have any sound.

If ESPN blacks it out and you don't have it locally there should be an ESPN alternative. I don't know about your no sound issue.

Karl Hess is working the game. After the Heels had gone up big, Duke is on a huge run and is up 40-36 with 4:00 in the half.

Just got home from work and it's a great game. Lawson is coming on strong. 80-71 Heels with 6:36 to play.

Wow, Lawson owned Duke in the second half. I can't stand Singler. He looks like a punk... and he deserved that technical.

I'm glad that Singler is carrying on the legacy of having at least one whiny white boy on their team. Steve Wojciechowski trains them well.

Yeah it is normally on the local CBS channel, but it wasn’t last night. I searched my entire guide with no other channel for UNC/Duke. I then started trying other local channels it could be on and found it on PBS which the guide told me had 90210 on :roll: . I think they forgot to turn the sound on until about 10 minutes left in the first.

TV in Virginia is teh suck.

Far too many times a station can't provide the game in HD because something was up with the switch....or the TV guide listings don't match up with what is being shown.

Great game last night. The devils fell right into Roy's trap. They ran themselves to death making their run & then had no legs with about 7 mins to go.

Yeah I failed to mention that I wasn't able to watch in HD because of that... :roll:

Bryson said it was about 100 degrees in Cameron last night. There were people slipping and falling trying to go to the concession stands because of the moisture on the ground from the humidity.

It was probably from all of Paulus' tears flowing on the ground.

whiney? i have watched every game he's played, and whether he gets hit with a bull crap call or something legit, he rarely reacts. rarely smiles. rarely does much of anything. cram it in your cram-hole edward.

lawson destroyed paules and smith in the second half.

It was horrible!!! The good news is I lost about 5 pounds:) The Carolina locker room was worse then the gym was. If you haven't done UNC at Duke its a must! Tickets were actually cheap this year I asked a scalpper an hour before the game how much he was getting and he said about $400 a ticket and that price dropped to about $300 right a tip.... Heels are playing some great ball right now and have turned the corner after the Wake and B.C week a month ago..

Duke really needed to put the press on John Wall a lot earlier than they did. Lawson got wherever he wanted, whenever he wanted. Paulus will give you a bit of a lift with his hustle and his shooting but that's it. He's worthless on the defensive end.

John Wall is not going to Duke. His handlers will not let that happen... Going to Duke would hurt his NBA status, Memphis will be glad to let him come in and be one and done, N.C. State would blow (let me edit this before I get Sly in trouble) to have him be there for one season, it will save Lowe's job at least a year if he can land Wall.... To be honest it really didn't matter when Duke started recruiting him...

If I remember he's gone on record before saying if Duke would have offered earlier, he would have accepted.

It's a moot point though now...with Baylor bringing on some of his people to their staff. It would be a shock if if he didn't land at Baylor. I'm just wishing Duke would have been after him from the get-go.
