Seriously man. I get down too, I'm a glass half empty type of guy, but some of these people make me look like a ray of sunshine.
You haven't and never will see me post anything negative about a player or this team. Some don't think about the effort these guys put out. Our standards are not what they should be judged by in my opinion. Heart and fight is all that matters at the end of the day.

Insane that we are tied.

I've not seen Duke (with Zion) play that badly all year and we are tied.

Goldwire and Vrankovic were a huge boost and they both played great defense.

Did you not see the Louisville game? We were beyond abysmal for 28 minutes

I have no problem with Javin watching and cheering along with reddish. Sometimes the best lesson is riding the pine

we missed a bunch of layups in that half and gave points away so tied at half is a victory. Bitching about people venting is dumb, everyone loves the team but get frustrated by poor shooting, dumb turnovers and easy misses...or missed FT's...it happens. No one needs to leave, its not always a happy world during games but we all pull to win! A fan is a fan, frustrated, elated, mad, or calm..lets win this half!!!

Vrank and Goldwire hopefully inspired everyone to pick it up in the second half. Funny how unexpected guys can come in and light the fire. Remember Big Z in 2010 doing this at the end of the regular season, the ACCT and NCAAT.

I think Zion got the record for most consecutive field goals for Duke. He was tied with 19, and I think he made his first shot tonight (before missing), and that would be 20 in a row.

If you are saying you thought or knew Vrank and Goldwire would be playing this great and be two of the keys to the 1st half come back, you're a liar.

But, that's the reason Duke is tied.

I have a feeling we have not seen Zion’s best half this game. If we can keep them out of transition and in the half court good things should happen.

One thing I noticed is you usually hit percentage from three. So it is a curse to teams who come out and go 5-8, because they think they will keep hitting, but that is when they go 3-for their next 12

I think Roy is getting beat at his own game tonight. K wants to wear coby down because He hasn't come out of the game but few minutes

The Cheats are good. They’re more mature and it shows. But, I love the fight and intensity of Zion. We need RJ and Cam to get a big play and show the same intensity to start a big run that takes over the game.

Vrank to Goldwire halfway through the first half of UNCheat vs Duke in the ACCT semis. <—sentence I never thought I’d write, but I love it!

We actually did a great job defensively the last 10 minutes after the rough start....if we can keep that up we'll be in good shape.

I'll say it again...if Cam get out of his head and shoot without thinking about it then we'll be sitting pretty.

How on the world is it tied? Amazing!
We have the Goat and not some here in charge lol. They may not win, but I'm good with the fight and heart they showed against the cheats playing lights out at first. They came back down to earth. The GOAT should start the lineup that brought us back until it no longer work.
