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

Plus, Duke is running a few different sets they normally don't....they're kind of using this as a glorified practice.

One more thing....how natural and all-around of a scorer is Luke? He just has such a knack. He's going to be such a good player....and he's already exceeding my expectations.

 

[dbav]

Jeter with a Plumlee tip out.

 

[dbav]

I thought bench warnings only happened in football.

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

I'm happy with how this team is coming together. I'm ready to see how they fair aginst another top team, to gauge how we've really come

 

[Dukesince90]

DT shows flashes, just waiting for the bulb to stay on.

I see that but the whole momentum of the game as swung. The crowd is not as loud, the players are not as active and V.T. is playing better and controlling the game. As of this post it's a 9-0 V.T. run. This is not good. Losing that big of a lead so quickly. OFC

Luke is soooooo good, and he does all the little things well. Are we lucky fans or what?

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

OFC

The rebounding is done in such an athletic way too. That wingspan with the vertical makes him very effective.

 

[dbav]

Although, Ingram could stand to get some more FT practice, haha.

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

This second half has offered little to get into. I'm glad we had a big lead. I understand it's hard to keep that kind of intensity and they are probably working on different things. I'm just happy to get a win.

 

[Dukesince90]

Plumvp!

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Although, Ingram could stand to get some more FT practice, haha.

Just what I was thinking! He's shooting 64%,,,if he could get that up to 70-75% it would be nice.

OFC

 

[Dattier]

Very disappointed with Marshall. After the game he had AT Wake, he should be shooting better than 100% at home.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Plumlee...Plumlee...Plumlee! Career high 24 points for the big guy! Hitting his fts too!

OFC

 

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

I posted in the game thread for the game against Wake Forest that I hoped that Marshall would get himself a 20 point game before the end of the season, he didn't waste anytime that's for sure lol

He has struggled today- tired legs.

 

[dbav]

OFC

It would easily mean 4 to 6 more points a game.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Okay, my mistake...Marshall with 21 points (still a career high) plus 10 rebounds, and 9 of 10 from the ft line.

OFC

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

Proud of Marshall

 

[DukeDenver]

Let's not "get nasty" gentlemen. I have a feeling Marshall is on an upward arc. Let's take a look at his next 3-4 games then revisit this.

Called it for Plum3 in the Wake thread.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

It would easily mean 4 to 6 more points a game.

And maybe the difference between winning and losing a tight NCAA game. Thank goodness we have 2 great ft shooters in Grayson, and Luke.

OFC

 

[dbav]

Good team game today.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Called it for Plum3 in the Wake thread.

Denver, shoot me an email with the winning Powerball numbers...quickly!

OFC

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Good team game today.

Loved it! 3-0 in the ACC!

OFC

 

[pisgah101]

This team is coming together. We've improved a lot of just the past couple weeks... I'm started to get more excited

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Great win over those crybabies from Blacksburg

If you want a good laugh go to their message board and look at all the threads on the refs

those idiots really think they refs had something to do with their loss today LOL

 

[Dattier]

Can anyone who was actually at the game and who has actually played and dunked tell us why we actually suck?

Just asking for a friend. Thanks in advance... for my friend.

 

[DevilDJ]

Plumlee...Plumlee...Plumlee! Career high 24 points for the big guy! Hitting his fts too!

I know a guy that's 5'11 and can dunk, he might be able to help you out.
I'm sorry I'm no help. I'm 6'3 and run slow and jump low.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Hahahaha...AWESOME, DevilDJ!!! A great 'shop! This made my day, thanks for posting!

Hahaha....well played.

 

[Dad2ze]

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

I heard that too. Jason was on his mind

 

[Leo2Wes]

That last one DukeSince would make it truly SUPER SATURDAY

 

[DukeDyNasty22]

Noticed when Brandon Ingram shots his free throws his eyes follow the ball all the way to the rim instead of locked on the rim. Just something I've noticed watching him struggle at the line. Has to improve that aspect going into tough environments

 

[QC Dukie]

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

Anyone else notice when Brandt does our games how loud and excited he gets when our opponent makes a good play, and how monotone his voice is after a Duke three pointer or dunk?

OFC

 

[Get Nasty]

Called it for Plum3 in the Wake thread.

That was definitely an all around awesome game from Marshall, hope he keeps that intensity and defensive effort up.

 

[QC Dukie]

And our boy Plum. Did he "get nasty" again today or what? Kinda stinks that he hasnt developed much though.

OFC

 

[BOOGIEMAN1914]

Great team effort though the 2nd half got a bit boring...goduke

 

[Get Nasty]

The Kentucky game was awhile ago. Hope he does it Again next week. I'm glad i could motivate him, he clearly played pissed at me.

Hahahaha...AWESOME, DevilDJ!!! A great 'shop! This made my day, thanks for posting!

Leroy Corso from C-Sux did that one. Anyway...
