Stop...every now and then, Duke will play a team that we need to smack in the mouth and be tough...who's tough...Oak...he's hurt!

No only are we not stopping them, but it seems every shot in the lane we get there too late, and they get an and1. Even if our offense gets going, we've got to get some stops, and rebounds when we do.

At least I don't have to deal with the anxiety of another carolina game. I hate it for Quinn but oh well,
Man, and this team really had my hopes up. I see a 2nd round exit (maybe sweet 16) for this team. The defense simply isn't there, and K still can get stuck in his ways (refusing to go zone when these guys cant stay in front of anyone).
Damn.
Damn.
Our effort is embarrassing and we are getting run out of the gym.....our defense is absolutely awful and we continue to take stupid shots.....all equals an A$$ beating and that's exactly what we are getting
Going to bed fellas. I'll check it when I go pee at 3AM.
No fight in these Devils tonight. ND has plenty.

They can play no better, we can play no worse...... Stay close and will be right there. No reason not to trust this squad
Anytime you beat a good team like ND by 30, no matter where it is, you can expect something like this! I really didn't think they would out hustle us this bad though.
Not over yet, but there better be some switches come on in a hurry!
Go Duke!!

I just think fifteen pts is to much to spot them for a half when they are so good offensively. One of our worst halfs of the season now into the most important part of the season. Really bad timing to come out ladisical....we have to play an insane 20 minutes to have a chance now.
Guys you can have all the confidence you want but we aren't winning this game....no fight at all in these guys tonight....better change quick or we will be out of the big dance quick again
I'm excited to enjoy this second half and the tourney unlike a lot of you Negative Nancys who've already written them off!
GO DUKE!!!
GO DUKE!!!
We're playing baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadly, but ND is also very good. We've got our work cut out for us if we want to get back in this game.

I know that it is ugly. But I have given up a couple of times this year and looked like ab idiot.
Go Duke!
Go Duke!
Total lack of fight and all those words..... THATS IT!!!!!!!! Save all the X's and O's talk on here....... I'm quite confident no more then 30 seconds of the half time will be about X's and O's in that locker room.
First 5 minutes will tell the entire story about this team, for all the big talk we've been doing we could walk into the tourney with our tails tucked if we get blitzed this next 20!!
Hey this is what it's about....... Time is now: Quinn and Tyus time, with a solid Oak. Won't win without our backcourt going large

Not me! Duke is capable of going on some huge runs. ND has all the momentum, if we're able to get a little 'mo' of our own then we can get right back in this game. But we're going to have to get intense and play with some fire.

Bad half but I think we will come back. You guys give up too early. A few threes and we are back in it.
For those of you calling for early tournament exits: CHiILLLLLL

Common guys, hang in there, it's not over yet. We will find out in the second half what this team is made of, but to be a Champion, you have to face something like this along the line.
This is still Duke, and we are not 29-3 for nothing!! We just need to somehow play the second half like we did against NC State, and it is possible! We are not going away! Guards must take over, and I mean right away! Penetrate and crash the boards, if we cannot stop them, we must outscore them. Oakafor must become a complete beast, now!
Go Duke!!

The way I see it, if this game aint at 8 points by the 15:00 mark, rest the big boy. This could get really ugly if Notre Dame has any more runs.
