Much better performance by Branson tonight! Hope he continues to improve, we need his scoring!

his points were garbage points. Brandon is exactly what people expected of him BEFORE the McDonalds week. He's not a OAD player... Or at least he shouldn't be
Thought Ingram looked better tonight. Really liked that 1-3-1. It looks like a form of organized chaos, haha.
Good to see Luke hit one near the end. I like everything Jeter shows when he's in. Thornton was quiet but managed the game well at the end.
Really great to see how steady Matt and Amile are.

I thought our defense would be advance this year but so far that hasn't been the case, it's been frustrating to watch.
But we won and I'm proud of our team. Glad to see Brandon had a good game today

Well, Marshall didn't start producing until the end of his redshirt senior year. He's not close to Marshall yet
This team is like a big puzzle to me. We have 10 or so puzzle pieces that don't fit together precisely just yet. Some fit much better than others but some are not ready. One or two of them may take a good bit more time to work properly if they ever actually do. Its frustrating because we know what we all want and thats a team that plays well together by shooting well, playing really tough defense, rebounding and having limited mistakes. I would like to see us win pretty every game.

MP3 tried to post up and demanded the ball on many occasions. But why? We all know he won't be able to do anything with the ball in that situation. Not sure why he would not come out to set a screen for Allen at the wing instead. We didn't really set a screen for Allen to let him get in the paint. That would have been the best offense strategy against Yale. He is quick enough for Yale with the help of screen.
I see there's a lot of talk about Duke's D not being up to snuff, but holding any D1 team to 39% from the floor, forcing 13 turnovers and 26% from three is pretty good. And Yale is always in contention in the Ivy.
It might not be the Duke defense we're accustomed to, that "Duhon-slap-the-floor man-to-man", but they are doing well creating turnovers and scoring off of those opportunities. I'm satisfied this early in the year.
