We welcome mediocre Stanford to Cameron to give us a back to back California homestead. Stanford is 16-9 with exactly 0 impressive wins on the season unless you could Blake’s beating UNC which was fun. We are currently a 19.5 point favorite

Duke-87
Tree mascot- 66

 

[The Only Blue]

Raynaud is a handful averaging a double double. His matchup with Mal will be key. Want to see Kon and Evans get on track

Let's go Duke!

 

[JimboSlice00]

Duke 78
Stanford 65

 

[Kingbluedevil]

Have to come out strong can't take opponents lightly even though Duke is heavy favorite. Blakes will be pumped

 

[dukesince91]

Duke 81-63
I want to see Showtime Slim knock down some 3’s.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Duke in a close one.

 

[LetsGoDuke83]

Duke by alot and hopefully Blakes gets a good shout out

 

[JimboSlice00]

Opened as -20.5 and it’s down to -18.5 which is interesting. Hopefully that bug that was going around hasn’t struck again.

 

[Dad2ze]

I hope Blakes has a good game because he always seemed like a solid dude but hope Duke goes off

Duke - 78
Stanford - 61

Hope he gets 20 and we win by 30. Think that's a fair trade lol

I think it will be close for a while and then we win by 15. Will be interesting to see Blakes and Proctor and Sion to see who plays better. They have a decent big man. They need this win for their tournament resume but I doubt the Cardinal win today. Has a league ever had two teams with the same mascot? We have 2 Cardinals.

SEC has 3 Tigers and 2 Bulldogs.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Their center is legit.

 

[christophero]

21-15 Duke. Blakes has not scored.

 

[bullcity gamer]

Defensive Rebounding and 3 Point Defense has been very poor on Duke’s part the last couple of weeks.

They need to fix those issues ASAP

Yes defensive rebounding has been very poor last handful of games. For sure a concern.

 

[bullcity gamer]

Defensive Rebounding is all about Boxing Out and Want To. Hope the coaching staff addresses the defensive rebounding and 3 point defense as the post season draws near

 

[christophero]

Duke by 16. Blakes 0-5.

 

[The Only Blue]

Keep it up early second half and put them away. Need to run more to wear Raynaud down a bit.

 

[bullcity gamer]

Proctor has been playing some very good basketball the last couple of weeks. He has stepped up as a reliable scorer. Today he is putting the clamps on Blakes while also scoring at will on the offensive end.

On the negative side, I am getting ready to throw something because of the poor defensive rebounding and poor 3 point defense on Duke’s part.

Would like to see more of the bench in the 2nd half.

 

[The Only Blue]

For all this height man are we bad at rebounding

 

[bleediteveryday30]

We weren't bad earlier in the year but we are subpar now.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Man, Proctor is special. We are so lucky to have that kid.

 

[The Only Blue]

Need to run some plays to get the ball to Evans in position to shoot

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Sion is a linebacker. What a tank.

 

[The Only Blue]

Alright. Time to give the bench some burn. Have a quick turnaround with the game Monday at UVA.

 

[christophero]

Not watching but based on the box score Proctor and Sion are outplaying Blakes by a wide margin. No Foster?

 

[bleediteveryday30]

They have been. No Foster today. My only issues are defensive rebounding and giving up 3s; several of them have been open. Have to clean that **** up. But I'm pleased about our play besides that.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

The passing has been exquisite.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

The Man Man we've seen in the last two games takes us to another level.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Seeing the bench out there for the last 6 minutes and Foster getting some shots up is fantastic.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Duke in a close one.

Man, I'm so glad to be wrong.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

This was a beat-down. You love to see it.

 

[The Only Blue]

Hope he gets 20 and we win by 30. Think that's a fair trade lol

Blakes got shut down but at least we got the 30

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Blakes got shut down but at least we got the 30

I love the kid, but I'm glad we held him in check and waxed that ***.

 

[Kingbluedevil]

We don't run anything for him

Good Balanced Attack Today!! The first half had me angry with how poor Duke was at securing defensive rebounds and also with the poor defense against the 3 point line.

The Coaching Staff made the adjustments at halftime and the Blue Devils put on a Clinic in the 2nd half.

Happy to see Foster make the most of his opportunity in the last 6 minutes of the game scoring 10 points! Hopefully the scoring outburst propels Foster for the remainder of the season, because he can help Duke continue to Ascend!!!

Good win Blue Devils. Onto Charlottesville on Monday night before the showdown with Illinois in MSG.

Let's hopefully watch auburn, unc, kentucky, michigan state, and kansas all lose to make this night better!

You forgot the Cheats in there. Nothing would be better than seeing the Orange beat them

 

[bullcity gamer]

Fixed the post, Thank You Blue! A Syracuse win tonight should knock unc out of the bubble

 

[JimboSlice00]

And to think there were some questioning Rese earlier this year. He has silenced everyone and has become an absolute weapon. Love it for the kid and I hope we throw so much NIL money for him to come back for a senior year. Happy for the kid.
