Hey there

[NewOrlnsDukie]

Just wanted to check in. From the look of the "Alabama St plays" thread, it looks like I may not be the most welcome visitor to frequent these boards.

Nonetheless, I just wanted to hear your thoughts on the game -- matchups, strengths of your team, style of play, etc. We've limped our way into the tourney, w/ 4 of our losses in the last 10 games, and a couple of our starters are a tad banged up. Redick has gone into a major slump, and we've had some trouble holding on to leads.

Granted, given Duke's media coverage, you probably knew all that.

I await your assault.

BTW, how do I get posting access to the Hornet's Nest?

I stepped in New Orleans Dukie one year at Mardi Gras. I just left those shoes on the side of the road on the way home.

 

[NewOrlnsDukie]

I didn't appreciate being left by the side of the road

Now, to the Hornets out there -- It seems like your starting 5 is quite small, but it looks like Oliver is essentially a starter anyway. Likely that Oliver and/or Russell will start? Have you guys played any zone this yr vs taller teams, or is it just straight up man no matter what?

Dukie*snicker*Oliver and Russell both come off the bench.We run same defense no matter who we play.

Uuuh Dukie....rest your starters for this one. AlaState is not known for scoring more than 10 points in a half when they go to the NCAA tourney...

Ahh well . . .

Have a good one folks. Good luck in the tourney.

Dukie,
We play both defenses.
Short lineup, but Oliver has a 60" vertical. LOL
(back in my prime, I had a 61" )
