Ya know for some reason I had it in my head that Redick and Williams were freshmen on the last Duke team that won the championship. I didn't realize it was in 2001. Sucks for them that they never even got them to a championship game, especially with all the "great 1-2 punch" talk we heard for their whole Duke careers.

As a fellow big man, I feel pretty bad for Sheldon Williams he busted his ass on offense the whole tournament, and played pretty good defense only to lose because the rest of his team could not hit anything?:pinch:h:

aka JJ Redick

Thank you for repeating what I've been saying in all these POTY topics. Everyone can hate Duke all they want and call them overrated all they want, but you don't make the sweet-16 four years in a row based on luck and being overhyped.

Hating college players simply because you don't like powerhouses is silly. They're not being paid money, they're not defecting to other teams for stupid reasons (like in a lot of professional leagues), I just don't get it -- how can you hate someone so much for no reason at all... when they're not even your team's rival, you just hate a school being a contender everytime in recent memory?

oh god, why must you always bring this up? we've argued this ad nauseum. are they a contender? are they really? they haven't made it to the final since 2001. you think a contender would be able to do that...

duke is no better than any other of the "top" teams.

Because they are Duke, silly. :D

Seriously some people just hate media darlings like Duke. Take the NE Patriots for example. Before their current run of Super Bowls, they didn't get that much press outside of Boston. When the run started, all we heard was how great the team was. The over saturation of coverage and some of the fans hyperbole just rubs people the wrong way.

Nothing to get upset over.

    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
    • Nvidia GeForce NOW to support 18 more games in June, including Gothic 1 Remake

      Nvidia GeForce NOW to support 18 more games in June, including Gothic 1 Remake by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The start of a new month means Nvidia is also preparing a whole month of additions to its GeForce NOW supported games list. The cloud gaming platform received its first update of June today, revealing games like Jurassic World Evolution 3 and Gothic 1 Remake for the service, while at the same time revealing what's incoming in the next few weeks too. Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Jurassic World Evolution 3 (New release on Xbox, available on Game Pass) Fatekeeper (New release on Steam, available June 2) House Flipper Remastered Collection (New release on Steam, available June 4) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 4) GOALS (New release on Steam, available June 4) Gothic 1 Remake (New release on Steam, available June 5) NTE: Neverness to Everness (Launcher) The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition (Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass) Tomb Raider I-III Remastered (Epic Games Store) XCOM: Enemy Unknown (Steam) Nvidia also plans to add support for these games during the rest of June, though more titles will probably land as weeks go by too: STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expeditions (New release on Steam, June 11) SpaceCraft (New release on Steam, June 11) Denshattack! (New release on Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass, June 17) The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (New release on Steam, June 18) Dark Scrolls (New release on Steam, June 22) Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains (New release on Steam and Ubisoft, June 30) Farever (Steam) FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (Steam) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
