I can't believe this bull. 80% of the baskets Carolina has made are completely based on our mistakes. Carolina shouldn't even be in this game

This is ridiculous we should easily be up 13+ they can't hang with us if we tighten up some of this junk.

I don't like that we let them hang around. Got to imagine K will tighten the screws on this D in the second half.

God I hope Okafor is ok!!!

Never been so disappointed with a 7 point lead against Carolina at the half. This should be double figures easily. It started with Tyus missing that easy layup and then not getting the ensuing defensive rebound.

7 point lead into the half isn't bad at all I will gladly take it.

That said our defense could be a lot better.

I will gladly take a 1 point victory.

Duke has to take a little better care of the ball. This should be a double figure lead.

I'm with you. It fills like we should be winning by 20 imo. Our D is going to have to improve in the 2nd half or else. Hope Jah is okay...he was really limping.

Agree.....we were very sloppy at times.....Amile has to catch the ball cleanly that Tyus gets to him. Box out and keep feeding Jahl..good things will happen.

Need to start 2nd half like we started the game. Hope Jah is ok. No doubt our defense is keeping UNC in the game. Need some 3's other than Cook's. Need to humble Jo EL Berry and get his game back to normal. Make some free throws guys. We're getting to the free throw line and need to take advantage. OFC

Not doing a very good job of talking on defense. Help is weak, which comes from talking. Hopefully we'll get together at half time and correct these issues. Okafor still doesn't look good on his ankle, kind of wish they would put some tape on there during the break. Looked like he is limping a bit? Marshall? Stone hands. Thought he might be big tonight.
We're losing focus and not taking care of the ball like we did at the start of the game. Think we will regroup after half.
Go Duke!!!

more foul shots...shot well from 3...Okafor won't be 100% and UNC just started hitting the offensive glass.

I have faith...but if i had to bet money signs are pointing in UNC's favor.

The minute the announcers mentioned something about UNC getting their offensive rebound I knew we were in trouble. The Heels killed is on that end the last 10 minutes.

Our defense wasn't good. We must improve there or this one goes down to the wire.

Offensively we were good, but so were they. I'd rather be up 10 or 15, but had you asked me at the tip if I'd take seven at the half I'd have said yes.

20 minutes to go!!!

As a commentary, glad to see a game 49-42 at the half in college basketball. Someone tell UVA, Kentucky and the rest of college basketball that this is how it should be played.

Could we possibly shot ourselves in the foot any more? It's not UNC its all us....

Duke shouldn't run with UNC if Okafor is healthy...this will be bad in the last 5 minutes if we don't slow down

every time it feels like Duke is about to put a team away they make an inexplicable play...like the justice play. Dunk the ball. Then other team goes on run.

Well ...

This stretch is just awful - offensively and defensively. Since that easy layup miss by Winslow it's gone downhill.

Too many turnovers or poor shots now and then not playing D. Freshmen.

Okafor a liabilty right ow. Question is whether to let him play through it or bench him.

It was too easy to look back after halftime at everything that went Dukes way and realize we were in for a bad stretch. The question is how long it wil last.
