Should anybody play today? I think Luke is the only one who hasn't received a "get him off the floor" on our board. Much like our team, we don't deal well with adversity on this board.

I hate to say it, but we're getting a little more like THR when things aren't going our way. It's sad.

His play hasn't been good, his whining and leadership is what's driving me today

I'm with you on the whining part especially.

Like a lot of freshmen led teams, manufacturing you're intensity on the road is difficult. Amile of all people needs to be that catalyst and he just hasn't been.

Get Nasty, you're a great poster until game day, then you're the biggest fu#%ing crybaby I've ever seen in my life.
I don't post on game days typically. But when k has no control over this talented of a team I need to vent

Defense is just too poor. Just too poor. Could have been back in this game. We don't even slap the floor anymore

This is reminiscent to games we had in the past. Miami a few time, Clemson (years back), just to name a few. Bad all the way around, and they can't miss. Just as I'm writing another 3 by vtech

It is crazy we look like an all freshman team.

I'm sorry but I'm glad my son don't play for Duke because if any poster called him a brat then to me he doesn't need the name calling and unless you said it to his face posting that nonsense doesn't make you any different

Not playing defense has become a hallmark of coach k led teams over the past 15 years. With the exception of the 2010 team, due has not been able to stop dribble penetration since the days of Shane Battier

Amile saw that dude catch the pass right next to him and didn't even bother running back down the court. Sheesh.

the ladies want buckets, not defensive stops. Unfortunately, we do neither!

Maybe we should sit all our injured superstars and start back at the beginning. We were a much better "team" before we supposedly got healthy

Maybe this loss allows the team to fly under the radar a bit without lofty championship expectations from day one.

It's literally every game thread and literally every post in the game thread. I wonder if some of these more recent posters have noticed that most of the veterans guys rarely if ever post in a game thread.

Remember how many gave up on the 2015 team? No one gave them a chance in March and I believe there is a banner hanging in CIS that has 2015 on it

No, I do blame Grayson. He's a selfish brat who makes everything abliut him. This is his fault. When have you heard of K suspending any player let alone a junior CAPTAIN. Just dismiss Allen already
Bringing your trash to the free board I see.

Go Duke! This game is horrible on the eyes but I still love and stand by my boys.

Keep hearing "for VA Tech to pull off the huge upset". Sorry but this is no upset. They are better than us right now.

Worst things have been said about Duke players...We have short-term memories...i.e. JJ, Josh, Shane, Corey, Jabari, Bobby, Grant, etc...

I'm by NO means siding with anybody questioning K, but this has been one of those games he lets the guys play thru it and learn themselves. Few times we got it to 11-12 I thought he woujd have used 1 or 2. Wish he would have

It's one thing I can't tolerate. No defense. It's unacceptable. Defense takes incredible effort and energy. They may get up to 90 today. Maybe more than that. That's embarrassing. Too much "ole" defense and not making va Tech taking many contested shots.
