***DUKE VS APPALACHIAN STATE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[krzyzewskiville]

This is our last tune-up before we hit the court against a struggling Michigan State and Tom Izzo. Not that I'm looking past today, just being realistic. And we all know despite Michgan State's bump in the road early in the season, Izzo will have his squad ready.

Ok - back to today. The Mountaineers come into today's game 2-2 but its two losses were fairly respectable. Tennessee beat them by nine and Davidson by 12. This team has the capability to fight especially as we continue to play shorthanded.

None the less, Duke needs to use this game to prepare for MSU on Tuesday and keep the turnovers down. If we can continue to pile up wins before the big three get healthy it will also be a huge shot of adrenaline.

Today's game is scheduled for a noon tip est and will actually air on Directv and other platforms on the regional channels.

Duke - 95
App St. - 62

My hope on the freshmen: Harry plays. Bolden and Tatum at least warm up.

My prediction: They're in suits again.

 

[wswartz34]

Giles and Bolden are warming up. No Tatum yet. Only 6 players out there

Keep us posted if it looks like they're gonna play or not.

[wswartz34]

I think Tatum is almost certainly not playing. In his jersey but not stretching or shooting with the team.

 

[Showenuff]

I did notice one thing. Kville has not missed a single game thread post this year! Thanks ol buddy!!

 

[wswartz34]

Giles is moving well

 

[wswartz34]

Bolden in big man drills with everyone

 

[wswartz34]

 

[wswartz34]

For the record I am just on twitter, not at the game.

 

[wswartz34]

Giles with a 360 dunk in warmups. If that doesn't mean he is ready I don't know what does.

 

[wswartz34]

Tatum not participating, but HG and Bolden are.

 

[wswartz34]

Also sorry for hijacking the gameday thread with freshman updates. If mods want me to stop I will.

Hope they don't make you stop.

[wswartz34]

Same starting 5 as Wednesday. Doesn't mean no freshman though

 

[wswartz34]

25 minutes til tip and HG and Ques still warming up

 

[wswartz34]

I honestly don't think we will know if they are playing til the game starts. They are still with the team

Anyone know where I could stream the game online? WatchESPN blacked out the game in my area.

 

[agd10]

Thanks! Just found it.

 

[dbav]

That's how you start a God Damned game! Keep fighting fellas. Keep playing Grayson.

 

[dukehokie]

Cameron will lose it's mind if Harry steps on the floor after a start like this.

 

[Jnood]

Now, this is fun!

 

[skysdad]

Blacked out here. OFC

 

[Get Nasty]

Saying they're all not even supposed to play even vs msu.... very confusing

 

[MyDudeG_rivals]

Was really hoping to see Giles get some minutes today as a warmup for Michigan St.

 

[Dukesince90]

I'm like what I'm seeing from Big Vrank! I like his position under the boards, would like to see him set his feet a little wider when setting screens. Damn he's big.
