I hate everything about Duke. Their students are a bunch of corny losers. Heels need to lock in and whoop that candy ass

79-73 Heels. You can't beat UNC at home without hitting quite a few threes and driving with a fast PG.
HD...this is your chance to keep your job and get us into the 4-seed/top 10 discussion next week.

Let's win this one guys. Feels like the biggest game in quite a while for many different reasons. My nerves will be rough today. I want to watch the game but not sure I want to put myself through it. Should I do the usual and tape it only to watch if we win? Or should I labor through it living and dying by every point and rebound?

Ehaus57 said:My most sane method is to check the box score a few minutes in. If it's close for a while, then I'll turn it on. However, this is a home game, which we rarely lose. Turn it on and enjoy until you have a reason not to. lolLet's win this one guys. Feels like the biggest game in quite a while for many different reasons. My nerves will be rough today.

Beat their ass in to the ground and do not let them get up! “Terminate with extreme prejudice!”

Key to this game, for me, is Dixon. If he can handle the game pressure and avoid bad turnovers, we'll have a good chance

IMHO, what's going to determine the winner is how the game is called. I can see a scenario that where we get called for a bunch of touch fouls inside but get mugged without a whistle on the other end

I don’t care about us being underdogs or so.
Losing to Caleb Foster-led team at home is gonna be embarrassing. Can’t be 4 in a row, this is almost a deal-breaker with HD to me if we go 0-2

Thought this was an interesting point from the “basket under review “ mail bag. They also mention Maliq Brown being a factor as the best defender coming off the bench in the country:
ETA : the “then again there’s no luck… is followed by a video of our crap defense against Stanford.
