The way Cuse is shooting they could rack up on the basketball game at the State fair.
Never thought I would see a game where Plumlee looked like our best offensive player. Props to him.
We wouldn't be in these close games if we didn't kick the ball out of the MIDDLE OF THE FREAKING ZONE AND BACK OUT TO THE STRENGTH OF THE DEFENSE!!! That is just straight up bad basketball and kids are continuing to do that in all of basketball.
As a coach, I can't ever understand why you drive to the middle, the weakness of the defense, and then throw the ball back out to players on the perimeter. The amount of twos made will always outweigh the extra point you get every 3rd field goal, IF you shoot 33%. Duke has deserved to lose the last three on that type of basketball alone.

I'm not going to rip this team apart in all the ways we need to impove... We're just not a good team right now.
Very confused why you wouldn't flash ingram to ft line all night.
No rebounding effort other than marshallmarshall
Bad shooting night
The team is in trouble

well this is about as bad a stretch of basketball as i have ever seen. its kind of hard to see where this group is going right now.
if we can't hit the 3, this team is done. they can't defend, can't rebound and can't put the ball on the floor and score.

Does mono mean "tired legs"?
Seriously, it's just mistakes. We make mistakes in judgement on half our plays. We have plenty of indiv. talent. We need to tighten up mentally, and it may be beyond us. Our guys are all trying to find themselves. They need to start finding the TEAM. Five fingers!
There are plenty of answers. What the team needs to do is actually easy and fixable, with or without Amile. It's time to scrap the half-court passing lane man, pack the lane, rebound and shoot when you're 15 feet from the basket, not 30.
This issue is not a lack of talent, which is the only thing that is comforting right now.
There's not really much to say. Duke just isn't very good. I think many of us knew that, relatively-speaking, this wasn't going to be a great Duke team. That said, I wasn't anticipating this. It's a struggle right now....and while we miss Amile, that's not the only thing to blame here.
Disappointed that no adjustments were made against the zone - the offense was one dimensional. JWILL is dying on ESPN, I think he is embarrassed with this team - he's all over the guard play and the lack of rebounding. This team needs to find a chip on its shoulder and play like they are mad. Too soft at the moment.
Yeah, I think this team might have a tough time making the tournament. Just too many bad losses. This was their easy part of their schedule. I guess the good news is there is a lot of big games they can still win. We will see what this team is made of. But I think the depth is the issue and I don't know if Amile will be enough. I will be pulling for them.
