Not at all. Lobs and dunks? Sure. They pass a lot on that. Tre Jones? Sure he passes a ton. Everything else and halfcourt offense? Not really. They’ve been playing like this the past few games. Look at how much shots barret takes a game. There’s no reason for that with so much talent. The first half was all transition scoring. Very little damage was done in a half court setting and it wasn’t just techs defense. We won this game based on talent. Dukes going to need to learn how to incorporate some better fundamentals if they want to go far in the tourney.

Somebody tell me in detail how in the hell we won this game without saying Defense or Stones in it.
Heck of a game, fellas. Great comeback by your Blue Devils. Hope we see you in Minneapolis in April.
Not the prettiest win, at all, but it's a win against a top 12 team on a neutral court. That counts for something. Excellent free throws by us, the rest, not so much.
Culver was TT's only really good player tonight.
Cam was fantastic down the stretch. We don't win without those points or his defensive plays.
Meh. You don’t have a team this good and as good as they are on offense if they don’t play team ball. They know their roles and they play them well. The assist numbers are down some against good teams, but not like they totally disappear. And the only reason you want to not count transition sharing is just to prove your point. That doesn’t fly, sorry not sorry. Transition is absolutely a part of this team and a good transition team is very much in sync.
Tre is the engine of the team.Much respect to Culver though, dude is tough and a talented player.
A nice win with a bad night from RJ and Zion in foul trouble all game. Jones and White played great. Cam with such a big shot was good to see. He’s got to get out of this funk.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many charges called against a team.
WTF
WTF
Pixel, these are the games that are tough on us fans, but I believe these are the type of games our Devils need to build a reservoir of experience brimming with the confidence that comes with it. I loved the way our team responded!
OFC
And to top it all off, I got an early Christmas present today: Tickets to my first game at Cameron!
TT held us to no 20 point scorers for the first time this season
Those were called blocking fouls in the 99 National title game
They can hold that L leaving too. Flopping bunch of basterds..Take them bogus refs withm
The Red Raiders are the real deal. Heck of a team. Hard win earned by Duke.
We made free throws too, how about that?!?!?!
If I knew before hand, that at the end of the game, TT would only have one player score in double digits, I would have thought this was a route....
To go with that we are a bit spoiled with this team. Yes we have things to work on. Yes we are not nearly at our ceiling. But we just beat the #12 team in the country and shot as bad as a team can for, well pretty much the entire game. If that isn’t impressive, I don’t know what is.
