Farrell is a problem and is going to continue to be throughout the second half. Gotta get him in foul trouble. Cut the head off of the snake.
***DUKE VS. NOTRE DAME ACC TOURNEY FINAL OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

Up 8 and then we give up offensive rebounds to get it back to 4.....up 9....second chance points brings it back to 5....we need to push that lead and not keep rubberbanding back to a two possession lead. I do like the way ND's experience makes them look efficient on the Offensive end....this one will go down to the wire unless we get hot on the offensive end
This game has a similar vibe to last night when Duke was only 7 down after UNC dominated the boards and paint. Duke seems like they should be up a lot more.

I hope the refs don't make up for the sparse use of whistles in the first half once we're in the second
Second half adjustments:
Play under Bonzi. Gotta stay tall and make him shoot and rebound over hands.
Force Farrell to the sidelines and baseline. He's deadly in the middle of the floor.
On offense, we're getting good shots, they just aren't falling yet. Keep attacking to get to the line. Shooting at the line will also help get the rhythm back on the jumpers.

Totally appalling end to the half - a pick and roll for an and 1....really.....we were up 9 and gave them back pts by 2 turnovers and an and 1 in the last 90 seconds.....where is the killer instinct?
We're in a pretty good spot. Notre Dame is a good basketball team. This was never going to be easy.
I'm glad you clarified that Mac. I don't want to read some Sandusky crap. LOL
huge shot Grayson! Looking to be a nail-biter although it feels like we could/should be ahead by more.
I think if these guys just work a bit harder on the glass we'll be fine.
A lot to like with that half.

If we keep ND off the offensive glass we're going to win. They're struggling to stop all of our weapons. We just need to keep attacking.
I have on same shirt, sweatpants and socks I wore last night. I watched game on a different tv than normal last night and I'm right back in front of it again tonight. So far so good!
Just think, we could be down 14 at the half. There, doesn't up 4 look great now ?
Defense is coming around. Their long rebounds of missed shots hurt us.
We can't give them multiple opportunities on each possession.

Notre Dame 78 ppg on 59 shots per game.
Duke 80 ppg on 58 shots per game.
Advantage Duke on the pace there Seth.

Now if we can have our normal 2nd half, we can win this thing!! Harry can really help us. Hope he plays more!!!

Duke's offense has really started to click with all the penetration and shooters we can throw at teams. We're going to get good shots, just have to make them.

Run them off the 3 point line. It's the great equalizer that we ourselves have used in many a games.
Greenberg continues to clarify how insignificant he really is.
