GREAT win by us. This one feels oh so good.
Another team under 60 against our Zone! I like it!!
Nice to be able to win UGLY!
Great road win. Today was a mans game and we played like men. Great job fellas
The way this college basketball season is going...any win is a good win.
Happy for the win and we hung in there. Good thing Clemson wasn't on it's game either. Let's go get Marvin back and take care of UL. OFC
Especially when all of our players are so handsome. Well, most of them.
HUGE! So much game pressure there at the end and we never lost focus on defense. Just imagine if we had Bagley...
After all the losses I wouldn’t be surprised if we are back in the top 6-8 and are a solid 2 seed going forward. A great chance our last 4 games to solidify that and give us a chance at a one seed in the ACCT. Couldn’t be prouder of the way they’ve played without Bagley.
Eh, I'd be liberal with the fast forward in the second half.
It a great win when you consider how we struggled shooting the ball but they made up for their shooting woes by playing their hearts out to win this one.
Wasn’t pretty but I’ll take it! Loved the way we responded when Clemson tied it late. Nice road win!
1st home loss of the year for Clemson! I’ll take it!
Man I'll take this W every time! They could have won by a wider margin but who cares? They beat a team that hadn't lost at home all year. 4 more games to go, 3 of them at home.
This win was huge. We are big favorite in every game remaining and we are now in 2nd all alone. We’ve gone from being tied with Clemson for ACC regular season to being basically 2 games ahead of them with the head to head win. Now, we’ve just go to take care of VT on the road and we will be a #1 seed for NCAA TOURNEY going into ACC Tournament.
Was worried about today’s game but our boys played good defense all game, as we would’ve lost this game 2 weeks ago. We are starting to be able win games that finish in the 60s which wasn’t the case before. Either we had to score 80-90 points or we lost because that’s what our defense was giving up.

Our defense is coming together at the right time, and by no coincidence we're starting to play a tougher brand of basketball. We keep working hard (like we did today), then we're going to go a long ways in the tourney.

I love that we have picked a defense and stuck with it. Gives us tons of games reps going forward and I’ll admit we don’t look that bad in it right now. Still some things to clean up, but we can nit pick another day. Very big win for this group, very happy for them.
We are now essentially 4-0 without Bagley, I’d love for us to take a carbon copy of what we are doing without him and find ways to incorporate him into that copy when he is back.
So proud of our guys today! Finally sticking with a defense! I love us in March, I really do if we continue to play with this kind of toughness and passion!
Great win for these kids in a game both teams really needed. Grayson really took over in the 1st half, and although he seemed to disappear in the 2nd half (Clemson really clamped down on him defensively), almost everything he did in the 1st half set up everyone else in the in the 2nd half.
Great to see we could close this one out when so many were really struggling with their shots. Lot of turnovers, but at least it went both ways. Kids showed a lot of poise down the stretch and this is a good confidence builder!
Go Duke!

Haven't seen the game... just the score. I'm happy. Duke historically has struggled with Clemson at their place. Obviously I want Bags back, but I think there's something to having just one scoring big along side Javin who just plays D and rebounds the damn ball. I'd almost say just rotate Bags and Carter, but seems crazy to not have both playing heavy minutes.
Great win!! True team effort all around. Wendell was amazing that second half. Javin needs to get minutes even when Bagley comes back. A true energizer.
Ugly win but a Win! I was afraid I was going to have the walk of shame out of Littlejohn
Carter is one of those OAD's who I'm going to remember for a long time. He is a monster with a soft touch. He missed some easy shots today (mainly because he was being hit on every shot) but he came through at the end.
Glad you got to walk out of there feeling 7 feet tall (fellow short guy here).
That Duval kid can play on my team any day!!! Dudes got some grit!!!
Hell of a damn win
