***DUKE VS SYRACUSE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Happy with everything that half except for our fast break offense!

Yes! Extremely irritated by the fast break offense!!!

 

[KellenPatrick]

Vitale saying Tatum's shot at the buzzer wouldn't count because he didn't get it off in time. Ha, I thought he definitely did.

 

[KellenPatrick]

Yes! Extremely irritated by the fast break offense!!!

K has been fuming on the bench, largely due to that garbage I bet.

 

[Dukesince90]

Tatum with a near triple double at the half. You go big fella.

 

[denverexpat]

If we could run a 4 on 1, 3 on 1, 2 on 1, 3 on 2 like any youth basketball team we would be up 20....ifs and buts were candy and nuts as they say.....a 3 to go down would be good too....if Cuse dont start hitting jump shots we should be ok - it would be nice to see them further in the rear view than they are though

 

[Dukesince90]

Was anyone else surprised to see Luke as the player roaming the foul line on offense instead of Tatum?

 

[GTHC_ GTH!]

Should easily be up 16 or so. The fast break has been terrible. Basically the only thing not going well. Syracuse has been good in second halves so we got to convert in transition

 

[duhondukie]

I can't handle Karl Ravech. He is terrible

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

I miss those 20 point blowout games

 

[KellenPatrick]

I have noticed that Ravech definitely likes pointing out w

I can't handle Karl Ravech. He is terrible

I have noticed how he definitely likes to point out when he thinks "Duke may have gotten away with a walk there", or whatever else he doesn't like.

 

[GTHC_ GTH!]

Imagine if Tatum was benched like many wanted

 

[jcdevilfan]

The kids are really looking good so far. Really locked in tonight, and sure, making some mistakes, but it goes with the pressure involved. If we can maintain defensive intensity, we will be fine.
Go Duke!
OFC

 

[Mac9192]

Hell, you should play Hold'em with him.

No you go ahead, he's your buddy

 

[Mac9192]

Is Allen in correct arena

 

[dukiejay]

Syracuse will be right there at the end, imo. We had chances to stretch the lead but couldn't. The Orange are too good to roll over.

 

[Dukesince90]

Wake with only 24 points vs Pitt at halftime. Go figure.

 

[germantondevil]

Don't like the feel of this game

 

[germantondevil]

Would love to see Giles this half

 

[germantondevil]

How was that not a walk. 18 ft out to a dunk with no dribble

 

[Dukesince90]

Bolden not playing again. He's got to be frustrated, I know I am.
I thought Coach K was going to rest Amile some.

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Guess it's gonna be the 6 man rotation again all second half....UGH

 

[Mac9192]

Syracuse has no bench and we're not attacking their bigs at all.

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

How was that not a walk. 18 ft out to a dunk with no dribble

Obvious walk....not called

 

[dukiejay]

Don't like the feel of this game

Same here.

 

[sheyduke]

Guys I don't see Duke going more then seven the rest of the season

 

[wcu1113]

Man I wish we had Giles for more than one year.

 

[germantondevil]

show us it hit his leg. You show everything against Duke

 

[Dukesince90]

Coach K just doesn't look like he feels good.

 

[wcu1113]

K needs to light into these guys. Sloppy half.

 

[Mpm277]

Ugh. We're losing our composure.

 

[dukiejay]

Coach K just doesn't look like he feels good.

I don't feel good. I can't imagine what he feels like.

Duke is in trouble.

 

[sheyduke]

They are gonna continue to go at Jackson until he gets in foul trouble.

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

What terrible terrible stretch

 

[dukiejay]

Ugh. We're losing our composure.

We never really had it....Syracuse was just so bad in the first it made us look good. We've been outplayed all night and are fortunate to only be down two.

 

[SoCal Dukie]

A LOB!!!!! It's been open all game.

 

[DukeCorey21]

What a horrible half of basketball

 

[Showenuff]

Harry, Monsta Dunk !

 

[germantondevil]

Damn I get tired of watching small guards penetrate and score at will

 

[SoCal Dukie]

They cannot miss. Not a good sign.

 

[Whutadrag2]

Can someone stop spud Webb?
