***DUKE VS VIRGINIA TECH OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[pisgah101]

They look good on offense again, I'm just not happy with defensive intensity

Why?? I think it looks deff improved..

 

[Dukesince90]

I like it when a Plumlee makes FTs.

He's 8/8 counting Wake game. I hope I didn't jinx him.

 

[pisgah101]

Tim Brandt is kinda weak today.. G-man is awesome tho!

 

[Dukesince90]

I think our Defense looks better too.

 

[DutchDevil]

Allen is so much fun to watch in the open court! Like seeing Thornton push the ball. He is fast.

 

[DukeDenver]

What was that with K and Jeter?

Jeter played some great D, and K is happy. He's finally switching and closing correctly.

 

[dbav]

By the way, Matt is my favorite player on this team.

 

[DutchDevil]

Throw it down big man! Great pass by Brandon to Marshall!

 

[Dukesince90]

I don't care what anybody says, Plumlee has come a long way!

 

[dbav]

Dunks are fun.

 

[DutchDevil]

Great first half!

 

[Dad2ze]

Marshall 2 boards away from having a Double/Double

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

Well for a stretch the defense seemed to fall off, but overall they have turned it up

 

[DukeDenver]

Duke will put up a great first half offensively.
Duke 86
VT 71

I'm primed for the perfect prediction.

 

[Dad2ze]

I'm primed for the perfect prediction.

With the way we started, if they can do it again Duke wins by 50.

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

I hope we come out with the same fire in the second half! Time to keep our foot on their throat and completely dominant this game to the end!

OFC

I wonder how Get Nasty feels about Marshall's play today. Too many dunks still? How's the degree of difficulty on his dunks today- better or worse than Wake?

 

[DutchDevil]

Marshall 2 boards away from having a Double/Double

Marshall is rebounding and attacking the rim on offense with authority! Love his passion!

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

You're correct sir. 2 Personals on Matt

Thanks, Dadz, I thought that was right, but wasn't sure. Hopefully with this lead we can finish them off early in the 2nd half and not have to worry too much about fouls.

OFC

 

[dbav]

I like it when Plumlees don't head fake.

 

[Willcampbell]

Please don't bring him back into it. Haven't you heard what to do with a sleeping dog?
OFC

 

[skysdad]

Be nice to have a 20-5 run to start the second half. Can't get comfortable. Plumlee hitting those free throws. OFC

 

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

You can tell that Plumlee has really been working on his free throw shooting this year. He's made 11 of 12 free throws over between the Wake game and today.

 

[dbav]

I'd like to see Jeter get some minutes soon.

 

[skysdad]

Really nice tribute by G-man at half time about Coach Foster. OFC

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Please don't bring him back into it. Haven't you heard what to do with a sleeping dog?
OFC

Don't think he's sleeping...think DJ euthanized him.

OFC

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Really nice tribute by G-man at half time about Coach Foster. OFC

Yeah, that was great, Sky. You can tell how much Coach Foster meant to him.

OFC

 

[dbav]

Would like to see us use more of the shot clock with a lead like this.

 

[dbav]

I'm really impressed with Ingram as a defender and rebounder. I have been for.the last 5 or 6 games.

 

[skysdad]

OK guys we're getting beat in the second half. Let's get it back together. OFC

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

Nasty isn't real bright

 

[skysdad]

Nasty isn't real bright

Let's forget about Nasty and not even discuss him. OFC

 

[Dad2ze]

Jason Allen??? Does Grayson have a twin

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

I'm really impressed with Ingram as a defender and rebounder. I have been for.the last 5 or 6 games.

Brandon has made quite an improvement, Dbav. He's got the total package.

OFC

 

[Dad2ze]

Thanks, Dadz, I thought that was right, but wasn't sure. Hopefully with this lead we can finish them off early in the 2nd half and not have to worry too much about fouls.

OFC

I think the game was over after the first 5 minutes. Love the way they're playing.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Jason Allen??? Does Grayson have a twin

I hope so...and let's sign him up!

OFC

 

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

Jason Allen??? Does Grayson have a twin

I heard that too and I could've sworn i heard him say Jason Jeter earlier when he was talking about Chase lol

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

I think the game was over after the first 5 minutes. Love the way they're playing.

Yep! I love to have a few games that we don't have to sweat it out! Duke is certainly 'on' today.

OFC

 

[dukiejay]

The game is over. Duke isn't going to match the early intensity. Just a little sloppy.

 

[Dukesince90]

Another great day! Duke basketball at 12, then some playoff football, and hopefully the Holes lose at a Syracuse.
