It's not Capel. These guys clearly don't mesh and like each other very much. They're just going through the motions. K won't make a difference, either.
The last few Women's games I've been too with my daughter, I've seen the same 3 guys hanging out and no one else with them. Giles, Tatum, and Bolden. Doesn't mean much but when you see the other guys they're always with someone else. Not these three though.

Something about his voice and his hatred for Duke makes me wanna punch him in the throat
Yeah and when a Wake player makes a simple move to the basket, according to him it's a "French pastry" or some stupid *** description that no one understands.

High school basketball promotes offense way too much. Give me guys who can defend the basketball over these supposed stud recruits.

The coaches on this staff should be embarrassed with the way this team runs offense. A JV coach could do a better job. It's like they've never practiced before.

I do t know if this team doesn't want to or is incapable of playing defense. Maybe both. They have got to get tired of getting laid up on all the time and seeing people shooting open shots all the time.

Offensively challenged, defensively challenged, no heart, they would be hard pressed to beat a D3 team right now, let alone an ACC team.

Blame AAU not high school ball. And this is just sickening. It's not capels fault and K won't matter.

I'd be shocked if we won this game. Shocked.

I'm by no means saying I think we lose every game from here on out, but there aren't any games I'd circle on the calender as a for sure win. That sucks.

I am sure this Duke team is driving the Alumni players nuts - Battier, Jwill, Hurley, Laettner, Grant Hill etc....maybe they should pay a visit and see if they can get through to this group..because at this point they are embarrassing the program.

I miss 90s basketball, not necessarily because there were fewer one-n-dones but because that was the last time I remember anybody playing defense.

Not one guy on this team plays defense. To single out Kennard is foolish. None of them give a damn about the defensive end of the floor. They all look lost.

This is on coaches and players. Selfish players. Poor defense. No effort. Maybe k can come back and cancel the season. It's not as if they act like they want to play for Duke.

Just amazing how bad this team is. They will not get a bid which is beyond belief.

I think coaching makes a huge difference....watching these games I don't think we have one..JMO...these guys are lost and Capel has no continuity to rotations and no adjustments to the game...I think the players probably know he doesn't have a clue either....

It's continual throw people in and hope something hits..many many adjustments that could be made that are not being made...

If you are making them and they are not doing them...then their *** should see the bench and never get up...

Does this team accept an NIT bid if it comes down to it? This team will not make the dance unless something changes ina hurry

The reality is that this team just isn't good. There's no purpose whatsoever. It's almost as if they wish they could be someplace else. It's disappointing...but it is what it is.

I wouldn't give Duke but two more wins right now and both will be at home sucks but this isn't Duke this is a bunch of wanna be stars trying to get to the league.
