Dook is a bunch of dirty little bastards

[AmerikazMost]

I wish Roy would have let Hansbrough tear Henderson in half. It was a fucking cheap shot.

Proof UNC has more talent and more CLASS than Dook.

The better team won... again.

I figured you would talk about this. if you wouldnt have mentioned it, i was gonna make the thread.


i caught the end of the game. Hansbrough took a nasty hit. that would have been me id been waiting for him by the team bus and whooped his ass. Tyler was bleeding like a fountain.

you hear Billy Packer at the end. "That was a bad call, Henderson shouldnt have been Ejected". sucking Coach K's dick there aint he.

Im glad hes gonna be supsended. I hope Duke gets somebody like Winthrop in the first round. and Duke gets beat. i figure they should get a 6th seed????

U are right there AM.. UNC has way more class than Dook.

No way Dook gets a 6th seed. The media rides their dick too much. If they lose in the first game of the tourney, I say they get a 5th.

as much as you guys are gonna say i am biased for duke, i gotta say that i truly believed that was an accident. if it looked dirty i would admit it. when i watch sports, although i might be rooting for a team, i will admit when even my team does something cheap or dirty and, although i can understand why they thought it was intentional/dirty, i deep down don't think it was. if the jerseys were reversed, i would still be giving the player the benefit of the doubt, even though i hate UNC.

if you watch the replay, henderson is in the air waiting to block the shot. the shot happened to be blocked from behind, so he really couldn't do anything. people say he had plenty of time to change what he was doing, but isn't if funny how it seems like there's more time in slow motion?

i understand why he was suspended: an ejection leads to an automatic one-game suspension. but he never should've been ejected. and i think the ACC (the great conference that they are) pussied out by suspending him for the whole ACC tourney.

also, AM, since when does Duke not have class? not saying that UNC doesn't, but that doesn't mean Duke has no class. there are only a minimal amount of classless duke memories that I have, one being Laetner stomping on dude back in the day.

one last thing. i don't condone rough fouls or thuggery or anything (ie. Cheney sending out his goons, Nate Robinson starting a melee), but what the hell did UNC have their big players in there for with 14 seconds left up by a dozen (Duke, too). even so, why didn't they try to run the clock out rather than the score up. Talk about classless. like i said, i don't condone any rough play such as henderson's if it was intentional, but they don't need to be rubbing shit in either.

AM, you're right, the better team did win. nobody, even a duke fan as big as myself, actually expected duke to win.

his arm never extended to block the shot. this tells me one of two things:

1) he intended to hit tyler from the beginning

2) he was able to adapt to the change on the spot and not extend his arm. so if he can react that quickly to going after the ball, why couldn't he react that quickly to stop his elbow from driving into tyler's nose?

I tend to go with #2. I think he was coming in there hard, and when he couldn't take his frustration out on the ball, he took it out on tyler.

i understand why he was suspended: an ejection leads to an automatic one-game suspension. but he never should've been ejected. and i think the ACC (the great conference that they are) pussied out by suspending him for the whole ACC tourney.

to my knowledge, he was only suspended for one game..

also, AM, since when does Duke not have class? not saying that UNC doesn't, but that doesn't mean Duke has no class. there are only a minimal amount of classless duke memories that I have, one being Laetner stomping on dude back in the day.

Laettner, the Lacrosse team, Coach K and Henderson to name a few. Coach K's alway's been a self-righteous prick, playing himself up at every opportunity. I love how he decided to take a jab at Roy Williams after the game too.

Also, just to prove that it's Dook that has no class and not just a select few, here's a little piece of information. Being just 15 minutes away, I know some people at Dook. My girlfriend's best friend goes there. He's actually an alright guy. He has a little bit of that "I'm better than you attitude," but otherwise an alright guy. He told me this the night of the game...

All of the Dook students packed into Cameron Indoor to watch the game on the jumbotrons. When Henderson hit Tyler, the whole crowd erupted into applause and cheers. Classless? I think so.

one last thing. i don't condone rough fouls or thuggery or anything (ie. Cheney sending out his goons, Nate Robinson starting a melee), but what the hell did UNC have their big players in there for with 14 seconds left up by a dozen (Duke, too). even so, why didn't they try to run the clock out rather than the score up.

