Official game day thread- Duke vs Cryolina

[pisgah101]

Spoiled, complaining about the beat down of a rival a lot of posters on here were saying before the game tipped off that Duke would struggle with

Make up your mind if Duke should have been in a dogfight or Duke should have blown them out and then stick with your prediction, don’t take it out on the team geez

Good Win Duke onto the next opponent

I don’t see anyone complaining I think we were being realistic saying we thought a dogfight could happen considering it is a rivalry. We took them to the woodshed but gave them a little glimmer for a few minutes then stomped it out. We coasted at the end and I think that was obvious. I would take this over a dogfight I expected any day

 

[The Only Blue]

So nice of Tyrese

 

[The Only Blue]

Is it me or did someone say something to the effect of "get his *** fired"

 

[christophero]

Hard to tell. Someone did.

Caleb had 7 minutes as it looks like he’s pretty much out of rotation. Can’t blame Jon and I don’t disagree, but I hope we are not a 7 man rotation come March. Was hoping to have an 8 man rotation.

Brown, Gillis, Evans, and a sprinkle of Big Pat should be plenty. I just don’t know what is wrong with Foster. Right now he gives us nothing. I’m pulling for him though. He grew up near my home town.

lol yep

We do need him for 7 to 10 minutes to rest the guards, but Evans could do that. Pulling for Foster, but he is just having a rough season.

 

[The Only Blue]

We're lucky to have so many players that can play multiple positions and can handle the ball. At this point what does Foster bring for us? At least with Evans, you bring in a legit 3 point threat. That being said, time is running out for him to turn it around this season

 

[christophero]

I didn't realize UNC are now 13 and 10. No way they get in with a weak ACC unless they nearly run the table. They needed to win today.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

They'll find a way to put them in.

 

[GhostOf301]

Nah. I can't se a scenario for them outside of winning the ACCT.

 

[The Only Blue]

Think they're 95% out. Clemson or us can make it 100%.

We gave them an 18-2 run. Yes we beat them down and I’m happy but this should’ve been an 82-50. If the chance to crush their soul is there, we should take it. We should be angry with the play towards the end. Even Flagg agrees, which makes him that much better and increases the ceiling of this team imo


Flagg said he was angry with his -- and Duke's -- performance in that late stretch, despite the lopsided win.

"It was a little bit of me being tired and making some dumb mistakes at the end," Flagg said. "Being soft at the end kind of played into that."

He had some great passes that didn’t lead to assists because guys missed wide open shots and had some good defensive moments including a few deflections. He needs to get some confidence so I hope scheyer draws some things up for him

What a time to be Alive

Gary blaming the refs for Unc getting their butts handed to them

Kentucky fans turning on their former players because they are supporting Calipari (TyTy Washington, Toppin, Hagans, etc)

Gonzaga struggling this season

Continue To Evolve Duke

Have A Great Week Everyone!

You forgot KU blowing a 20 pt lead to Baylor w/o Roach Gold

Dude blame's the refs even when they win. Gotta suck to be him thinking UNC has never got a fair shake from the stripes in his lifetime.

Prison of his own making.

Talk about some vile fans, they turned on them former players hard which included Reed Shepherd as well. Full hate mode

 

[christophero]

Very happy with yesterday. It is hard to beat a decent team by 30. It is a game of runs, we got that lead by going on runs, and so they went on one. We won, we beat the spread. Most of the headlines today are saying we handled them easily, so no one thinks it was a close game. I'd be more bothered if Cooper got hurt in the game when we were up 30. I don't always agree with stall ball, but we basically gave them zero percent chance of coming back. It looked like man vs boys last night. That team just looks lost right now. I mean they lost to Stanford at home. They may be able to beat Pitt at home but I don't see them beating Clemson.

Zags for sure struggling and not nearly as good as they’ve been in the past. But last I saw (still very far away, I know) had them as a 8 seed. If we are lucky enough to get a 1, they are not the 8 I’d like to see in the 2nd round! You know they still have a good bit of talent.

I mentioned before it's Michigan State syndrome. A top 10 preseason team that underperforms and is a dangerous 8 seed. Like Tenn 2 years ago. Maybe U Conn this year, although they beat Marquette yest. and will probably be a 4/5 seed.

 

[christophero]

I have heard Nate Oates would be interested in the UNC job if offered. I hope that is not true, as he would be an excellent hire. I'm looking at the Inside Carolina board and almost no one thinks HD should still be the coach.

Think UConn will get it together and more consistent once McNeely comes back.

 

[bullcity gamer]

UConn’s defense is really bad this season

 

[Dattier]

Yeah, it’s not like they were sending us to the line and we finished on a 8-0 run to pad a close game. Everyone knows that, especially the selection committee.

Hope we put on as great show for him yesterday.

I'm guessing he enjoyed his visit?
