Taking a wide open three for this team isn't an issue with me. It has more to do with State's lack of perimeter defense right now. I'm not sure if their gameplan is to give us open looks or not. If it is, then kudos to them.

I know they're open but I've always felt like we play better when we are a little bit more mixed. We're making a good percentage but we can get cold at times.really woul'dve like to have seen thornton drive on his 3.

Dang it Plumlee just dunk the ball

Ingram has it going. My heart stopped when he went down after the slight ankle sprain....seems to be alright.

I am watching on small screen on ESPN3, but is it me or NCST not even trying to set anything that could resemble a legal screen on occasion?

Our defense ugh. Matt getting picked on and Marshall has not switched well.

Grayson's passing is great

Not a lot of defense being played by either team right now.

Yes, but I would also argue both teams are hitting a couple shots that they should not. I do not think the defenses are playing as bad as the score suggests.

Besides a couple 3's off screens, I thought we've played good D, contested shots. NC State is just displaying some great shot making. We on the other hand, have gotten many open shots and have been hitting to keep up. Pretty crazy game thus far.

NCSU is hitting every thing including free throws. We're at 50%. Not a way to finish the half. Bad foul Grayson. OFC

We cannot get up and guard people for fear of fouling. While playing only 6 & 1/2 guys this is always going to be a problem.

NC S really wants this game. They're playing very well. We haven't been able to stop anything they're doing.

That was awful to watch. They made everything and more. I'm convinced the hot streak will stop. Just ridiculous.

Wish they would show that replay slow mo so we can see Barber's head fly back a half a second before Allen touched him.
Our defense wasn't awful, they are just hitting everything. Good thing we are too, sans FTs.

Ok what do we do the second half. Do you guys think Coach K is a little pissed about the D. We got to want it and stop the open shots by NCSU. OFC

I really like Cat Barber and Anya, but hate the rest of their team. I'm not sure why that is.

Barber loved Duke in high school. I remember one of the knocks on him was that he couldn't shoot it....at all. I'd say it's a part of his game he's spent a lot of time on.

Duke will try to win the tournament. We all know that. K will never say lets save energy for the NCAA tourney. That said to go 4 games in 4 days he knows we need to relax a bit. We can't afford foul trouble and burning out guys because somebody is on the bench. I am not surprised at the scoring because I feel Duke wants be able to go hard in the 2nd half if they have to. We are in a better spot in my opinion that State who has more fouls and the pressure of win or go home. I think much like the first State game where they hit EVERYTHING in the first half and then we shut them down in the 2nd this game will follow suit.

What a display of defense! :(. Obviously, the team that gets the stops in the 2nd half is going to get this one. I'm not seeing that sense of urgency that I would like to see, so I am glad it is halftime and the Staff can make their adjustments.
If Ingram continues the way he is playing, and Luke (who owns the guy guarding him) keeps going to the hole, all we need to do is get Grayson going on the offensive end and we will be alright. No matter what happens, at some point in time I want to see our guys Battle, Battle,Battle!
Go Duke!!

Surprised Duke did not attack Rowan and Martin to try and get the third foul on each.
Got to think Duke will go zone. Trying to contain Barber only opens up the middle for a dunk once he goes by his man.
He faked right and went left on Matt for easy assist.
Duke's help defense needs some help.