Because the game wasn't over? UNC-Dook games don't end until the buzzer sounds. UNC came back in one game years back from 8 down with less than half a minute left.

This game was also not over. Dook was still trying to come back. Coach K had called three timeouts just before the incident. They had just hit two threes. Anything could've happened.

There was a sub ready to come in for Tyler, but he couldn't because Tyler had to shoot the free throws.

 

[FroDawgg]

you're right about the suspension thing. i received faulty information that i should have checked first.

and i understand your points on the actual foul, but i still stand by my belief that it was unintentional. i give everyone the benefit of the doubt, even opposing players. now if, somewhere down the road, it comes out that it was intentional, then my bad. but unless there's a shadow of doubt or unmistakable proof, i gotta believe it was unintentional (excessive, like some people have pointed out, yes, but unintentional).

oh, your girl's best friend goes to duke? better watch out jk.

peace.

Henderson did it intentionally. hes been frustrated that Duke has had a Shitty Season.

Glad to see Tyler will be playing in the ACC Tournament. he'll have to wear a mask for the remainder of the season.

Hansbrough: No bad blood with Duke player

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) - Tyler Hansbrough insists there's no bad blood between him and Duke's Gerald Henderson, who broke the North Carolina star's nose in the closing seconds of the latest Tobacco Road showdown.

Hansbrough said Tuesday he hasn't heard from Henderson, who flagrantly fouled him with 14.5 seconds left in No. 8 North Carolina's 86-72 victory Sunday.

"I was upset when it happened," Hansbrough said in his first public comments on the subject. "I don't think he did it intentionally. I don't really like talking about it because I really don't know how to handle the situation, but I'm fine right now. I feel fine. I was kind of shocked my nose was broken. ... I just thought it was a really bad nosebleed."

Hansbrough had an inch-long bruise below his right eye Tuesday, but otherwise showed no visible signs of the fracture. He was hurt shortly after rebounding his own missed free throw late in the game and going back up for a putback.

Henderson leaped to block the shot and after the ball left Hansbrough's hand, Henderson's right elbow appeared to strike the Tar Heels' center in the nose, sending him crumpling to the floor.

Asked if it was the hardest hit of his life, Hansbrough deadpanned: "Are we talking about on the court or off?"

Blood poured down Hansbrough's face and onto his lip, his chin and the court, and he had to be restrained from Duke players as he went to the locker room. Henderson was ejected and received an automatic one-game suspension for Duke's ACC tournament opener Thursday against North Carolina State.

Henderson and Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski have repeatedly said there was no intent to injure, and ACC officials consider the matter closed.

"We all know the kind of person and player Gerald is, and we have his back on it. We know he didn't do it on purpose," Duke's DeMarcus Nelson said. "At the same time, sometimes unfortunate things happen. It's out of our control, so we have to roll with the decision that was made."

North Carolina freshman guard Wayne Ellington played with Henderson in high school and is a close friend.

"I've been getting all types of questions about it," Ellington said. "It's an unfortunate situation to have happen, and basically we're trying to move on from it."

Earlier in the game, Hansbrough was hit by an elbow that loosened one of his upper teeth. He might wear a custom-made mask when the top-seeded Tar Heels begin Atlantic Coast Conference tournament play Friday.

"I'm not too crazy about the mask," Hansbrough said. "It's one of those things where they strongly recommend me wearing it. But at the same time, I have no problem taking it off."

Hansbrough is a consistent scoring threat who leads the team and ranks among the ACC's leaders with averages of 18.8 points and 8.0 rebounds. He also leads the conference with 259 free throws attempted.

"It's not that he's always looking for contact. It's that he's not a jump-over-the-moon guy," coach Roy Williams said. "He has a tremendous focus, the best focus I've ever seen about making the basket. A lot of guys will try to draw contact and throw it up. Tyler goes in reverse — he tries to make the basket and oh, yeah, I got fouled, too."

I dont think it was done intentionally. Most UNC fans, which I am, probably think it was but I dont see it that way. Whatever though, its over, no bad blood and what not.
