1. Dook just dropped their second ACC game (both teams unranked). Joey O goes on record as saying they are going to be slaughtered in March. I agree 200%. I don't know if Paulus will get to the NCAA to cry like a girl. The only time I like looking at Coach K is when he has a look of utter defeat on his face ( Read more... )
