That would be like me quitting my job with no notice and then going to the staff meetings for the free donuts.
Ngongba Stayed Ready and it's showing tonight. Nicely Done Big Pat!
Good win but terrible injury for Brown. Foster got some minutes but was way off.
Let's hope for the best with Brown.

Will need Pat to grow up quickly and Mason to play some small ball 5, which he can. Pat is a five star who you can tell has alot. of offensive talent.
Someone here believe said maybe a separated shoulder- a quick search of that says up to 12 weeks…

Glad to win on the road by a lot, but all I care about is that Maliq is okay.
Not to be a Downer, Dan, but I don't think we are cutting them down without Maliq. We're just too damn young down low now, and he made us so much better. This f$%king sucks.
If we're lucky and there's no ligament damage, he could play in 4-6 weeks. Curry played after 3 or 4 when it happened to him. I feel bad for Maliq, and for this team.
Assuming Brown will be out for the year, we should still be able to get a one seed, esp. if we beat Illinois. But he does seem like the guy who could get us over the hump and one of the few players we can least afford to lose. There is still a chance he comes back, but between this and the other two injuries he will have missed a lot of time.
I just don't see us cutting them down if he's done for the year. In fact, I worry about this team and how far we can go if he's done. I think expectations need to be tempered.
I do think final four would be a good season. And we still have a shot at winning it all. I like Gillis and Pat, but they just can't do the things Brown can do on defense.
I'm just tired of injuries derailing our seasons. '11 Irving, '13 Kelly, '16 Jefferson, '17 a myriad of injuries, '19 Zion's shoe and we were never the same, '23 Mitchell before Tennessee, and now Maliq. Hurley in '92 and '01 Booz are the only ones that overcame it. And those were special teams. Maybe this is a group that can? I hope they prove me wrong, but I'm just not feeling positive now.
We could ill afford that injury to Malik. Such a crucial player for us. Agree with others that if he is out the treat of the way our chances of a title are likely done. He’s just such a Crucial player.
I hate the way most of the non-Duke media focuses on Flagg and so little on what makes this team roll, to the degree that they will ignore this injury. It’s so deflating.

I hate to hear this about Brown, but I refuse to believe we still can't win it all. We have a very good team, led by a guy that can do it all. Mal is going to have to man up. Others like Gillis, Evans, Pat, and possibly Foster are now needed more than ever.
Jon may have to sprinkle in a little zone from time to time to protect some from foul trouble too.

WHY ARE PEOPLE ASSUMING BROWN IS OUT FOR THE YEAR?????
He has a dislocated shoulder. I'm no doctor, but everything I have gathered is that this injury could be as minor as 7-10 days (if no tear) and as major as out for the season. He was supposedly getting tests done last night, who knows what the results were??? Being Duke I'm not sure we will even get clear news this week, which is annoying, but stay positive! He could be back.
And yeah, our chances to win the title decrease for sure, but we still have a chance.

I agree with Duke Dallas. Our margin of error is just smaller if Brown is out. Pat and Gillis will have to step up and Mal will have to play smarter and not get in foul trouble. Let's just hope for the best
Depending on the severity of it, he can absolutely return this year. All the Internet doctors quit doing Google searches at WebMD and let’s wait to hear more info.
Funny how the board was saying his minutes should be cut earlier in the year. Now we suck without him.
CuZ dR gOoGlE sAyS sO lol
What Jon said last night was a generic answer, how many times have we been here with a Duke injury. As you said if results are clear he’ll be back soon
Just another note- a dr on twitter was asked to look at video he said just off that he thought likely a reinjury and not a major new issue
I have a damaged nerve that happened in a car accident from my seat belt. I have limited movement in my arm and when I move it wrong, that's the face I make what you saw on his face. Lol. I knew what pain he was feeling right away.
Nope. I'm not. I also said I hoped to be wrong. I want to win badly, but we can't ignore his importance to our team and chances.
Hopefully brown can come back but like I mentioned earlier, big Pat is going to be solid and Gillis can play some small ball 5. This team is very deep.
I hope we don't miss a beat, but I'm a pessimistic person and a worrier. So, it's my nature to expect the worst.
In slightly less worse news, Caleb seemed confident.
I’m not trying to be rude to you either but I’m 95% sure you’re overreacting. This team is dang good he makes us even better but we can lose anyone to injury with the exception of 2 guys and still be top 5. I’ll let you decide who I mean by those
