***DUKE VS MICHIGAN STATE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[OldasdirtDevil]

Great rebound and flush by Chase!

OFC

 

[dukiejay]

Last year Chase would have brought that ball down to his knees and made himself about five feet tall....I like the dunking with authority much better.

 

[Get Nasty]

I think Amile thought about dunking and changed his mind which resulted in that miss layup. I don't get the statement that Amile is playing crappy.

Crappy in the beginning relative to his level he should be playing

Not even just last year, but earlier this season too.

 

[Dad2ze]

MSU always has a great team. Izzo is a great coach. With that said...I'm very happy with how we're playing considering we still have 3 studs sitting on the bench.

 

[dukiejay]

If we're better than MSU, we sure aren't showing it right now...

No, we're not. But we're playing poorly and they're playing well. And it's tied. We're better.

 

[d24martin]

How did you see that. What size screen do you have. OFC

I've had a hurt toe so it caught my attention. Saw it about 5-6 times in first ten minutes. Haven't noticed it since. But you'll see it.

 

[dukehokie]

I still want Luke and Grayson to have a game like JJ and Daniel Ewing had in this same game in 2005.

 

[Mpm277]

Luke has that midrange game down.

 

[Dukesince90]

Crappy in the beginning relative to his level he should be playing

Man, I think you're expectations are unreal.

 

[Buzzooka Joe]

"Sometimes a missed dunk is more impressive than a made dunk".. Bilas really just said that.

 

[skysdad]

Bilas just said really good execution by Luke Kennard on that 2 pointer. OFC

 

[Dukesince90]

Luke has that midrange game down.

Luke seems to have that whole offensive game down. I love how under control he plays.

 

[skysdad]

"Sometimes a missed dunk is more impressive than a made dunk".. Bilas really just said that.

Sometimes a missed swing in baseball is just as beautiful as a home run swing. Example Micky Mantle. OFC.

 

[NYBlueDevil]

We may be better on paper than MSU, but the game certainly looks evenly matched.

 

[Get Nasty]

Man, I think you're expectations are unreal.

Like don't commit a dumb offensive fouls first play of game, or miss wide open layup? He's playing better now though

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

 

[Dukesince90]

Now that last missed dunk was a pretty impressive move. Damn!

 

[skysdad]

Bilas just said about MSU that taking a bad shot is like a turn over. OFC

 

[dukehokie]

We are begging for a Luke and Amile scoring stretch. Grayson trying to force himself into the game.

 

[HeLooks2MuchLikeDave]

Can we get a three to drop??

 

[Dukesince90]

Like don't commit a dumb offensive fouls first play of game, or miss wide open layup? He's playing better now though

So you get an offensive foul, means you're playing crappy? Wow

 

[LetsGoDuke301]

Thank God MSU sucks. Could be a lot worse if our opponent tonight was worth a damn.

 

[dukehokie]

[Mpm277]

I really wish Luke would cut his hair so he'd leave it aloonneeeeee

 

[Kingbluedevil]

We got to have a better option than Allen right now. He is trying too hard

 

[BlueDevils725]

Thank God MSU sucks. Could be a lot worse if our opponent tonight was worth a damn.

Agreed. We need our guys back soon, we struggle.

 

[wcu1113]

Defense is so infuriating.

 

[dukiejay]

I still want Luke and Grayson to have a game like JJ and Daniel Ewing had in this same game in 2005.

In the ACC-Big Ten Challenge, but not the NCAAT.

 

[dukehokie]

Thank God MSU sucks. Could be a lot worse if our opponent tonight was worth a damn.

I wouldn't agree with that assessment of MSU. They've played a controlled game just unlucky at points. A couple missed chippies or a couple made threes makes this game look very different for both teams.

 

[Get Nasty]

We are begging for a Luke and Amile scoring stretch. Grayson trying to force himself into the game.

and why is k allowing it

 

[Dukesince90]

I really wish Luke would cut his hair so he'd leave it aloonneeeeee

I don't care if Luke scratches his *** every 5 seconds, just keep shooting the ball young man!

 

[dukehokie]

In the ACC-Big Ten Challenge, but not the NCAAT.

That's why I said this same game. They lit Cameron up that year. Let's not bring up the March game shall we.

 

[skysdad]

Bilas just said Coach K is upset with his team for allowing MSU so many easy baskets. Is he right. OFC

 

[dukehokie]

and why is k allowing it

Good question. But I'm guessing Jack White isn't the answer.

 

[Showenuff]

Our defense absolutely sucked azz that half. I'm talking horrible.

 

[germantondevil]

MSU looks like the fresh team and Duke looks like the team that has travelled the United States and Bahamas playing hoops.

 

[Get Nasty]

"Aim for perfection and you will reach greatness, aim to be great and you will be good, aim to be good and you will be average. "

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

It's a real shame Allen is so limited right now. Some brutal forces..... Tough half, but it's not gonna be pretty. Hopefully for only a while.

On a side note, once again I'm shocked (I should not be ) we only have 6 guys that can contribute.

Very frustrating all around

 

[Kingbluedevil]

We are getting good looks but can't make a shot. We blow them out second half.
