Damnit we're so close but the foul situation is catching up to us now. Did I mention I can't stand Thomas?

I'm confused why Manning doesn't have Thomas in there....but I'm not complaining.

Wake is scoring with ease right now.

Hot damn Kennard!!!!

They're scoring every time down in less than 10 seconds. We have to defend better.

Turning point in the game was a self inflicted technical by wake. The score fluctuated a couple times after that but it first put Thomas in foul trouble and with him on the bench for most of the second half they didn't have the fire power to go bucket for bucket with us....good gritty game by our squad though

Boy was I wrong and so glad I was. This team is getting better and better offensively, just hope the defense can keep inproving.

I'm a positive guy, but when Matt & Grayson both picked up their 4th fouls (after a barrage of questionable foul calls)...and with a ton of time left...well, I didn't think much of our chances. These guys showed what they're made of. Great win for Duke.

It was Only wake and the 2nd conf game so I hate to sound over the top Rah Rah....


But that was a GREAAATTTTT WIN!!!! Absolutely big time team performance!!! For all the praise this K guy gets he might be completely underrated!!!

Could talk about lotta guys but Luke sticks out to me as would could turn into a savior. That kid had it ALL

Probably not a huge win but what a huge effort tonigh. This win will go a LONG ways with this team.

GO DUKE

I don't think I've ever seen a Duke team more poised on offense at the end of a game on the road. Kennard Thorton Allen Plumlee Ingram were awesome and played tough. This coaching staff is not too bad either.

Well guys, you just saw a very gutsy performance by a very young team. I don't care if it was Wake Forest, they are not that bad of a team and they were at home. What a confidence builder for these guys, especially Luke & Marshall.
Damn, I'm proud of the effort, even with all the foul trouble we had. Sure, we can find things to pick at, but come on, how many of us really expected this!
It's still early in the season and we have a lot of tough games to go, but you cannot deny these kids are improving. And don't forget, everybody else has a lot of tough games to go also!!
Go Duke!!

Good win. Gutsy. Two straight road games on the road with a very young team and scored about 90 a game. Had foul trouble with important players yet won by double digits. Bodes well. Get well Amile because we are getting better and you are the missing piece

Didn't see the game. Worked the rec league. Checked the stats and was pleased too see we shot the ball well especially the free throws. see Marshall had a good game along with the steady Grayson and Luke shooting the ball well. Really concerned about Jeter and his confidence. He really needs a break out game fast. OFC

I would not worry too much about OB or Jeter. They are just not ready and may not be this year.

Great win for sure. Marshall's reverse completely drained Thomas at the end - he was deflated. This team showed some grit! Glad I was wrong on the score. Boom.

BTW I cannot stand Elmore, but did anyone catch his comment on Kennard?

"everyone is the gym knows he's a lefty except for the guy who is guarding him......" I thought that was hilarious.
