Feels like we played better then +6. Hopefully not stepping on their throat doesn't come back into conversation

Yeah, it kind of does....but they had a remarkable first half from a special talent just to keep them in the game.

No I'm done...no winning with him..

Glad Capel is coaching and not him
Dude, quit crying. If you can't handle people disagreeing with you (in a respectful way I might add) maybe message boards aren't for you. I haven't hurled insults your way, called you immature names, broke any board rules, or anything of the sort. I disagree with your stance and provided my stance. Why is that hard to deal with? This is a message board to discuss all things Duke basketball.

Good energy, good spacing, good ball movement. I like the rotation. Actually thought D was a passing grade. I'm happy with first 20, just not the score, so it goes. Gotta take them outa the game early here..... We don't need to deal with game pressure tonight

I love the way HG is attacking rebounds. Seems like he is attempting to get every rebound. Only has 5 right now but that reentlessness will result in 12+ rebounds by night's end imo.

Smith is a monster. But harry GIles seems way more comfortable coming of the bench and getting to watch the game before coming in... I honearly feel his role is more important coming off the bench compared to starting.

Jayson Tatum is definetly not our worst defender. It was a uncomfortable position for him to play the 4. Never guarded college 4s before he is suited better on the wing at the top of the D

Did we shoot two ft on the T? Did espn just not show it? And why did Luke not shoot them?

Don't want to let them hang around like this..Smith Jr can win this for them if it's close under 6min...

Now I'm afraid we're going to have a fight on our hands to win this game. And we're missing too many fts...and by our best ft shooters.

I don't understand why it's so hard for these guys to grasp simple basketball concepts. And for gods sake hit a free throw!

One thing for sure. UNCS didn't come to Durham to lose. Weren't we up by 12 in the 1st half. It's a 40 minute game. We seem to have a problem understanding that. Time to get it together right now with a run. OFC

Lapses on the boards. Guards have to help out better. The intensity is sorely lacking at times.

I hope our players don't go into panic mode like this board. We got to settle down and make some shots. I figured Grayson would hit that second 3.
