These Duke Boys got the message after the State showing. Way to bounce back and show haters don't believe everything you see. The fight was there from the tip, all I can ask for.

Player of the game has to be JRob. He kept that spread in tact
I would love to see him get a few more minutes. I think he truly can contribute for a few mins. Rotate him with Vern and Jav.
Double bye clinched in Acc tourney
Nice game to watch. Feel for VT’s coach. I’m not the best at reading lips, but I could of sworn that when he was just shaking K’s hand, he said “I was leaving at half but I couldn’t find my da%# car keys.”
2 straight road games then back home for the last 2. Wake, you up next!
Lost a little intensity the second but it's hard to keep pace with what we did in the 1st half. Credit to VT for not quiting. Great to see J Rob get some production. On to the next game. OFC
Another great day and it seems like I have said that numerous times this year. We win by double digits and the Cheats lose by double digits. We bounced back better than I thought we would have. So proud of them. Only thing I wish for was Joey and Wendell would have made a basket or two for their confidence.
I would love to see Justin get a few minutes instead of Javin. It may end with the same result but at least he is not a liability on the offensive end.
It's at Wake Dirt, and we better be ready. It's their national championship game, and just like State, they will be ready!!!

That’s how you come out and dominate from jump. Let’s figure out how to do that on the road now.
Man, the highs when we play well are great but the lows when we lose to less talented teams are low - just a level of consistency would be awesome. They definitely got the message from the State game so lets hope it continues to the end of the season and not just one game.
It has to be politics. A walk on has to be much better than a scholarship player to get in. If they’re pretty much even the scholarship player gets the BOD. Gotta justify that scholarship. I personally think J ROB is better than Javin though. Every time he gets in he makes a play on defense or offense. I thought he would play this year after how bad he did Tre in the scrimmage
J-Rob has an unbelievable blocks per minute percentage.. there are definitely games where he could be more productive than Javin.. I love having Justin on our team, but I’m curious how his career would have been if he went to a smaller school and got playing time.
I think everyone likes Justin Robinson. Javin is Javin. He might go 3-4 games giving us very little, then be a factor in a win. But I’m not quite as high on Robinson as some here. He does what he does against the other teams scrubs. He blocks shots, but look who he’s doing it against. I can’t help but think if he was better, he’d have gotten decent minutes against better players.
J Gold was pretty much doing the same thing until he got a chance. After that, he just kind of took off. Never know what a guy can do against better competition until given a chance. Nothing wrong with testing him when Duke is up huge early in the second halves and see what he can do while the other teams starters are in the game. We got players that seem to be stuck on the same performance they had as freshman for the most part, but get more minutes now.
Last night and other games, I personally think it wouldn't have hurt to rotate him in for a few min. Not complaining, but that's 5 fouls and a little more rest for Vern. One thing nobody can deny regardless of the competition is the fact he is extremely consistent when giving his few minutes throughout his time at Duke.
