    Count me in the camp that there's no way we keep Cayden and Foster. :cautious: I just assumed Harris was gone. You could argue he didn't get enough playing time to improve and prove himself, but IMHO, in big games, when he did get some PT, the stage was too big for him. I do wish him well...

    Official Gameday thread- Duke vs Michigan

    UConn mucked up the game just enough to make it a contest. My friend is a Michigan grad, and he and I chop it up a little bit, so I have seen MI play a handful of times this year. They were clearly sped up by UConn's pressure and defense. The better team won, but UConn is slippery. This is my...

    How about losing 3 games all season by a total of 5 points?! And two being last second buzzer beater 3's?

    Official gameday thread- Duke vs Uconn

    The morning after.......I had a bad feeling the way we ended the first half. Two missed FT's, an offensive foul and a terrible shot. It just sort of fell apart from there. Let's face it though, Duke was wobbly in all three NCAA games. There were extended stretches of poor play in all three...

    Three players touched the ball. All they had to do was hold the ball. That’s just unbelievable at this level.

    Unbelievably poor basketball IQ. That’s on the coaching staff.

    We Must come out strong. Lots of fouls to give. Let’s lock em down. Nothing easy.

    Don’t want to seem greedy but not happy with those last two possessions. Need to be smarter. UConn is gonna come out on fire second half. Every point matters. Make FTs. Our defense has been solid!

    A Duke win and a full throttle Hurley meltdown would truly make my day!!!

    I’m not saying the stars need to align, but we need to play solid basketball in all areas to win. Shoot respectable numbers from three and the FT line. Limit turnovers. Rebound. Play tough defense. And Duke wins! Duke 75 UConn 66

    I really don’t like Dan Hurley. I would love to be the team to knock him out. It’s not even the UConn players I don’t like. It’s just Hurley! But agreed they are a tough and experienced team. It will be no easy task. FWIW they did lose to St Johns in February. We can take them if we play our...

    I texted my son when we were down ten that we were gonna win. Yes it was partly wishful thinking but somehow it just seems like this team finds a way to win! SJ was as tough as advertised, heck of an effort on their part. How gritty was Foster?!?!? He put us on his back midway thru the second...

    Next five mins are critical. If we lose the next five mins we are going home. Not seeing any energy from Duke and SJ is flying high. They want it more right now.
