***DUKE VS NOTRE DAME OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[WI#1Dukie22]

Hard to believe K ever had such a Dbag on the sideline with him!!!

F BREY

 

[LH24ND]

Always take the lead into half but that was ugly defensively. What a shame Jefferson is out.

 

[JCColsCane]

Would have really been great if Obi could have hit the FT's. Anyway, we will play better in the 2nd half, nobody better at adjustments than "K" and staff.
Everybody needs to reach back for a little more and we will be okay.
Go Duke!!

UNC starts 5-0 in conference play for first time in 15 years? Lol.

 

[dukiejay]

We're in a pretty good spot. Would have been nice to get a stop at the end of the half, but we really didn't get them the whole 20 minutes. Notre Dame, like us, is a trickier team to guard. A lot of ways they can beat you.

You would think with 23 years of systematic cheating they've could have done a little better than that.

Can't get in foul trouble so we have to sacrifice defense. This strategy works as long as we are making our shots. Outscoring the opponent seems to be the game plan.

 

[LetsGoDuke301]

Kennard and Ingram are fun to watch.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

I'm just glad Duke made it through a first half without anyone with 3 fouls. We're going to have to score a ton of points to win this game.

Yep.

[WI#1Dukie22]

Really lacking a vocal leader. They just aren't digging deep enough

Nor are the "crazies" to say the least

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

Not a good start for the 2nd half!

OFC

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

It's lack of desire on the defensive end

PLAIN AND SIMPLE

The crowd is awful. I miss the days when a Duke gamine was nonstop noise and the crazies bouncing up and down

I think that helps a lot!

 

[jamsession3]

The lack of size will show today.

 

[LetsGoDuke301]

I am about to puke.

 

[dukiejay]

We can't rebound.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Jeez...4 on Brandon.

 

[pisgah101]

I say give Grayson and Luke the ball and say create.

 

[dukiejay]

We have to make sure we're not settling for jumper after jumper. The first half proved we can get to the basket. Let Grayson and Luke go to work and set up others.

 

[Buzzooka Joe]

I think at this point you have to go with Obi over Jeter, until he gets some confidence.. They provide the exact same thing for us right now, except one has about 20 more pounds of muscle.

 

[Buzzooka Joe]

I wish when we foul on shots, that we would stop the shot from going up at least.

 

[JCColsCane]

Ride with Kennard and get Grayson involved again! I can't believe we came down the floor and looked for no one but Ingram for 3 or 4 straight possessions. We have others that can score, and now they have to.
Go Duke!!

I don't want to play UNC this year, losing to Clemson and now this performance on D. Anyone with competent big men beats us.

 

[DevilDJ]

You would think with 23 years of systematic cheating they've could have done a little better than that.

Yep. And it's that cheating that's even allowed them the possibility to play in the post-season this year. Shameless.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

That Kennard guy might be pretty good one of these days.

OFC

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

Give K a jersey

 

[Jnood]

I hate bonzi colston more then anyone I have ever see do anything, in my whole life.

 

[LH24ND]

The wide open ND shots continue. Just pitiful.

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

Colson has my blood boiling.....K's as well, maybe Plum will start getting personal

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

Will win this, not worried

 

[dukiejay]

Layup after layup. We can't stop them.

 

[Crank_it_loud]

Kennard a stud.

D is awful.

 

[Crank_it_loud]

Colson wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't such a punk.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Will win this, not worried

I will have to admit that I'm a little worried. We can't rebound or defend, and we can't afford anymore fouls. We've got to shoot lights out to win this, and hope ND cools down some. Hopefully we're able to get it done.

OFC

 

[dukiejay]

And when we do get a stop we can't rebound. I'm afraid it's just who we are at this point.

 

[jamsession3]

Notre Dame hustles....50/50 balls are going their way!

 

[Dad2ze]

I will have to admit that I'm a little worried. We can't rebound or defend, and we can't afford anymore fouls. We've got to shoot lights out to win this, and hope ND cools down some. Hopefully we're able to get it done.

ND can't miss it seems and agreed our defense has to step up. Defense wins games!!!

 

[Buzzooka Joe]

I really feel like it may be near impossible to be a really good team with only 6 players.. No matter how good those 6 are.. I think you really have to have 7 players minimum.
