RJ isn't a bad player, he just doesn't let the game come to him. He's not a very good shooter, we know that. But if he would not force shots, and let the game come to him more, he'd be so much more efficient.

That's what makes him so frustrating to watch, imo. He obviously has the talent.

I don’t know that I agree that he doesn’t let the game come to him. He’s been driving on some great lanes, he just hasn’t been making the shots he’s taking. The threes I’ll agree with you. Tre has missed his fair share of open layups. And a free throw.

Having only one day to adjust to this trip is really showing.

TT is a stingy defensive team, but if we were hitting any 3’s Duke would be in the drivers seat with TTs defense stretched out everywhere’s

This is about as baddddd as we can play and we are down 4. Absolutely capable of turning it on and win it going away.

Let’s go boys!!!!

We just need to see a couple outside shots go down and get that confidence and swag back. Amazing we're still in this thing missing every 3 pointer.

But when he drives in, it's into three defenders about half the time.

Beard has been great with his timeouts. Every time I get excited we are making a run he stops it. They just need to turn the corner.

I agree with poster above, take the 3 out of Barrett’s hand and run AOC through some screens and free him for some shots

Not a whole lot to love about this game, but I'm still very confident we win it.....

Man the boys look terrible tonight. I hate December games but especially young teams. Duke has some definitely area they need to improve on. Don’t know if they can overcome this horrible performance.
