Have to give it to Cat sweet drive

 

[germantondevil]

And Grayson on the sweet drive as well

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

The highs and lows have me exhausted.... Sitting in my recliner. And I NEVER have troubles sticking with it.

Can't imagine being these young guys on the floor.

 

[Jnood]

We are super good at killing our own momentum!

 

[dukiejay]

We have to keep driving the ball in the hopes of creating FT opportunities later.

 

[denverexpat]

Uncanny how we can get level and then just hit reverse - lets get ahead and step on their neck

 

[Dad2ze]

Why the he-ll are we playing 3-2 zone?!?!?

 

[K-oach Q]

You can't fault the effort of this team at all..they play hard and don't quit. Just need to learn to make winning plays.

 

[Dad2ze]

Did they actually call a foul down low for us??

 

[denverexpat]

Its a weird zone or maybe they are not playing 2-3 - Plumlee is being left with a 1 vs 2 situation when they get the ball inside - they just havent taken advantage yet. Not sure who is meant to be down low to help but its really wide open under the basket

Agree they play hard with what they have. Whenever our shooters find that range again this stretch will be forgotten about and we have shooters. It will.gel and it will be lights out when they do. Just in a funk right now

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Hell Yeah!!!!

 

[K-oach Q]

Got a few stops in a row..just what we needed.

Nice move to switch to 1-3-1 really quick there and close down that middle.

 

[TRU CANE]

Mmmm hmmm a little faith

 

[denverexpat]

Now push on and defend!!!! They are reeling - land a killer blow

 

[Dad2ze]

Now....step on that little wolf neck and rip its head off

 

[germantondevil]

Sweet play G and Ingram

 

[dbav]

The injury to Barber has changed this game. Gutsy to be up like this after being down by 9 at one point.

 

[germantondevil]

Little Duke of old right now

 

[Dad2ze]

Did anyone notice Amile dressed out? Last game at Duke he was in dress clothes. Today he is suited up

 

[germantondevil]

Hell yea!!!!!!!!!

 

[germantondevil]

Keep the pressure on Duke Great look and finish Plumlee

 

[denverexpat]

Come on Thornton!!! You cant give up easy picks for fast breaks

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Did anyone notice Amile dressed out? Last game at Duke he was in dress clothes. Today he is suited up

Yeah, I don't know when he'll be back on the court, but it has to be a big lift to the team's spirit...and his!

OFC

 

[germantondevil]

Freshman mistake for the easy runout. Can't take anything lightly in a game like this

 

[dbav]

Ingram is so smooth around the hoop. Kind of a Dr. J like quality there.

 

[germantondevil]

Yeah, I don't know when he'll be back on the court, but it has to be a big lift to the team's spirit...and his!

OFC

God I hope soon. He might give Duke that second wind like when Boozer came back from injury in 01. Duke was a different team when he came back mentally

 

[dbav]

Thornton is having a tough game but has had some important contributions.

 

[Dad2ze]

God I hope soon. He might give Duke that second wind like when Boozer came back from injury in 01. Duke was a different team when he came back mentally

Would love to see him back when we play UNC.

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

Oh boy we may win a game

 

[dbav]

Are the Martin twins Amish?

 

[germantondevil]

Would love to see him back when we play UNC.

Amen there Brother

 

[denverexpat]

Geez - what a bank shot!...kudos for that to be fair

 

[germantondevil]

Finish this thing boys Plumlee

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

God I hope soon. He might give Duke that second wind like when Boozer came back from injury in 01. Duke was a different team when he came back mentally

Yeah, he will be huge for this team...and seven will be heaven.

OFC

 

[germantondevil]

Good foul..No dunk and picking himself up from the floor. Good one now try and make two free rhrows

 

[dbav]

Great second half so far.

 

[denverexpat]

Could be the first time we can discuss Stall ball this year!....at least i hope so!!!!

 

[germantondevil]

Huge drive and dish for three looking like Our boys we used to seeing

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

We need thornton in to handle the ball instead of jones
