***DUKE VS MIAMI OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

and Luke cannot be stopped in the lane.

 

[DukeSky85]

Luke is so smooth

 

[denverexpat]

low scoring game - would be nice to get some distance in the first half ....given the recent second half lapse

 

[politicsasusual21_rivals176516]

I can see Frank Jackson is gaining some confidence. If he stays another year or two he is going to be a beast

 

[Mpm277]

I actually don't really mind how we're playing right now.

 

[SoCal Dukie]

Amile again being abused.

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Can amile guard anyone anymore?

 

[wcu1113]

I can see Frank Jackson is gaining some confidence. If he stays another year or two he is going to be a beast

He'd be astronomically ill-advised to not return.

 

[NYBlueDevil]

That's why you don't play a switch man to man defense. Too many opportunities for mismatches

 

[DukeSky85]

This is going to be a grind it out game..who has more grit?

 

[SoCal Dukie]

They are showing some serious grit in this game. K going 1-2-2 zone is slowing the game down, and that helps with Miami being 17-1 if scoring over 70 points.

 

[wcu1113]

So effing sloppy. My God.

 

[Jnood]

Don't like it as much, now.

 

[crazyduke3]

Frank gives to both teams :/

 

[NYBlueDevil]

Way to end the half.....

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

We waste sooooo many opportunities it's unreal.

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Are we playing stall ball? I get the feeling we might be a bit.

 

[DukeSky85]

Both teams shooting the exact same

 

[dbav]

We're a second half team. Keep fighting fellas.

 

[Stevo-910]

Man its always a struggle. Can't put 2 good halves together.

 

[duhondukie]

Tatum does not look real interested in playing today!

 

[Dad2ze]

22-21 at the half??? Good grief!!!

 

[Mpm277]

Definitely collapsed at the half.

 

[DukeSky85]

Brown has 15 of their 22...

 

[NYBlueDevil]

We're a second half team. Keep fighting fellas.

Wednesday's game would say otherwise

 

[Stevo-910]

Both teams shooting the exact same

Yeah separated by 1 free throw

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Need to put Tatum at FT line or post him up....he falls in love with 3s and we need him to score

 

[jcdevilfan]

Next play Frank, forget it. Team is actually not playing bad, kinda like where we are. Stay in a position to win and don't lose concentration in the 2nd half. For some reason, I feel like we may win this one in the post (paint). Would like to see Tatum at the foul line on offense, and also get Tatum engaged scoring wise in the second half. Hang in there guys, gotta have this one!
Go Duke!
OFC

 

[GabeM1234]

I often wonder why the ball is not dumped to Bolden or Giles just maybe they cannot play with their back to the basket. It's seems like Bolden is in their to set screens. Honestly, I really do not see him pull down boards either.

 

[denverexpat]

i always looked for around 40 points at half - that was when Duke BB was flowing - 21 is shockingly low. Defensively a good half unfortunately our offense didnt show up on the other end. Just 2 FT's in the half shows we are not attacking the basket at all

 

[Ioliva]

kennard hasn't been hitting the shots he usually makes

 

[acc hoops]

Look forward to the day Duke has a point guard.

 

[SoCal Dukie]

Duke up by 10 if not for 3 rim-outs and multiple Amile brain-locks. I'm good with where the game is. Time to step it up and show fight going into March.

 

[sheyduke]

This game is going through Luke.

The down side is, Luke had Matt and Tatum open when he had the turn over with three Miami players he ran into and on that fast break Luke went all the way and Tatum thought he was gonna pass it. The three is gonna have to fall but defense looks good

 

[Stevo-910]

Lets knock some shots down.

 

[Dukesince90]

Jones in another shooting slump. Yikes

 

[denverexpat]

Jones in another shooting slump. Yikes

when isnt he in one?

 

[SoCal Dukie]

This game is over.

 

[NYBlueDevil]

And here comes the game getting blown open.

 

[Ioliva]

The energy and intensity from that 7 game streak is gone. we may go 0-4 in our last games this is total garbage
