***DUKE VS. NOTRE DAME ACC TOURNEY FINAL OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***
- Thread starter krzyzewskiville
- Start date
Matt starts and should start....keep the same lineup we have been going with. Grayson and Harry off the bench and Bolden for a couple minutes(to where people can cry "he should be playing more")
Please no "Bolden should be given a chance to see what he can do" posts today
Pretty obvious(at least to me) he isn't ready to play more than a couple minutes a game...not ready and if he was a top 20 HS player last year then in my opinion the class must have been very weak

Tonight is OURS!!! We have this because the GOAT is our coach. Duke by 8.
Duke - 80
ND - 72
Duke - 80
ND - 72
I do believe I predicted a double digit win last night.......just sayin
Going to be a tough game playing 4 days in a row with a limited bench.
Foul trouble could decide this game.
But, my 1st key is our shooting. We have to hit 3s and not have tired legs on those jumpers if we want to stay with ND.
I think they will score on us early and the 2nd key will be defensive adjustments. If we can adjust defensively in the 2nd half along with the first key then I think we win.
Tossup to me. Hoping Duke ... 82-80.

With all due respect, you may be the most negative poster I have seen here.....
No I'm not...just get sick and tired of every game people saying how much Bolden should play and it's obvious to most he isn't ready yet....but they keep wanting him every time
And didn't you post "time to get ready for the NCAA tournament" yesterday in the first half? FIRST HALF
And I'm the negative one? Oh ok gotcha....pot meet kettle

He will start. He will shoot. He will play major minutes. I hope your head explodes because of it.
Luckily he didn't shoot last game and his minutes appear to be on the decline. I hope this trend continues and your head explodes because of it.
Ok Matt shouldn't play at all huh? Its not like we play 12 guys...as he said he will play and get good minutes...if that's a problem for you then I'm sorry but he is a huge part of this team and we need him on the floor some minutes
Who should get his minutes? Let me guess Bolden? Vrank? Those seem to be the 2 most popular players that "nerd minutes"
Because we have a short bench, I am fine with him playing. He just shouldn't start, shouldn't shoot unless he has a wide open layup, and shouldn't get anywhere close to starters minutes. For him to be anywhere close to the same amount of minutes as any of the other guards puts us in a bad spot.
Winning this one would be amazing. It will be an incredible feat, 4 games in 4 days, this game WILL begin to work on our legs. I'm praying they realize how close they are to a Championship and it carries them through. I think ol Harry, provided he didn't push the knees to hard last night, could have another huge showing tonight. Regardless how this ends, we sent the baby blues home crying. It was a beautiful thing.
Yep, I said it, and even had fun at my own expense because of it. At least I can man up and admit when I am wrong. Keep b*tching. It's about the only thing I have seen you add here. Looking forward to you bashing Luke and Giles again tonight. All good, at least we have the ignore button, right? LOL.
Duke 83
ND 82
Game time soon!

Giles learning more and more how to play without fouling. If he continues to figure it out - watch out.
Ok, so I actually thought we would lose the last 2 games. We just hadn't shown that next gear yet. And we were down in both games and didn't play particularly well and then we click. And you see it and you know that's what we've been waiting for.
I'm afraid we get tired in This one. ND could be too. But something just tells me that these guys didn't battle back the last 2 days to not go and win now!
Duke 87
ND 72.
And the night before the Bracket comes out, America officially ***** their pants.

Matt starting has given a fragile Grayson a chance to come in the game after getting to watch the other team set up it's game plan. It's less adjusting on his part. Look at his first half numbers. I'm super glad you're not coaching tonight.
Maybe instead of Matt, Tatum will be the one to cost us the game so you can feel validated. Or better for you, both can cost us the game and all of us hopeful optimists can go to bed sad and shamed. I mean I do want everyone on our board to be happy sometime.
This. Giles really gave his team some huge minutes in the 2nd half last night. I'm so glad he shut them hole fans up after hitting him with the overrated chant in Crappie Hole . God what a fun year it could have been if he came in healthy.
Then ignore me...I couldn't care less...my life will go on
If it makes you feel like a man go ahead and hit that ignore button buddy...won't hurt my feelings in the least
I don't always agree with @VaBlueDevil33, but I'm not sure why you're jumping him @SoCal Dukie. But at this point on this thread, it's not important and has started to border on hijack. Let's stick together for a bit cause the team needs some good mojo surrounding it.
SoCal/VaBlue. Hold your shots. It's game time, let's pull hard for them and win this thing! GO DUKE !
Indeed I will buddy! My wife is pondering whether its normal for an adult male to be so pumped over a college game......it's go time!
Greenberg just said Notre Dame doesn't foul. We'll be at the line 30 times tonight. Haha. Thanks Seth!!
As much as I want to argue with you, I won't. Big game tonight! All unity tonight.
