Great out of the gates. Sloppy as hell the last 8ish minutes. They went zone and we looked like deer in headlights. We'd be down big if Ingram wasn't carrying us. Oh and he picked up fouls 2&3 with less than 2 minutes to go. Not good.

Let's see what we're made of since we don't have a 20 point lead at the half. Time to man up. OFC

God-awful finish to that half. 3rd foul on Ingram too. Couldn't do squat with Clemson's zone either. Lotsa standing around jackin' 3's. Need a fast start in the 2nd half.

One thing we all should feel wonderful about is that Ingram was not recruited by HOF Coach Roy Williams and he's not an UNC type player. OFC

I was hoping we changed to our blue uniforms at half time but I guess that's against the rules. ;) OFC

Curious that we won't even attempt to drive...like at all. Must be one of those games.

We just look sluggish. Kind of like just gong through the motions. It's like we haven't played in a month. OFC

Has nobody else noticed that Thornton hit an obvious three when Duke was up 44-39 and they only credited Duke with two?? And the score is still a point off, was never corrected. Unbelievable.

We could be in trouble. Our guards have to get more aggressive. We're in the bonus and are going to need free throws down the stretch here.

The drives are too little too late at this point. The team took an inordinate amount of threes early on. Not sure why that was the game plan but it was.

Think we're past the could be, DJ...we're in deep trouble now. Still time, but going to have to turn it up to have a chance.

Clemson didn't score for about three minutes early in the second half. The problem is, neither did Duke. Can't settle for threes only out there. Not sure why that was the game plan but it was. Didn't shoot a single free throw until midway through the second.

Ugh..we were up 47-39 with just under ten minutes left and went a long stretch where we couldn't score. That's where we lost it...

We are perimeter oriented and missed everything and that's what can happen.

Would have been nice to get this one because the next two are at home and then the State/Miami back to back.

K going to zone even with foul trouble hurt big as well. This team plays zone terrible.

For a while, this team's strength was zone. But if you don't pressure the ball in a zone, you get killed. There was no ball pressure tonight.

They just beat a top 10 team. Let them have fun.

Duke didn't play well. To win on the road in the ACC you must....and we didn't.

The foul problems killed us more than anything. We played matador defense in the 1-3-1 but we couldn't really play man....and we couldn't stop them. On top of that, missed opportunities at the free throw line, lack of aggression from our guards and missed traps on defense. Gotta move on and get the next two at home.
