Whelp, as spring follows winter, so too do The Ultimate Truths follow a Duke win over Georgia Tech!!!
* The Ultimate Lord likes Paul Hewitt. Unlike Al Skinner, who looks like a horse. Speaking of Paul, was the mic near him turned WAY up tonight, or is he just very loud?
* Mo' Miller, mo' problems.
* Duke has had some great ally-oop dunks this year, but man we don't seem to have those long, open-floor dribble dunk type of guys.
* ZUNK!!!
* The Ultimate Lord likes Causey. In fact, The Ultimate Lord has a soft spot for most hard working, scrappy, full of heart white boys. Ru-dy, Ru-dy, Ru-dy!
* Remember when Aminu, before he even wore a Wake Forest uniform, took a steaming crap all over Tim Duncan? Hah!
* BTW, because The Ultimate Lord forgot to mention this last game; that tech on Zoubek was CRAP. Zoubek was literally saying to the ref "Do you see what he is saying to me?" and then the ref blew a T and Zoubek thought he had finally been avenged! What a load of total crap.
* Like the behind the back dribble by King, but a missed layup?!?! The Ultimate Lord places the responsibility of King's recent shooting cold streak on K's hit-or-miss style of playing him; shooters need to play and get some consistent touch or they lose that ability to stroke it.
* Diversity of the ACC? Heh, unless this is a story about Duke playing six white guys, The Ultimate Lord will believe it when He sees it. Or maybe it is a story on the racial make-up of teams coached by an African American head coach? Hm nope, that is taboo.
* Seriously? Judgement Week? Next week: ESPN features "Follow the Yellow Brick Road... to March Madness! Week," brought to you by Kay Jewellers; every kiss begins with Kay!
* Heh, the guys in the Bud Light ad REALLY got their cheese up!
* Uh, yeah Gerald's ally-oop was nice, but the one hand shovel pass by Paulus was UNREAL!! Greg has real QB eyes.
* BTW, not only has Greg stayed good at the 3, but he is leading the ACC in assist to turnover. Considering how badly folks were riding him, The Ultimate Lord thinks Greg has answered those questions. Really improved handle, too. It seems like in every game that an announcer says "We got to the arena blah blah early, and Greg Paulus was already here practicing his shot/dribble/free throws." Greg really has been working hard to improve; kudos!
* Heh, anyone notice in the VCAST add that for a billionth of a second you can see that Maryland has beaten UNC 82-80? Good. Not great. But good. Somewhere some Maryland fans are burning stuff!
* Mo G-Tech style athletes, mo' problems.
* Still, 3 > 2.
* (in a thick Scottish accent) We have a Devil down, we have a Devil down!
* How many of you watch ESPN feeds but listen to the radio play-by-play? Apparently K was lighting into King in the huddle.
* College sports >>>>>>>>>>>>> Pro sports
* Gerald is really not going to the midrange pull-up at all.
* Is that Wojo going to Causey's aid at the half? The Ultimate Lord supposes it might be... members of LSWGA DO have to stick together!
* By the by, LSWGA = Little Scrappy White Guys of America. Turns out it wasn't Wojo tho.
* Heh, Dickie V in a Hooters commercial = KLASSIC, BABY! NOW PASS ME SOME BREASTS... SOME CHICKEN BREASTS, BABY!!
* The Ultimate Lord loves video games in TV broadcasts. Wierd that they didn't, you know.. actually USE the video game to show anything, but instead just used it as a background for a graphic.
* Mo Miller, mo aggressiveness?
* Paulus is much better when he looks to score both off the dribble AND off the 3. He started to do that more as the preseason OOC games wound down... maybe he felt more comfortable with the foot?
* Whoa, that Matt Causey eyes-rolled-back look was SCARY. Like, Undertaker scary.
Was he just testing his eyes? Or was that unintentional? The Ultimate Lord has to believe he was just trying to shake the visual cobwebs loose.
* Since the losses started it has felt like Demarcus has been kind of quiet. Stats look about at his average tho, so not sure where that feeling has come from.
* GTech has gotten blown for some real questionable fouls.
* The problem, Len, is you can hurt your team more than you can help?! THAT is the problem? Not that he is risking further injury, but that he could hurt his team?
* Speaking of Causey, the production truck has apparently dedicated a camera to Causey; Causeycam! They are just PRAYING for his head to spin around and spit split-pea soup.
* "Under Coach K, Duke has dominated the ACC like nobody has." Heh. Eat that, you Carolina pansies.
* Great between the legs save by Gerald!
* On the next save, Gerald's foot hit the barricade between court and fans before he threw the ball; does that count of out of bounds, or do you have to touch the FLOOR? Inquiring minds want to know!
* Mo Matt Causey eye rolling, mo ESPN happiness.
* Lance is currently on a plateau; not improving, not getting worse. Or maybe it is a butte. Or a mesa?
* Ahhh, stall ball; thank god!
* "What are we talking about?!" Okay, that argument over the backcourt was wierd enough (not to mention pointless; it wasn't a backcourt because the ball never got to the front court, it is pretty simple) but man, when Stacy chimed in with a "Dude, what the hell are you guys talking about?" it hit a WHOLE NEW PLATEAU (or butte, or mesa) of wierd.
* UNC is going to be a real damn handful.
* Sorry, but The Ultimate Lord is NOT convinced that there has ever been a Duke player more athletic than Gerald. Not Grant, not Corey, not Johnny, not Dhantay.
* BTW, speaking of Gerald, his D is really great.
* Not hitting 3s... is it bad luck, other teams playing good perimeter D, or... the dreaded TIRED LEGS? Inquiring minds want to know!
And finally...
* 799. Congrats, and thanks Coach.
