If healthy this is one of the most embarrassing efforts I can recall of a duke team.

We are not being very smart with the shot clock. We just don't seem to be mentally into it tonight. OFC

Goes to a consistent point, we are not good enough to simply show up. If we play to our floor we can be beaten, even by some bad teams. I would not want to be in that locker room right now.

This is a Duke team where you simply won’t know on any given night.

Other then size , I do not see where Hurt is any different of player then Baker or Alex. I simply see no separation in the three.

I would say they are getting their shi**y game out of the way, which in turn is making some uncomfortable and fooling the cheats. Other than that, just one of those halves.

When Duke plays poorly they can really stink it up from every position in the floor. This has got to be driving K crazy and it should be waking this sleep walking team up also. How can you play so well on Saturday night and then like this 3 nights later.

Sad, but very true.
BC should be up 12-15. They ran the same thing all half. Spread us out, and why not cause we guard them even if they go to the bathroom, then set a pick for the guy with the ball out front, and drive to the basket.

Hurt is just awful defensively.....but we have multiple guys like that and if they aren't hitting shots they bring near nothing

I don’t know they did beat UNC. The question is could this be another double loss week for Duke.

UNC has the bodies to make the game physical

I’m at a loss with this team. Hurt, as mentioned, isn’t worth the defensive liability. Imo you run two bigs with Jav and just pound the offensive glass. They could still win this game but I do believe expectations should be leveled for this team. A second round exit would not be in any way surprising. The ACC is down and they’re still struggling with teams like BC and Clemson.

Let’s see if they can pour it on in the 2nd half and prove me wrong!

This team is frustrating because there are times where they look amazing and they can beat anyone. Then there are times where they look like they would get beat by some teams at the Y. And that’s in the same game!

I agree that you never know....which ironically, is one of things a lot of us knew coming into the season. We’re really good some nights. Others? Not so much.

Disagree about Hurt, though. He’s much better than Joey and Alex right now, but he still plays like a real freshman. I just wish he was a little more consistent.

With the team of the decade, we were almost a first-round exit last year remember? Duke is not going to blow everybody out or yet have a great 40 min game every time out. I don't think that changes who this team is. FSU barely got past the cheats last night at home. Just can never tell game to game and that's not limited to duke.
