Huh..Dickie V with the statement "if you give a kid a scholarship he should be able to give you some minutes" - couldnt agree more.

That Defensive possession was awesome...need to build on that one to many more!


Note he said he should be able to give you minutes not Duke giving him minutes. OFC

The boys have hit that mid season wall. Shallow bench and a lot of hard fought games lately. They are young and they will catch their second wind soon and start clicking soon again. Somebody will spark that fire again.

Took an hour to get the shot off. This is the first game where I've been truly ticked at Duke. Just chucking three after three. If that's the game plan then they deserve to lose.

Yeah, and if the 3's were falling you would probably be salivating.

There is no way that I would plant one on Show's rear. OFC

I'm with you on that Sky! That reminds me of the joke about the guy getting bit on the penis, by a snake, and his friend going to the doctor to get advice on how to treat it. Remember how that ended?

I liked our defensive intensity. That's the best we've looked in a while. The offense....well, not so much. We fell in love with the 3-ball a bit much for my liking.

Man, we have got to rebound better. We are doing great on defense, but we must keep them off the offensive boards. BATTLE - BATTLE - BATTLE!!
Go Duke!!

Did I hear correctly that 3 of Dukes freshman never has seen the "zone?"

Getting smacked on the boards. May be time to go big with obi and Plumlee together. Won't change anything offensively since they pass until they get a 3. At least they can rebound and kick out with that lineup.....

Gotta step it up!

That was a really bad play by Thornton trying to thread that to Obi. Caused a 6-0 Syracuse run there.

If they don't drive and try to draw fouls we are going to lose another one.

Would like to see Ingram hang out in the post more with his length. That length is a waste standing around the arch.

My first post, but this is hard to watch. No adjustments to the zone. 3 after 3. Frustrating.

Grayson has got to get back into the offense! Sometimes he is too unselfish. He has to impose himself, and Luke must respond soon. Just wish Grayson would take over.
Go Duke!!

Make that 7/29. I'd really like to see us shoot at least 45 threes before the night is over.

These kids don't know how to win yet. When the kill is in front of you and you don't pounce on it, it typically equals defeat. As they are learning.

With the new rules on impeding a driving player - i would have thought the zone would have been more difficult to stop penetration but our perimeter isnt even trying to get past their outside defenders. Looks like they are trying to break the Duke record for 3pt attempts...any one know what that is?

Nothing against Plumlee and he's playing his heart out but it's not good when he's the leading scorer
