Duke lost! I had another one of those “feelings” all day today. It’s horrible. This six sense stuff is not cool. It’s bad.

This thought hit me today. Coach K. always picks the same kind of people for his team. Awesome shooters, semi good defensive players, and because of those qualities are hyped to the max. No, seriously…not that it’s a bad thing, because someday the combination will work again, just like it did in 2000 and 92.

Take Mike Dunleavy and JJ Redick. Both were/are awesome shooters, both could play defense to a degree, both were hyped beyond their means. And when it was time for them to show there stuff, carry the team to the finals…they both lose in the Sweet Sixteen.

The funny thing is…Redick is probably going to get a high draft pick, just like Dunleavy. Unless, the NBA teams get smart and realize that Redick is just hype, puffed air, and is just another Mike Dunleavy Jr.

Disclaimer: I’m just mad. Extremly mad. I still have some love for Redick….deep down, buried under boulders that are under a 50 foot ocean, smothered in seaweed. And there will be a next year for Duke. There is always a next year.

…Only thing is I’ve been telling myself that for the last 5 years.
