[OldasdirtDevil]

Hell Yeah!!!!!! Our boys have responded...Justise with the big dunk on a nice feed by Jah, and then Grayson shows them he can take it to them!

Grayson has provided a great spark for us. It's too bad he's in that foul trouble.

 

[dukiejay]

That was the four minutes I was looking for.....

 

[ZLonghorn99]

7:49 to go, and we are about to attempt our first free throw...and we lead by 16. Who'd of thunk it?

And the four minutes I was hoping for.

We need to get to the next tv timeout without giving up any ground to SD then I think I can breath a little.

 

[Bruce3D]

This is correct. It's required during the NCAA tournament. I know he doesn't like doing them, but I enjoy hearing from him at halftime.

But that's impossible because Duke gets all the calls

 

[dbav]

I get nervous when Justise passes the ball further than 10 feet.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Oh baby, I can smell the Sweet 16!

[germantondevil]

Pulling out the nails and hammer. Keep the pressure on em boys

[GTHC_ GTH!]

Unfortunately, I can smell Meeks gas in the Sweet 16 too. Man, I wish they would have lost to Harvard

 

[Mpm277]

No early exit with this team, guys.

 

[SWEc/o95]

Justise with another awesome stat line.

Well.....

 

[GoDuke'13]

Everybody on the team needs to wash their hands immediately with SDSU being sick. Cant afford that.

 

[DFerryFan]

Sweet 16!! YEAH BABY!

 

[kailman]

Refs gave us the game with all the foul shots. Lol. Two nice wins.. Here we go.

 

[dbav]

I'm really excited about this win.

 

[crazyduke3]

Excellent statement win by the boys. Now onto the team I'm most worried about in our bracket.

 

[pisgah101]

Great win and great game IMO. We were cool and didn't get rattled when we could have many time. This team is great folks and we have a great shot to hang a couple banners

 

[skysdad]

Really impressed with our free throw shooting today especially Jah's. Didn't miss. 100%.

Grayson woulda had a big time game if the refs didn't put a stop to it!

 

[The Right Blue]

Very solid win. Winslow was fantastic. Going forward, Tyus has to become even more involved. Feel confident going into next friday's game. Still would have rather played G-Town, though. All in all, couldn't ask for much more from this team this weekend.

 

[dukiejay]

Really, the weekend was everything we could have possibly hoped for. We had a convincing win on Friday night that was over pretty much by halftime (as it should have been), and then today we steamrolled a dangerous SDSU team. We should beat them the majority of the time, but it was encouraging how we punched them in the mouth early and never let them fully recover.

We're on our way Houston!

 

[madrussian]

agreed. great weekend. 2 nice victories and on to the sweet sixteen.

now on to the utes!

Right Blue, you are correct about Tyus, but don' forget, he is still in control of the game. Even when he is not scoring, we must have him on the floor to set everything up. I have been saying the same thing, and trust me, Tyus will show up when the time comes.
I would like for Quinn and Tyus to make sure that they take some of the pressure off Okafor, maybe even a little earlier in the game next Friday, they are the key to how far we advance.
So proud of this team, great first weekend start.
Go Duke!!

I thought Tyus was pretty good today. He had one really bad turnover and struggled with his shot, but he was a great floor general, played well defensively and didn't turn it over.

 

[madrussian]

agreed. tyus' vision on the floor is amazing. his unselfishness with the ball is a key ingredient to the teams success.

its almost like his shot doesn't seem to 'warm up until the end of the game.
