***DUKE VS SYRACUSE - ACC TOURNEY QUARTER-FINAL OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[sheyduke]

Hey Zion is back! That’s they only positive at this moment

 

[pisgah101]

What has Alex brought to the table tonight besides a couple of turnovers.

A nice three and he keeps the D honest

 

[GAAP_rivals]

Why we would take Alex out for Goldwire? It isn’t Alex fault guys didn’t pick up two consecutive trips after scores..he played good D there Bobeim just made a great shot..

AOC got away with a foul there

 

[youngman42]

We run literally nothing in the half court.

Long been one of K's biggest weaknesses. His half-court offensive coaching and system is mediocre at best. Talent often overcomes but he's just not getting these guys to learn how to attack that zone offensively.

 

[dukegrad02]

We had an 8 minute stretch where we only scored 9 points

 

[meisperplexed]

Is R.J. sick again? He's been short on his shots most of the time or it seems that way.

 

[Showenuff]

I’m angry as hell right now. We gotta tighten up

 

[K-oach Q]

Because he guards nobody. If he doesnt score he's worthless out there.

He put up 16 and 20 against this team..he is tailor made for this kind of game..he gives us spacing and a good shooter..we have none of that with him off the floor..he didn’t do anything that was bad defensively that’s just an easy excuse..wasn’t his fault he had to help of Boheim when someone didn’t pick up after a basket and he had to stop the layup..

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

How did RJ miss that?

 

[youngman42]

We need a good run to hurt them psychologically.

 

[Mr.Scary13]

Need to start pressing and make it a full court game.

 

[PixelDevil]

RJ having a rough game, hope he turns it around tomorrow. We're gonna need him.

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Goldwire!!

 

[K-oach Q]

Man that was a big miss on that layup from Barrett. Would have made it 7 now it’s 3.

 

[germantondevil]

Duke needs one of those old fashioned, vaunted Duke runs right now

 

[Mpm277]

If we win this, we HAVE to play better tomorrow.

 

[youngman42]

Barrett having an awful game. He's playing like the 100th best player in the NCAA

 

[dukesince91]

A nice three and he keeps the D honest

He sure hasn't done anything when he's been in tonight.

 

[Louisville Crazie]

Goldwire with a absolute heart play

 

[meisperplexed]

Some grit there by JGold. And he hits his free throw.

 

[dbav]

It looked like Goldwire didn't think he should lay it up there, haha.

 

[Jnood]

They’re in the bonus, and you do that??

 

[tripleb71]

Goldwire!!

 

[DukeDenver]

Goldwire with a absolute heart play

I like that he doesn’t hesitate.

 

[pisgah101]

Tre is really hurting us

 

[Ioliva]

It has nothing to do with Zion.

Ummm I never said it was? I’m in shock that we look this bad after bringing him back.

 

[dukiejay]

Right place, right time for Goldwire. Nice job, young man. This team needs any and every spark right now.

 

[Kingbluedevil]

Good job Goldwire and keep reddish on the pine

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Zion!!

 

[pisgah101]

Zion don’t get enough freaking touches! Let him get 40 every night!

 

[PixelDevil]

NPOY

 

[dbav]

That's it RJ!

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

RJ! Ok! Keep on their throats!! Come on guys!!

 

[Louisville Crazie]

Put em away

 

[tripleb71]

Annoying that K burns Bakers redshirt then doesn’t play him. How easy is it to defend a lineup with Tre, gold wire and javin on the floor

Yeah, I don't understand why he gets 0 burn against zones to get a shot or two off.

 

[DukeDenver]

Refs are giving us the business here.

 

[Ioliva]

I’m so proud of goldwire making his seemingly first ever layup

 

[youngman42]

Zion is a beast. Far and away the best player in college basketball.

And, finally, Barrett gets a big bucket.

Reddish a near total non-factor.

 

[duke0527]

Ducking **** jones

 

[Louisville Crazie]

Tre isn’t getting it done tonight.
