***DUKE VS VIRGINIA TECH - NCAA TOURNAMENT SWEET SIXTEEN OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[Jnood]

Barrett keeps pausing, instead of instantly d-ing up

 

[denverexpat]

awesome interview with VT coach!...he's right...and it plays the same on our defense

 

[crazyduke3]

Come on Duke. Step up!!!

 

[BeerPoisoning]

It’s a a miracle that we’re only 4 points down. Just think how bad we’d be if Tre Jones wasn’t 3-4 from 3PT

.... lol never thought I’d say that......

 

[Louisville Crazie]

Not the best half but it’s the first half. We can rebound from this, don’t forget about the fight these guys have... it will be tougher without cam but it’s possible.

 

[tclark6]

This just feels like a trap game...no way we should be playing Tech right now!

 

[BlueDaveil]

Reddish couldn’t even give it a shot? Guess he can sit and watch his draft position plummet

is your last name Ball by chance?

 

[SoCal_Dukie3]

Buzz is funny in his interviews lol

 

[Bludvls1]

All we need is RJ to be average. Not stellar or incredible, just an average game that’s hes played all season.

 

[FearTheBeard_rivals208808]

Need to play better on offense. No rhythm.

Switching on the outside on defense is fine unless it leaves your guy wide open.

Most importantly, they need to PLAY MAD! We need to see more emotion out there!

 

[K-oach Q]

I’m not sure RJ can do more than what he’s doing assisting...they are jamming him up all over..he needs to not take dumb shots and facilitate..

Remember the first game against VT we made our run when RJ took over PG duties and was just making plays for himself and others..

VT is hellbent on not letting him attack the paint..it’s a sellout every time from them.

 

[Duke Blu]

There are two halfs in college basketball folks. This team has been a second half team majority of the year. It’s a four point game.

 

[SoCal_Dukie3]

Here’s the part where dbav days “keep fighting fellas!” Lol

 

[SWEc/o95]

We can start by defending the perimeter...

 

[chov1125]

Our youth is never more visible than when we try to adjust after an injury. We just can never get on track.

 

[pisgah101]

Rj needs a seat next to Barrett and let the MAN have the ball.

 

[Ioliva]

I just don’t understand how Zion started red hot then we went away from feeding him down low. He needs to stop coming up and trying to drive. He’s unstoppable off the block. That’s where the offense needs to be focused

 

[tripleb71]

We gotta figure this out. They are rushing to double when RJ and Zion get the ball but because we don't pass the ball around enough we are being forces to take tough shots.

 

[Mac9192]

Let’s see what adjustments K makes. We haven’t played well, but only down 4. They are doing a good job so far on RJ and Zion.

Alex hit some shots young man. If you do, we play Michigan State.

 

[denverexpat]

so far orgnanized defense is greater than unorganized offense. Half time correction needed or yet another dream team goes home

 

[pisgah101]

Buzz is very likable

 

[dbav]

Here’s the part where dbav days “keep fighting fellas!” Lol

Seriously, just have another and go to bed if you're not interested in supporting your team. Or keep embarrassing yourself. It's up to you really.

 

[chov1125]

Even Zion has looked very shaky with the ball the last couple of games. If he catches it in the post it’s still lights out, but when he’s on the perimeter and goes to drive, his dribble is loose and constantly being knocked away.

 

[FearTheBeard_rivals208808]

Lots of <100 posts people in this thread.

Trolls....What a sad life that must be.

 

[SoCal_Dukie3]

Seriously, just have another and go to bed if you're not interested in supporting your team. Or keep embarrassing yourself. It's up to you really.

Keep fighting fellas!

Too bad your bum azz can’t see what I’m doing lol

Hint: UNC will beat Auburn

 

[K-oach Q]

I really want to see a magical K coaching moment where he takes over the game with adjustments..

 

[dbav]

Keep fighting fellas!

Too bad your bum azz can’t see what I’m doing lol

Lol, lolol, lololol... haha, loser

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

RJ was terrible the first half against VT in the game at Blacksburg also. Things change quickly. K will make some adjustments, and it's up to our guys to execute. Go Duke!

OFC

 

[chov1125]

It’s all mindset right now. If we find the proper mindset and get back to what we’ve been doing all year, well blow the doors off this half. If we continue to play right and a step slow we’ll get our doors blown off. Really just a mentality right now. Tech is not scared, we can’t be either.

 

[SoCal_Dukie3]

Lol, lolol, lololol... haha, loser

Keep fighting fellas!

 

[sheyduke]

If you only have two core scorers the opponent is gonna lock in on the one they can stop.

Barret has seven assist yet this looks like Blackburg all over again.

Duke has to stop the three or simply put they will join UNC tonight back at home

 

[Jnood]

Can we please just blow them out this half?

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Bottom line is they are outhustling us and just want it more

Do we come out 2nd half pissed off or continue to take stupid shots? Time will tell

 

[pisgah101]

I really don’t understand how we can have the game we had Sunday and come out like this. Blows my mind

 

[LONMUNU]

I’d love for us to play like the season was on the line out of the half. Just an old fashion Duke blitz the first 5 minutes.

 

[Lavar5150]

is your last name Ball by chance?

Sorry but you give it a shot in sweet 16. Looks soft to me

 

[Mr.Scary13]

So let's talk Reddish...who wants to speculate what's going on?

 

[dukesince91]

RJ with the dumbest drive/charge of the game.

Not really, he

Here’s the part where dbav days “keep fighting fellas!” Lol

if you're trying to earn Biggest Prick Award, you're there. Lol

 

[FearTheBeard_rivals208808]

We need an AOC or Jack sighting in the second half.

 

[SoCal_Dukie3]

I really don’t understand how we can have the game we had Sunday and come out like this. Blows my mind

It’s called fear....
