***DUKE VS LOUISVILLE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

No one on this team should go to the NBA this year. They will get obliterated physically. No one is both physically and mentally tough.
Hurt is the best player but even he is so up and down. If they all stay and actually mature we could become really good in the next two-three years.

We flat out suck no other way to put it...we are so soft it's pathetic...and we have players playing that have no business on the floor
Our guard play is awful, which puts pressure on someone else to score which don't have anyone doing consistently. Roach had 0pts and 2 assists and played major minutes..... Each game its one player....we had only 2 in double figures today....UL had 4, and their guards scored 34 pts. If we cant drive the ball more then we will have to rely on jumpshots and we all know how that goes. I'm afraid this team is missing major pieces and wont get close to the tournament.
Instead of BLM warmup jerseys maybe they need “ Learn how to win” shirts
We have non-NBA ready freshman. A whole team of them. We're very inexperienced. Covid has really set us back. This isn't the team we're used to having. This is the type of team that, if everyone stays, could be very good when everyone is in their junior year.
I don’t think Goldwire or our two sophomores are the problem. Hurt is the only consistent scorer and goldwire and Moore seem to be the only consistent defenders. The problem is our freshmen aren’t as good as expected. Top 50 recruits are not the same as top 10/top 5 recruits. They’ll grow over the next couple years. This just isn’t our year.
Making ****** comments about BLM isn't helping anything right now. That has zero to do with this team's play.
That’s super easy for a coach...it’s not part of team uniform..
K is pandering towards nba talent in the future....if he doesn’t allow teenagers a voice they won’t come here in the future.
He could of simply stated we have a team uniform and that’s not part of it.
But hey at least they will have time to focus on these things because they won’t be playing basketball much longer.
This is going to sound like I'm bashing Hurt and I'm really, really not. Hurt is a consistent scorer and is doing good work. But he shouldn't be our best player. During the off season, when everyone was talking about how Hurt would be our leader and go-to guy, this is the team I was expecting. Again, he's good. But Matthew Hurt isn't that dude. We don't have that guy.
3 good looks to tie at end...well at least we didn't go down double digits...kids out there trying....offense just seems to exert so much just to attempt to score...and defense not to me horrible, but other teams score so easily with good close outs ...hands in face..and etc....we just aren't getting anything easy...on to the next game
Coach K is just human and ordinary now a days. This OAD crap and displaying players for the NBA has caught up with this program
We aren’t good, you’re right. But do you realize how horrible your last part is? “Players playing that have no business.”
By reading your posts, then no one should be playing.
UL #1 was a grad transfer who showed what experience and strength does to the 165lb freshman when they match up. He was great. If we continue the pattern of bringing new players en masse each year this trend will continue. Men vs boys usually means men win - until we blend experience, and that means 3-4 yr players who have played significant minutes, with the youth we will have to suffer these types of seasons more and more
So many people are already looking forward to next year with the “we will have this guy back and this guy to pair with what we have coming in” (which we probally won’t) but whos the last player to come back and improve lol. They are what they are and we are what we are....a great place to display your talent
Careful, there are some sensitive Sally’s on here about blaming this on OAD. You’re 100% correct though. Can’t have complete turnover every year and expect to compete the year you don’t have 3-4 top 10 recruits.
Play Johnson at the PG spot..let him make plays and create.
Him and Hurt have to coexist...only way.
Let Steward and Roach play offthe ball as shooters and play Moore at the 4.
Of course not, but we know there will likely be 3-4 guys that go.
At least. Isn’t this era of college basketball so much fun?
