ND up 13 on Duke. Have been scoring at will in the paint so far.
I sense twenty "Duke will be our 2 seed" posts coming right up!

Duke defense is atrocious

i should say.. Duke doesn't know what defense is.

As good as Okafor looks on offense, his defense is laughable...

I'm shocked at all the and-1s ND is getting. Bray is executing a brilliant gameplan. Looks like the student has become the teacher.

Walk the ball up court, wait for Duke to fall asleep, throw the ball inside for a score, walk back down court. watch Duke shoot.

Is that about it?

So far so good. ND will have to keep up the intensity in the 2nd.

That aside, he has more post moves than our entire frontline minus Towns. Can't stand him, but he is hard to stop.

Refs don't make sense.

Either way, Duke might win this...this game shows why Duke has major concern.

Their defense is just...TERRIBLE...

And this is against small sized defensive team. Imagine team like UK was playing right now. It would be one of those historic beat down at half.

I get the idea that good interior passing is the key to breaking down Dukes defense. They rotate poorly, and Oakafor can't guard worth a crap. Their guards pressure the ball well, but they can't stop drives from getting in the paint. I feel like Ulis would have no issues breaking down either Cook or Jones off the dribble. Same for Andrew who would just get them on his hip and overpower them.

We have big guards, Lyles in the middle of the zone, and the best front court to challenge and make Oakafor work. Winslow is a tough matchup but I think we handle them everywhere else. Not worried about Duke, unless they shoot ridiculous from outside.

Duke's easy points in the paint would be much more contested against us.

Side note, what is up with the hair trend going on with that team? Bird nest?

ND withstood one charge. Can they take another. It'd be funny to see ND/UNC in the ACC final with all the talk about Duke and UVa. Been a fairly crazy day in college basketball. More madness to come tomorrow I'm sure.

No, just stop. If he was in a UK uniform you would say he was the greatest center since Wilt. Just stop, it's not true and you know it. he does a chicken wing sometimes but so does KAT and Dakari. Give credit where it's due, the guy is a heck of a center, one of the best we have seen in many years period.

Okafor could literally grab his defender by the neck, slam him to the ground, and still not get called for an offensive foul.

How many people would foul out if our bigs got the Pukafor treatment in the paint?

You must not have watched that play a bit ago.
