I'm still concerned with Amile. Is he still hurting. He is such a huge part of this team in the middle. Anybody know what's going on?

No disrespect to Kenard, he is a really good scorer, reminds me of Chris Mullins. BUT, Allen is a damn stud! Duke will go as far as Allen can lead them. Tatum is showing why he was so hyped (stop shooting that fade away), and the role players are solid. Best of all, I don't think they're as good as they can be. How scary is that for every other team?

I went to ESPN News to see if they had some post game coverage. I stead they have a 15 minute interview with John Cena. Awesome.

I see what you're saying but He wasn't bad. He had a tough assignment tonight with Meeks. That's a large boy for him to guard. Duke won the rebounding battle and he played a big part in that. That part shouldn't get overlooked

Several on THR saying berry should have got an and-1 on the play when Kennard fouled berry about 5 minutes before berry shot.
Heck THR would complain if they shot 30 free throws and Duke didn't shoot 1. They would whine for 10 more FTs. Hole fans truly are the whiniest fan base in college hoops

Ten minutes and 6 points for Giles. He is consistently giving productive minutes. He has a lot of offensive potential. This team still needs a scoring option in the post and he could end up being it.

His defense on Meeks was spectacular tonight. Spectacular! The most I remember them discussing Meeks was when he pulled down his first rebound of the game.....in the SECOND half!

Amile didn't score much, but he does a lot of stuff that goes unnoticed.

Like the kid a ton. He truly does get better all the time. It's a damn shame he wasn't healthy from the onset.

If you don't "like" this post, you are a Nazi and should be deported.

Allen and Kennard run the show, Tatum feeds off of them, Duke is a good team.

I think Tatum has accepted the challenge to involve his teammates and not settle for a low percentage shot. His development is crucial and I will gladly eat crow if he ends up being a great player. I have given him plenty of ****, that's for sure

BIG win for confidence - 75% of the game we did a great job defensively and we rebounded like men...to me that was the key - limited the second chance points in the paint and played hard on that end. Tatums second half was a coming out party i hope and he starts to dominate games in the flow of the offense.
Oh and by the way - GTHC, GTH
Wonder how many still want bench him

Wow, weird. No posts from Butterbutt and carolinablew yet, they usually always post 30 seconds after our games.
Don't worry DevilWildcat who hasn't been here since we've been on the winning streak is over there saying they're the better team. Call it even.

Hats off to the Crazies. Their quality is really put into perspective when you turn on the UCLA game, and they are hosting the #5 team in the country and there are visible open seats in the first few rows.
My wife and I were talking about the exact same thing afterwards. There is no place like Cameron.

thr melt down. Whining about refs, whining about Coach K and whining about Grayson. OFC
Sky it's like reading the comics or entering the Twilight Zone. Just have to say they are the most childish sports team fan base I have ever seen or read. They never miss an opportunity to make fun of other players, especially Grayson and isn't that calling Grayson The Tripster, Trip, Tripey Allen and other silly and childish stupid names just the coolest thing you have ever heard of. They are so hip with their silly comments its enough to turn stomachs 360 degrees. Man the loonies at THR are like a 5 year old child when you take their candy bar from them, they just cannot quit squalling like a baby with a ****** diaper. Talk about crybabies, reading about the zebras laying it to them, talking about how they hate Grayson more than humanly possible, how K is a disgusting pos, how Duke sets illegal screens, fouls on nearly every drive to the basket, bla, bla this and bla bla that.

THEY ARE FRIGGIN SICKENING and I despise most of them like the worthless aholes they must want the world to see them as. Thats all I have to say about that.

Here's something they need to be talking about. We played better. Hell, WE OUTREBOUNDED THEM ! They sucked at the stripe. Grayson and Luke played fantastic, our defense was great and then there's that poster Jayson drew up all over Meeks FACE ! God , what a game.

I agree would be nice to get 15-20 points combined from Giles, Jefferson and Bolden

Haha of course they would! Nevermind that the continuation rule has no part in the rulebook for College Basketball.

Yea I saw that! Can't stand when certain Duke fans run over there and tell them how great they are and they are better than Duke! I'm not sure if I would even call them TRUE Duke fans!:eek:

CIS was jumping last night! Kudos to the insane crowd.

Tatum dunk was filthy. Jax gave us quality mins with Grayson in foul trouble.

Full team effort. Sky is the limit with this team now!

Really proud of our guys. They fought the entire night. Even when unc got the lead they kept punching back. Jayson was an absolute man in the second half. Luke and Grayson are starting to become one of those big time Duke backcourts that we have had in the past. The role players are filling in nicely and I think we can still get a lot better.

Here we are- start of February. "If we are still having these issues at the start of February then color me concerned."

Stay the course and trust in K.

WHAT A WIN!

I always knew this Duke team has the potential to be something special! Last night shows that. Here's to hoping Duke will build on this momentum heading to March!
