Damn, I wish these kids were mature enough to know it's not over yet! I'm going to say it one last time, Battle, Battle, Battle! Reach down deep.
Go Duke!!

Killer series of plays starting with the missed Thornton shot and a forced 3 by Grayson.

Thornton and Jones SUCK

They are the least of this team's worries. This hasn't felt like a "Duke" team all year. Rarely any assists, no semblance of defense, poor in court communication and despite that, they are in the Sweet 16 which no one expected and quite honestly should t have expected.

Seriously of all times, no is not the time to air one's grievances. With a limited team and limited bench, they did some nice things this season. Can't win em all.

Oregon is a pretty smart team to go with their athletic players. They have played great defense and realize they can let guys like Thornton and Plumlee go free and won't be hurt.

This game is all but over, given our play and the bad match-ups.

Derryck wasn't ready. It's OK. We did alright this year.

These refs suck, but in both directions.

On to the offseason. Lots to look forward to.

We need a PG plain and simple.

We have one. Derryck has actually had an ok game game. He won't take a shot (which most of you begged for anyway) and most of his interior passes have been kicked out or dropped.

When you all get out of your feelings and look at this thing and season rationally, you'll realize Derryck wasn't our main problem this year.

Derryck's stupid missed layup took this from what coulda been Duke down by 6/7 to down big. Stupid mistake. Hopefully he gets that worked out in summer. Kid has decent handles but passes and shooting is subpar

We could have survived this game with a good PG..one that can break the press..breakdown this zone..distribute/create for shooters..and hit a few open shots.

We havent really improved through the season. Blame it on depth, youth or whatever other factor but we didnt get better or tougher to beat. These young teams have been a roller coaster - the ups of a National Championship is brilliant but the lack of the old Duke defense is hard to watch - we used to hammer teams on D and on the offense...not sure we get that back next year either with all the new talent coming in
