Defense looks good. Getting the turnovers. Get rid of these bad turnovers and I like us for the win.

good play, bad play, good play, bad play....rinse and repeat.....never seen a team with such a cadence. Its comical at times, great steal then throw the pass away, defensive stop; put up a poor 3pt shot....boggles the mind!

We just consistently look really young. Which we are. We're really missing that junior or senior leader.
Direct result of the current college basketball system. It’s awful and needs to be changed. Bad product.

somewhat on topic, but if you watched the IMG/Monteverde game ( #1 and #2 HS teams in the country) our team looks eerily familiar to how they play vs if you watched Baylor/TTech

We have lived by the OAD for several years now and it is the same old song. At times they look awesome then as quick as a tv timeout they look very young . Other OAD teams were more game to game. This team is from timeout to timeout.

Coach will not leave our big in the game long enough to even break a sweat and get into the flow of a game before he jerks him out and goes small and weak

Loving Goldwire off the floor. If we are going to play zone we don’t really need him defensively. And he is such a liability on offense...this is good for Duke.

Moving the ball pretty well on offense.... defense needs to sure up esp on rebounding

High school coaches are going to have to start teaching kids how to shoot. No one can anymore and it never mattered in HS just because they're so athletic.

Williams isn't ready....has no business on the floor...don't care how tall he is
Agree to a point but he will never be ready on the bench. Bigs get better with time and repetition. He needs game minutes. Casey Saunders is a huge example of that. He was never a factor until Boozer got hurt and Coach had no choice. In a short window he became a part of a championship team.

Was he a freshman?

Who's the color commentator? Making some good points on the ranking of recruits and program focus etc. Pitts 3 star lighting us up as a case in point!

I’m sorry loyal Duke fan but at this moment Duke is border line 16 seed (play in game ) or NIT. Simply can not defend around the rim and are to soft around it.

We just need to stop jumping at everything on defense up top. Play sound and stop the dribble penetration.

We are a lot better offensively without Goldwire jamming things up.

When’s the last time Joey Baker has made a 3? The “Coach K should play Baker more” crowd probably doesn’t even know the answer
