This one is not about revenge, it is about the fist, everyone coming together and for one common goal, apply the experiences of this season, and make a run to the ultimate goal.
Tre and Vern will get a lot of help tonight, and Duke will get a much needed win.

Go Duke!

They are desperate for another quality win. Would love nothing more to destroy the Woofies and send them back to Raleigh without it.

Duke: 81

This is probably the most important game of the season. We must get a win and regain confidence!

Cringeworthy when Carey comes out to the 3 point line to defend and a screen comes. Good grief lol

I’m not sure what starting Joey is suppose to accomplish when he only got 2.5 minutes and no shots.

Ugh. We shot something like 30% inside the paint last game don’t look any better so far. Need to hit a few shots to get the confidence going.

We just aren’t making perimeter shots and 3s. Offense gets tight and leads to 1 on 1 without passing. Night and day when we played ND, hit shots, led to good defense, which led to transition baskets. We have had only 1 good shooting game since then.

When all else fails, start shooting 3s every time down the court. Really mind boggling to say the least.
