***DUKE VS YALE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[Showenuff]

I think the main thing is, we need to learn how to play defense.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

They're getting into the paint at will. D is going to have to improve or else.

OFC

 

[LetsGoDuke301]

Kennard and Ingram made a basket!

 

[Crank_it_loud]

Why do they continue to do 4 out, 1 in with Jefferson in the middle? Great defensive player but he's getting worked on the boards.

 

[denverexpat]

Ingram just cant defend anyone of size

 

[spike05rk]

So far this is hard to watch.

 

[Showenuff]

Watch that charge on Plumlee in slow mo, flop EFFIN city.

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

I don't think I should watch anymore. I'm aggrivated.

 

[DukeDenver]

Relax gents, we'll get it together soon. Halftime adjustments will solve offense.

Also they've got fouls.

 

[DukeSky85]

At least were hitting free throws

 

[dbav]

The 1-3-1 has been effective.

 

[denverexpat]

Even Yale's guards can penetrate...troubling

 

[LH24ND]

Sad sack defensive team effort so far.

 

[duhondukie]

Chase Jeter finds ways to score in the post. He is the only option that can play with his back to the basket. Would love to see more of him

 

[dbav]

Great adjustment by K to go to the 1-3-1. I'd like to see more Jeter and less Plumlee in the second half. We woke up a little in those last few minutes.

 

[duhondukie]

Ingram was a little better but man any contact on him and he is done.

 

[Mpm277]

Duke struggling bad with Yale at CIS.... Sheesh.

 

[Crank_it_loud]

I really appreciate what Marshall has done, but he needs to come off of the bench. Let jeter play, please let him play!

 

[Dad2ze]

Been out shopping to return to this???? Shoulda stayed out shopping

 

[Showenuff]

They are taking an azzwhoopin in that locker room right now. Stay with the zone K.

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

Once we thought this would be a great defensive team. I guess maybe I did get my hopes up to high, and I guess I should temper my expectations and let Coach K handle it. The seasons early and so is this team. Sometimes the roller coaster is the best ride at the park so enjoy the ups and downs it'll be over before we know it.

 

[JCColsCane]

Tough game, Yale has that experience on their side. Much more cohesive than Duke at this point in time. I really don't think they will fold in this game, we will just have to pick up the defensive intensity in the 2nd half, and probably will have to wax hot to pull this one out.
I think that's exactly what we will do!!
Go Duke!!

We thought Ingram would be good on defense. He simply isn't at this point. He's long but slow to react. Grayson and Derryck can't stay in front at all. Otherwise we're OK, but those three get us scrambling on D consistently.

 

[dbav]

Can't help but notice Thornton isn't out there to start the half.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

I'm just glad we weren't down at the half. We'll be okay.

OFC

 

[dbav]

Better energy to start the 2nd half. K must have really gotten into them at the half like Show said.

 

[Mpm277]

Smart decision by Grayson to spot Matt out on the three.

 

[dbav]

Allen has gotten a hand on at least 3 passes this half. Good stuff.

 

[dbav]

Grayson. Just wow.

 

[Showenuff]

We still have no offensive flow, it's all rigid and mechanical. Gotta get going, Yale can easily steal this one.

 

[dbav]

Ingram doing well on the offensive glass this half.

 

[LH24ND]

No interior defense at all. None

 

[dbav]

Jones has that floater down to a science.

 

[dbav]

Good second half for Matt.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Don't fall for the 'it's only Yale'...this is a good team Duke is playing. Our guys are getting some valuable experience tonight.

Yale is picked to win the ivy which makes them pretty legit to me

 

[dbav]

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen the 1-3-1 before. Ingram's wingspan really has an impact on the top. The guy at the bottom of that zone has a ton of ground to cover. Reminds me of Justise in the Championship game.

Also nice to see one go through for Kennard.

 

[Showenuff]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA ! Matt just hit the worlds ugliest 3. But I'll take it, LOL

 

[GTHC_ GTH!]

Is there anyway we can give Ingram Thanksgiving meal 3 times a day everyday?

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Yeah, it's not your father's Ivy League anymore!
