Revenge game! The only L we get to avenge (in the regular season that is) happens tonight. I gotta assume the boys will be jacked up for this one as will the crowd.

Since beating Duke the rambling wreck hasn’t won a conference game m. That should make us very proud LOL.

Duke is favored by a lot!

I'll be shocked an awed if we don't witness a full on beatdown today. Redemption game, at Cameron, and Duke's been rolling. I like Duke by a lot, and I hope to see our bench play big minutes in the second half.

Absolute slaughterhouse tonight.

On paper this should be an easy win, but it doesn't always play out that way. This team has been on a roll, is at home and should win comfortably.
Duke 82
GT 70
Would like to see Stewart and Power get some PT other than the last 5 minutes.
Win and we should be back in the top 10.
I'm not sure GT will roll over like Pitt did. But then again they have not played well lately.
Would like to see Proctor get it going.
The only way it is close is if we take them lightly and GT feels disrespected. But I can't see us losing to them twice.

 

[Mac9192]

We should beat them like a rented drum.

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

Big-time azz whipping is scheduled for Cameron tonight!!! ENJOY!!!

OFC

 

[The Only Blue]

Start slow, we win by 12. Start fast, we win by 20

 

[GAAP_rivals]

Start slow, we win by 12. Start fast, we win by 20

Medium start we win by 16?

 

[The Only Blue]

Mitchell out today

 

[bleediteveryday30]

The injury bug has been on this team since Irving in '11. I still think we win. But it's potentially a tough one. Mark's defense is irreplaceable.

 

[JimboSlice00]

How does GT shoot so well against us? Thankfully Flip is carrying us

 

[The Only Blue]

Yikes. That dunk over young was nasty

 

[bleediteveryday30]

It's infuriating.

 

[LetsGoDuke83]

Tech can’t miss of course

 

[denverexpat]

Could use a few stops

 

[The Only Blue]

This team just plays so well against us. Frustrating

 

[Jamession3]

Damon is coaching...

 

[Jamession3]

Play Stewart...

 

[sheyduke]

Can we please move the ball more on offense ? Just please stick to what has been working .

 

[denverexpat]

The Flip or nothing offense isnt working....0-9...find a better shot

 

[Jamession3]

GTech is attacking Flip, even if they foul him.

 

[Jamession3]

Jon don't trust TJ and Stewart...

 

[denverexpat]

we are better when the ball moves and the shot is within the flow...seems we have forgotten that since the 8 min mark..

 

[christophero]

When everyone says "we're going to roll them" we do the opposite. You can set your watch to it. Still think we win, but will be a battle.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Yeah always a bad thing when we all think we will kill someone. We have no desire to even be playing right now.

But GT is making Duke play their style of play

 

[denverexpat]

Gtech are shooting well...Flip hasnt hit a bucket in forever but that hasnt stopped him shooting!

 

[Jamession3]

Flip really does not want any contact. I know the coaching staff prepared him for a physical game.

 

[christophero]

Flip needs Mitchell out there to thrive.
He's putting up numbers, but another 4 of 13 type game.
He usually plays better in the second half.

 

[denverexpat]

disappointing first half...didnt really show any energy at the defensive end to stop the Gtech momentum and then our offense became Flip centric..and it didnt work.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Gtech are shooting well...Flip hasnt hit a bucket in forever but that hasnt stopped him shooting!

Who else is helping them outside of Roach and Flip? Where's Proctor, McCain, Foster? They are flat

 

[The Only Blue]

Not the half we expected. GT shooting lights out. Seems like Flip is afraid of getting his shot blocked and playing soft.

Ball doesnt make it to them to shoot.....we arent moving the ball. I'd get McCain more shots..

 

[JimboSlice00]

Have to think GT will stop shooting like Steph Curry eventually, right?

 

[bleediteveryday30]

This is why Mitchell is so important.

Flip needs Lively... Flip needs Young... Flip needs Reeves... Flip needs a BIG... The team needs FLIP tonight. By himself. Step Up Flip!

 

[christophero]

They seem to match up well with us. Still think we win by 10, but Mitchell out doesn't help. With Mitchell out teams can double Flip.
