I can't believe they called #4 on Cam but then didn't call that foul on Taco.

And now DeLaurier with 4.

I'm glad Reddish is out, he was hurting us.

But the way they are playing defense, we are in trouble ...

Foul trouble, Zion not touching the ball, and shooting 3 after 3 is going to spell disaster

Even the refs won’t help us practically body checks Zion for no call is infuriating

I’ll pull for a win, but this team has seemed to have lost their will. Not sure why they’re going through the motions, but at this pace UCF will sneak out with the W.

Their defense is suffocating Duke because we simply can't shoot 3s.

But, the short bench and not playing O'Connell hurts. He needed to get some PT early to get some warm up and we could use some better shooting.

This is a game where O'Connell's shooting could help us. Goldwire, DeLaurier, and Jones not being able to shoot allows UCF to just pack the paint.

Zion can't let that no-call affect him. That's exactly what he needs to be doing.

That noncall on Taco was so horribly bad. I’m so mad right now. Then they call a tick tack foul on javin the very next play. SMH.

Just a tough game...tough matchup but the officiating doesn’t help us..pretty much every single thing is going against us and that usually ends up bad...

I don't think it's that. I think UCF is controlling the tempo. Not turning the ball over and their defense is really, really good.

Nowhere to go for the offense.

The only one open is Zion from 3 and they are happy to let him shoot from there every time. Dawkins knows the Achilles heel for Duke.

I don’t think they lost their will...but we can’t do anything inside with Fall so we have fallen in love with the jumper..first half we had an anomaly shooting now we seem to be back to normal...

Goes beyond this game though. If they survive, VT is going to get in their azz if they play anything like this.
