Give me really good veterans over “great” freshmen any day.

Hype is just that. Hype.

I’m seriously wondering why Carey wasn’t playing at the end of the game? No way K has him on the bench unless he has to.

I think they should have put him in. At least on the offensive end.

But he was really struggling to guard anyone tonight because of the quickness of their big men and he is a liability on the line.

Well this sucks. It would be a little different if it wasn't two games in a row. Not sure what to think.

I can't fathom why Vern wasn't in more down the stretch - some offense for defense substitutions, something. Instead you've got Tre, on a night when he clearly struggled, taking a series of really tough shots. WTF.

He was out because they would just foul him and at best he makes one of two from the stripe.

We came out sleepwalking and got down big early. We shot lousy from three. Way way way too many bad turnovers. We showed panic down the stretch. We lost to good team. Sucks.

5-2 and second in the ACC with lots of basketball left.

Next. Please. Gotta shake off this stink.

I’m sorry to be a realest but this team isn’t good. Everyone needs to level set their expectations. Sweet 16 would be a success.

Coach K hasn’t coached in years. We don’t have a Zion or RJ or Jabari or Grayson or Ingram or Jahlil this year and yet he relies on the players to create their own shots. We pass the ball around the perimeter for 20 seconds and then try to force it into Carey or Tre takes a bad shot.

Tre is overrated. Defensively he’s been getting cooked all year. This has led to Goldwire having to guard the opposing team’s best guard and we all know Goldwire is irrelevant on offense. Offensively, Tre can’t get past his defender for the life of him and has been super turnover prone in big moments.

Carey has one of the lowest defensive IQs I’ve ever seen. Horrible on hedging, switching, post d, help d, everything. He also needs to make free throws and learn to pass out of the double.

Cassius is great but he’s not developed enough to carry such a load.

We don’t have offense on this team. We have huddle and defense.

Enough with 5 out offense, it’s AAU bull. No off ball movement or Carey in post. Bad basketball & coaching.

Boys and girls when this Duke team is playing well as a team we are certainly as good or maybe even better than any team in the country. The problem is we just dont seem to have the offensive consistency needed to win when the game is on the line. Very fustrating to watch when we struggle to score.

If duke shoots just their average 3 point % and doesn’t lay an egg in the first half they win by 10+....Wendell would of also made a difference

People that think tre should leave early... I hope you’re watching. He wouldn’t make an nba roster , love him but he has been getting cooked by good guards

I’m becoming a huge Goldwire fan. He may be limited in talent but man that kid fights hard. I want his and Joey’s passion on the floor.

Will Duke have a first rounder this year? Hard to imagine.
The good news is we were easily a Wendell Moore away from winning the last 2. Bad news is every loss we have had could have been won with the extra number of free throws we missed.

What had Moore showed you? He’s been inefficient offensively and LAZY on defense. He’s had like 2 good games all season.
