Got blown out of the gym tonight, no way around it. Regroup and perhaps shorten the bench further. Not sure why K didn’t mix in zone.....

I’ll say it lol - this is awful. I mean, I guess we were due to lay an egg, because we’ve not be real sharp of late, but this one is ugly.

Tre is too smart to be taking some of these shots. He’s pressing and it’s making it worse, not better.

5-17 from the charity stripe isn’t offering assistance, either.

I don’t get why we ever get away from getting the ball to Vern on every single possession. I just don’t get it.

Somebody has to make some 3's now to get us back guickly. We keep driving and they keep fouling and we keep missing free throws. We can't catch up like that!!!!

Hopefully this butt whoopin wakes them up. Gotta come to play from the opening tip. Maybe someone should tell the team the next game starts at 7 so they are ready by 8 lol.

It’s only one game. We are still in good shape for #1 seed if FSU beats Louisville.

Plus we get the wooofies at our place March 2.

We have to start games better than we do. I’m not sure why we start so slow but I don’t think all our lineup changes help us any in that regard.

Game is over but how is it every February Duke starts to regress?

Can’t say tired legs .

Did you see the coaches on the bench the entire game? They where as flat as the players on the floor for forty minutes. K barely left his seat the entire game.

On to the next one. I haven't felt this disappointed in a long time. Not sure what was wrong with the entire team tonight.

Just like State can't beat UNC at home, we cannot beat State at State.This one was embarrassing, on to the next one.

I don't get the talk about not playing good lately and regressing. We played lights out vs ND. We've had some great wins during the 7 game win streak. Young players start believing how great they are. This will be another good wake up call for Coach K to get their attention.

Basically everything that could go wrong did tonight. We were bad all around tonight, but these slow starts specifically will cost us the season if they continue in the tournament.

It has been said earlier, Duke has been struggling for the last few games minus one half against ND. Not the trend you want with March coming up. To get beat down like this by this State team shows they are not ready to make a FF run. They will have to win out including the tourney to even be considered for a 1 seed now

K shouldn't need to hold these pathetic POSs hands, they know what to do to win and it's all on playing hard. I would let them get embarrassed everytime they wouldn't play hard too...this is what we deserve, not one iota of this is on K you dumbasses.

Every time they play in Raleigh, it’s NC States Super Bowl, World Series, Stanley Cup and Masters all rolled into one game. Then they go out and drop 5-6 in a row after this.

I think a one seed is out of question now without a lot of help.

Starts with our two stars. Vernon is 10-20, and Tre is 6-18. 22 missed shots. The others feed off those two. Tre has been really bad on both sides of the ball tonight.
