weird -so they have the ability and showed the mentality also in this half - why has it not surfaced before?
I really needed these 6 points in the DI ACC pickem
I'm with you, but this an emotional contest with an inspired comeback.
I actually am with you and think if Tatum becomes who he thinks he is, and Matt is at least 37% effective on O, this lineup becomes Duke's best. I'd love to see it start next game. Just as a positive message.
Monday night, I think Bolden should start at center and the coaches should keep lighting a fire under him, give him confidence. He's tough when he plays hard and smart. You just can't coach a 7'6 wingspan.
I think you still have to give him minutes if nothing else but for his own confidence and trusting that knee for his future beyond Duke
I think so. In March, I bet he ain't Chris Webber, but if he's a decent Harry Giles that's better than nothing (or Chase or Javin or AV). He needs to continue to take these contact shots and work help D. He won't be great in March, but he'll be good.
Duke ended the game the way had been playing since December. Don't like that.
Matt Jones player of the game! He flipped this almost single handidly!
Great comeback..wasn't a fan of the let up at the end..sometimes you need to make a statement
Didn't think I would get any. Now with that don't need to hear any negative crap about Matt the rest of the year. OFC
Yeah, we had the win, but finishing well could have really helped carrying over into the next game.

. Start Matt,Amile,jayson,Marquise,Frank next game. Grayson and Luke not looking fired up to play. Harry is just not ready to play big minutes.
Matt was the engine that brought us back in the 2nd half, but man I was impressed with Bolden's play. His hedging out on the screen & roll was excellent! Hope he continues to hustle like that!!!!!

Tip of the cap to Capel....and Matt Jones - from now on i would like to see this type of urgency and effort at both ends. Then maybe we can live up to the expectations set for this year AND the Duke basketball program every year!
Idc about the finish, Miami made some tough finishes near the end. But that is the heart we all love to see! The best possible response we could've made! So proud of the squad!
Bolden deserves honorable mention. That rim protection was huge.
Bolden has earned starter like minutes going forward. His presence on D is exactly what we have been searching for from a 5. He plays the pick and roll as he should and at least distracts shots around the rim. He is showing that he's tired of riding the bench. I hope others show the same type of attitude. That is when this team will takes strides forward
In that awful first half, Tatum actually did what I was hoping he would do, which is use his drive to create for others. Amile just couldn't finish.
I think Tatum will be not only fine, but the key to Duke's finish. He's just got to use his gifts for the betterment of Duke, not Jayson.
crap..the way dem devils erased that double digit lead, you may be right...
