I see similar problem as in years past. Duke’s defense is a major problem. Been exposed the last three games. They just aren’t a great team. Still time but need to make some major adjustments.

The schedule hasnt been easy either - these are 18 yo kids...playing games with few days rest or practice AND flying around the country - coast to coast in this case and back to back..at some point that has to be a factor mentally and physically.

This is 100% a loss. We look like we don't care. Texas is flat out embarassing us.
I'm pretty sure they care more or at least as much as we do. They just aren't playing team ball as evidenced by some very selfish plays tonight. It is disgusting and embarrassing though. Very poor team effort.

Bolden is a waste of time. K sits Jav and Alex who seem to play with energy enabling bigs who could care less about d and get interested only when they have the ball

He hasnt shown any great desire or improvement this year so far, which is surprising

The teams they are playing are going through the same scheduling. No excuses, Texas has two freshmen starters too. Duke just needs to be ready to play and they haven’t the last three games for whatever reason. Coach needs to get this team on the right track again. Don’t know what happened but always seems to be like this around the holidays.

I can’t take it with Allen right now. Can you be any more passive? Jesus Christmas, it’s your senior year. Take SOME ownership of this team. He’s passing on shot after shot! Meanwhile Duval continues to shoot...

Without Bolden we are not even playing this game...he’s the only reason we where not down twenty in the first half yesterday...not saying he’s playing great...but the entire team is pretty much sucking it up...

They're racking up the fouls. We might have a chance. Duval is hurting us today though real selfish

I mean, I'm glad Alex saved it and we finally hit a three... But Texas is letting us back in this game with unforced mistakes.

I for one didn’t see this coming...need to defend though if we are going to have a shot...can’t believe we still have a shot at this as bad as we have played...

We are still Making mistakes on defense but we are making them at 100% and as many mistakes we create we are forcing their mistakes as well
