***DUKE VS PITT OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***
- Thread starter krzyzewskiville
- Start date
Jack White tired out from all the minutes. Will topple over soon.
This is how we should have played the two games we lost. I know PItt sucks. But so does State and BC
Not as many posters tonight. I wonder why? Oh, we must be playing well.
If these guys can maintain defensive intensity even close to this, #6 is a strong possibility. KEEP IT UP!
love that Coach K is using his bench. I hope this trend continues throughout the rest of the season.
Coach K is too old, stubborn, won't play his bench, and never makes adjustments any more. Yeah right! Lmao, lol
Although Trevon is making some threes tonight, I feel just like you do in regards to Trevon. Lol
I trust his much more than Duval's.
LOL!! who would have ever thought that would be a GOOD thing!!!
Definitely a much needed half. All the guys coming in and contributing has got to be good for team morale as well.
Duke is playing great, keep the foot on the pedal boys. They really needed a game like this. Let’s build some confidence.
Just amazing! So many people playing...subbing about every three min...they are all playing so so hard! And clearly can all contribute!
Love this.
Not just the score, which is awesome, but this is the kind of use of the bench that I think needs to happen. And, in tighter games against tougher competition, we should still use the bench, just less - even 2-3 minutes a half for Robinson, White, Goldwire, et al. It's not that they are great, but it develops them.
In my view, if you are going to recruit a kid and give him a scholarship, you don't have to promise him he'll start or get lots of PT, but, you should should give him some playing time - unless he just has a terrible attitude or behavioral problems. It's just good will and honorable. This isn't life and death. It's entertainment. It's a "game." It doesn't mean you don't try to win but you give opportunity to develop in front of 10-15-20K people.
And, somewhere down the road, in the ACC or in the NCAAs, Duke will need one of these guys if someone gets hurt or in foul trouble - even to give a 1-2-3 minute breather to the starters - and getting ACC game experience will help them not feel so cold or nervous.

good. Let's see some consistency. Lets do it again in the 2nd half and at least two more times in a row. We should be able to punch anyone in the mouth and kill their mentality.
Super excited that we’re actually using our bench, and Robinson is doing it big. Let’s see how we do vs Miami though, Pitt is REAL bad!
It’s nice to have some optimism though after 2 bad away losses.

I have to say, aside from the use of the bench, my favorite thing about tonight's game?
Alex O'Connell finally cutting his hair! (that flop in his eyes drove me crazy).
