2/20 from three. Keep jacking up fellas.

said it before....our 3pt shooting is like a TO most of the time because we shoot so poorly. We should stop shooting as many or at least try to get someone who can make 30-40% to shoot...maybe AOC?....we seem to be cursed by weird injuries...the Zion shoe one is just unlucky
Defense in the paint is poor. We are playing into the cheats hands with this game plan

Anything still possible, but it is getting tough to stay optimistic here. I know they crawled out of a huge hole at Louisville, but they had the services of the best player in the country at the time.

Not one, NOT ONE, foul has been called on Cheats on for two hands on the offensive players or excessive bumps on drives. You cannot fault us when Carolina is manhandling us on drives with no whistles...

That shoe needs to be burned. Reanimated. Put back together. Burned again. Ashes fed to a wild boar. Wild boar’s poop needs to be collected, put on a spaceship and flown directly into the sun.

Then blow up the sun.


Wow!! Couldn't have said it better myself!!!

I would love for Duke to win this game, but the fact is, win or lose, I'll feel the same - AWFUL because Zion is out.

Yup, it’s gotta be done on defense and the boards and hope UNC continues cold from 3 as well.

When I was in the shower, washing off the putrid stench left by the first half. I envisioned an 20 point win for duke. The boat race is on!!

That wasn’t a foul on DeLaurier, what an AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL call. We were down 5 with momentum and that call stopped the momentum and gave Carolina the momentum to end the half. Now we’re down 10 when it SHOULD be 5 or less. I know it’s just one call but that’s a game changer.

If we PROTECT the paint in the 2nd half and don’t let ourselves live/die by the 3, it’ll be a ball game.

When we win this game, they need to throw all of the nike shoes in the ceremonial bench fire.

I read page 6 at halftime and jumped to page 10. I still can't believe how some of our fans just start trashing these kids. It's bs to say some don't care. Our best freshman ever goes down 33 seconds into the game, of course it's going to affect them. I still have faith that our guys are going to circle the wagon for Zion and some how some way pull this one out.

I want Jordan to play the half.... but we are struggling so bad on offense, and he brings us nothing.

RJ and Cam have to take over but we have got to get something, anything from someone else. AOC or white have got to hit some shots.

RJ & Cam must keep scoring, and someone else (Tre/Alex) must really step up their scoring, or this is not going to work out. But first and most importantly, we must step up the "D". Zone, communication, everything must click. Not over yet, but going to be tough. We can do this!
Go Duke!

Some ortho doctor just tweeted by looking at the shoes he suspects MCL sprain. Hoping he is correct.

they both jacked up air balls at the end of the half. We have to make better decisions overall. The offense looks disconnected. Hopefully half time they can get together on both ends. Might as well drive the ball...the 3 isnt going to save us

I never saw thought I would see a game that would make NCAA Division III officials look good. I was wrong...

Defense has been terrible. We only have two guys who can score. This is going to be a butt whooping.

Wanna adjust to a zone defense or just continue to get mopped up and down the floor on defense?

You’ll see a defensive adjustment coming. We can’t disrupt anything they are doing right now.

I’ll ask why is Alex O’Connell in the game, but what’s the alternative?

Dig deep guys.. just gotta take it piece by piece. We may have to get someone else on maye though.. he’s getting what he wants too easy right now.
