get healthy. Finish out the season.Win the ACC tourney and hope for a #1 seed. It is ultra frustrating to have to overcome these many injuries every year.
Some of the comments on game threads are embarsssing. We are all frustrated that we lost, get over it and stop sounding stupid.
He seems like a cool dude at times, I watched a bit with him and his players ad respecting the national anthem. But then at times like in this post game interview, he comes off as a bitter jackass. Complaining about a missed call from a year ago and literally taking in the victory while he's being interviewed.
I wish I could like this 1000 times. The number of people that say "game over" with 8 minutes left is astounding, haha.
We played the toughest conference schedule of any team and battled adversity throughout. Here’s to hoping we are at full strength from here on out.
Absolutely serious....how can you do that and then have it all out in the media about it and come in one game later and coach an egg like this was? Was it just big rah rah for the one game against Syracuse?
That’s Va Tech best game of the year. Sad thing is they won’t make through the 1st weekend of the dance. Beating Duke is the highlight of their season. And Duke pissed away a lot tonight. Mainly a 1 seed unless they win out and win the ACC tourney
I can't believe with as much talent as we've had and the coach we've had why we just cannot win one regular season ACC.
Just couldn't stay completely healthy. Ugh. We'll we can still win the ACCT. Hopefully.

Crazy how you can be virtually locked in for the overall #1 seed and 6 days later it feels like you’re fighting to still have 1 seed.
Of course I don’t want us to lose but I know we are different without Z, the W/L column isn’t my concern. I don’t want to lose out on a 1 seed. Blah.

I hope you will consider applying for the head coaching job at Duke when Coach K retires. You always have all the answers. OFC
We absolutely ARE throwing away a 1 seed. Let's forget for a moment that this was a winnable game against VT, even without Zion and even with Barrett sick. We now have no margin for error once Zion comes back. If we lose to UNC on the road and a game in the ACC tournament, we're a 2 seed.
Poorly coached game tonight. I don't understand Coach K's love affair with Jack after not even playing him against Syracuse (I'll give Coach K some credit and assume Jack was sick against Syracuse, otherwise his rotations tonight were even more inexcusable).
Have to agree with you. Rotations were nonsensical. Certainly not going to turn this into a finger pointing post but we have some major issues if we have Jack or Jav playing starter minutes.
Emotions are a little high right now but we are feeling like a sweet 16 team at best right now. Zion changes things of course.

K-Oach Has terrible takes ALWAYS, I’m not gonna agree with him.
But this wasn’t K’s greatest game. Alex was still hot on O with little play, we showed zero adjustment all night and got ABUSED out of every break.
We don’t run O, which can work when you overwhelm with talent. We’re not out talenting the top of the Acc.... how about gettin Q touches?? How about sitting Tre some, letting RJ run some point with AOC on the wing???? Something!!!
I LOVE Tre but he’s on the hook with Z out, he’s getting exposed, as is Duke.
Good news is we have Zion coming....

It stings but....next play. Teams better get their shots in now before we are 100% come March.
I grateful that I don't know you and we don't watch the games together. You have to be the biggest Duke downer on this board. I just don't get fans like yourself. OFC
We must have watched 2 different games. I saw subpar on my end.
We did
Guess you missed Joe Lunardi saying that he isn’t moving us off the 1 line with a loss tonight. Or how we were the #1 overall seed when we weren’t even ranked #1 when the committee released their only rankings.
The committee takes everything into account including the strength of our wins and the fact that we have been without the NPOY the last week where we picked up 2 of our losses.
Relax man, not everything is doom and gloom because we lost. We didn’t play well, they did.

Get Zion healthy, keep the rotation going, next two should be easy wins. At UNC will be a war though.
I don't understand some of the decisions either , but my god. The guy has like 7 or 8 posts talking about how bad K is. And that's about the only time he posts is when we are struggling: I'm not sure he or she is really even a Duke fan
Especially seeing how we typically lose this game anyways. And this year, it is without the best player on the team.
It's almost literally the only time he posts. He only posts to whine when we're losing. If we ever become a team that loses 9-10 games we won't have to worry about him anymore.
I have a feeling Joey burned his redshirt for 3 minutes of playing time. Maybe he didn't plan on staying longer than three years so it may not matter.
