MSU is not going to shoot like they did out of the gate, but they also won't miss as many as they did during that last stretch. Duke must continue to score consistently enough to negate the likely increased offense from MSU. Duke's defense most of that half was terrific.
Great 1st half. We may need to pass that Xanax around for the 2nd half. I don't know if my nerves can handle it!
First 5 minutes of game not fun for my heart rate lol. Defense settled in and looks filthy. Suffocating. Fouls adding up so no cheapies in second half. Great perimeter D.
They cannot guard Okafor and they aren't doubling so I'd go to him over and over again.

Love our defensive intensity!! We're talking, switching, and helping. If we can keep that up in the 2nd half, we will be fine. God I love these kids!
If we can just play them even in the 2nd half, it's ours. Foul trouble is going to be big for someone. Our guards just need to keep penetrating.
Tyus & Quinn, keep coming and driving. Grayson, out of sight young man, you are fearless. Keep driving and chucking it up there. We cannot let this one get away now!!
Go Duke!!

As long as Justise doesn't get his 3rd early in the half, we should be ok foul wise. Jefferson with 3 is not good, but he won't play as much anyway.
Hope Coach K has them playing patiently this half and either getting it down low or driving to the basket.
MSU will force the tempo and I hope Duke knows when to go fast and when to be patient.
If Jah gets 8-9 shots this half Duke will be fine.

The normal one. I want Nantz calling the game. Plus, Grant is doing it. I don't want to watch the total homer version. Something about that just doesn't seem right.
And just like that they've got a chance to cut the 20 point lead to 12 or 13 (if they score) in about a minute or so. Got to continue to play hard.
