***DUKE VS NC STATE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[krzyzewskiville]

Well, we biffed the last two games at home we should have won so I definitely have little faith we're going to run away with today's road game against the Wolf Pack.

Not much else to say. Let's win a frckin' game.

Duke 77

NC State 71

GO DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On a side note...I usually check the Wikipedia page for this year's team for game time and it said the game was scheduled for noon but when I turned my tv to CBS so that it would already be on the channel of the game...it showed that the game is scheduled for 2...so I checked the schedule here on DI and it also had the game scheduled for 2...I'm glad I checked tonight because I would've had the wrong game time if I had just went by the game time listed on the Wikipedia page...it usually has the correct game time lol

Let's turn this around! Looking for a close, hard fought win! We really need Luke to find his shooting touch back! GO DUKE!!!

[dbav]

GIVE 'EM HELL DUKE!

 

[Dukesince90]

Don't care if Duke wins by a half a point, just get the W!

We need this W in a bad way. Duke wins in a close one 75-72.

 

[pisgah101]

Need it..

I want a win so I don't have to hear my wife, who is a Moo U Alum run her mouth about 4 losses in a row.

Duke - 74
Cow College - 63

Just hope that their bangers don't decide to have career days against us.
Chase,Obi and Vrank. Just go out on the court and play some basketball if called upon. OFC

No kidding! Three days later State loses to some D3 school by 40.

 

[K-oach Q]

This is a hard one for me..I said when ACC play started I thought we would lose two in a row @state and @Miami. Didn't think we would be coming off three loses straight then.

This is a bad matchup there strengths are our weaknesses. A quick scoring PG that can penetrate and bigs that rebound very well. I think this is the best rebounding team we will have faced.

But..can Duke really lose four straight and then possibly five?? I don't know..I'm going against what I said earlier and going to roll with K with five days to prepare, and we are actually desperate for a win..

They'll get back on track at some point but I don't see it today:

Duke 71
State 79

State plays like Final Four contenders and then lose the next two games.

 

[DukeDenver]

Grayson goes off. Plumlee goes Captain America on them.

 

[JCColsCane]

We really must have a sense of urgency today, and we must function as a team. If we can hold Barber below his average and keep him from going off, and stay 1/2 way even on the boards, I think Duke will find a way to get this one (please!). This game shouldn't be that big of a deal at this stage of the season, but it is! Chase, if you get in the game, it is time!
Go Duke!!

US- 77
Them- 64

GO DUKE!!

 

[crazyduke3]

State .

Think barber will be too much.

Go get them Duke!!

Let's Go Duke!!

 

[HuffyJB]

Just hope that their bangers don't decide to have career days against us.

That is my concern as well today. I think someone like Anya, and his 4 ppg, will play like a lottery pick.

 

[Showenuff]

Wearing the Blue Disruptions today, gonna look and play sharp!

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

The bad news is we've lost 3 games in a row. More bad news is that we're playing at PNC Arena where we've lost 3 out of the last 4 games. Even more bad news is that NC State has all the ingredients that give us hell...great rebounding, and a quick as a Cat pg.

The good news is that K and the staff had 4 full off days to work with this team. I'm sure there are going to be at least some minor adjustments...and maybe some bigger changes.
A little more poise and some made fts and we wouldn't even be talking about the possibility of a 4th loss in a row. Maybe we'll get a little of that today...or even better maybe we'll win going away.

Duke 78
NC State 74

The over and under for this game is 160/100...blood pressure that is.

OFC

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

I just want a damn win anyway we can get it

 

[QC Dukie]

Before the season, I said we would lose at State. I'm changing my mind now. I think we will be the hungry team desperate for a win today, and find a way to get it done.

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

I believe we'll end 2 streaks today. I believe we end our 3 game losing streak and I believe we'll end our losing streak at NC State. Last time we won at NC State was during the 2010-11 season.

 

[dbav]

I'm mixing in some West Point gear with my Duke gear.

 

[dbav]

Seriously, there is a storm update on instead of the game. We're in the northeast and it's snowing. There is no news there.

 

[pisgah101]

This game
Gunna start today!?

 

[Dukesince90]

Here we go!

 

[Willcampbell]

Some bimbo is asking people what they are going to eat when they get home. Seriously?
OFC

 

[dbav]

Wow. CBS is really preempting the game for coverage of a snow storm. I'm sort of speechless.

 

[dbav]

And Rodeo is on CBS Sports Network. WTF?

 

[Willcampbell]

At the bottom of the screen, CBS directed me to WLNY Channel 10 on Long Island. Hope the rest of you have an option as well. This is an outrage. Don't they know there is such a thing as the weather channel?
OFC

 

[Dukesince90]

Like how Coach K is mixing up our defenses. Allen came to play, hope he ca sustain this level throughout the game.

 

[dukiejay]

Good start.

 

[dbav]

Thanks Will. It's 55 upstate.

 

[dukiejay]

That hurts. Abu clearly travels and the refs miss it....then we commit a foul which isn't good for our depth issues. Ugh.

 

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

How the heck do they call a foul on Grayson when he was getting up and the NC State player falls over him
