always want the W, but this isn't the worst thing in the world

I doubt they would have beat UNC anyways, but I really despise ND
We are pooped anyway. Not going to blame this one on officials. We don't have the bodies. We are bricking threes and they have fresh guys nailing them.
Here, have a tissue. Seriously, first round exit? Why the dramatics?
When did you see them give up?
Don't mind losing but the way we lost is horrible. Up 16 and can't win? Oh well. Rest up and get ready for the big dance.
Coach K was horrible in the 2nd half Jeter and Obi looked good in the 1st half but instead keeps Plumlee in the game, then instead of having 2 bigs in the game to help rebounding we allow ND to just keep getting tip backs and easy baskets. I hate playing 2-3 zone because it gives up easy baskets near the rim.
Post quality always goes down when Duke loses. I'll let this die down before I return.
This team has given up easy baskets near the rim all year. I can hardly watch most games because of it. Unreal how we cave every single time we play ND.
Early out in the tourney but hope next year is better.
Who said I'm blaming it on the officials? The officiating has been garbage against us entirely the last few minutes and ot of the game. Should've won this game on Allen fts honestly to end the game. Either way i feel like the loss goes squarely on the coaches. Stall ball with 12-15 minutes left is bull and then the questionable substitutions out there. We completely went away from our hot hand of mixing up the offense and playing great defense. Got lazy and decided to just chuck up them threes. Smh
I agree with this. When we went to stall ball because of foul trouble it took the life out of the offense
yep, talk about some knee jerk reactions. The team was playing twice in 24 hours against a fresh team, the boys gassed out, simple as that. The big dance is against teams with the same number of days of rest, not as debilitating for a team with a short bench.
I figured this team was a 2nd round team, maybe sweet 16. I'm not too disappointed in how the season has shaped up to this point, although this loss does sting. At least this team will be in a tourney starting with "NCAA," not NIT like our UK and UNC friends experienced in 2013 and 2010 respectively
Why I never like putting it on any one but the coaches having them go to stall ball just killed our momentum
No dramatics DukeDenver. I've been watching Duke for 24 years. Realistically from what I have seen all season, this is a team that is prime for a first round exit. I really hope I'm not right but from what I see there is a high chance. I still love this team but be ready for a one and done in the tourney.
I don't normally say this but blowing that huge lead really disgusted me. I'm just disappointed.
