Big block by Jayson. Maybe that's one reason he's in there. Big by Jackson also. OFC

Duke's D is really good today. But, the offense is really lacking two things and Pitt's length is playing into that perfectly - making it tough for points:

1) The first is one everyone and their dog has mentioned, Duke has no point guard presence on the court.

2) We have no genuine inside presence. Amile is scoring well when we penetrate and dish but we don't have a post presence and that allows Pitt (and will allow other defenses with length and quickness) to pressure our outside shooting without giving up much. Could really use a Bolden with a better developed game. Starting to wonder if he's hurt? Zero minutes this game.

Game is strange because we are actually playing pretty well...but can't get the ball in the hole...

We need more penetration...when we have penetrated good things have happened..

Love the recognition they just gave Dick Groat. What a great Duke player and athlete. We should be proud even though he's the Pitt announcer. Great class. OFC

Jayson has been rough on defense but I feel like we are close on that end just not quite there

Let's take advantage of this time out and come out and close them out. Cannot rely on stall ball at any point. OFC

Took longer for shots to start dropping than I thought, but once they did it is proving Duke has been the superior team today.

Pitt has made some tough shots despite some pretty good defense on our part.

Also, Grayson Allen is a stone cold killer.

Jayson has made some terrible plays on D today but he has also made some huge plays on D also

Hopefully he is getting it now on the D end of the floor

His effort is a lot better the last 3 games

It's going the point where we may go to the free throw line right much. Got to hit them. OFC

I wouldn't want Harry in there with Nix. Don't want to risk injury if Nix falls over.
