    Official game day thread- Duke @ GT

    It’s all been deleted it looks like. It was just comments on the DukeUpdate recent posts, no reputable source, a few of the mentions were people with under 100 followers.

    Official game day thread- Duke @ GT

    I’ve been reading comments on Twitter (not reliable sourcing) that in addition to there being a rift between the older and younger guys on the team, that Duke has had some NIL complications. Guys upset because they aren’t getting what they were promised. Sounds ridiculous, I do know this was an...

    Official game day thread- Duke @ GT

    This I agree with. A lot of the K teams at the end of his run I felt like we didn’t run an offense. It was “get the ball to the best player and get out of the way.” Which, when you have a Tatum, Bagley, Zion, or Banchero that will work and you can create things off of that. I love Flip, but he...

    I think the most shocking thing of all is Sports Illustrated still exists?? Like a magazine?

    Can this team be a contender?

    This team could be a contender, but I’d bet we aren’t when it’s all said and done. Titles can be won in May, and we lost that chance by not adding a center. It was obvious, all Duke fans were harping about it, it was clear as day we had a missing piece. And we did nothing. We are Duke, we should...

    Sheyer: “We (coaches) probably have to make some changes

    I’ve noticed more hero ball going on with this team than usual. In the GT game, there were 3 or 4 times Flip went up against 2-3 guys inside when there was a wide open 3 point shooter to kick it out to. Roach isn’t exactly racking up the assists, he has tunnel vision when he drives. We wouldn’t...

    Official game day thread- Duke vs Arkansas

    We just have a weirdly constructed roster. Yes we have talent, and yes we have more experience than usual. But it’s almost like we just took a bunch of good players without thinking it through. Take Power for example: we need his shooting. But he can’t play a lick of defense or rebound, so...

    He didn’t box out on that same possession and that is what led to the score. Jon had a short leash for him.

    Subbing Power into the game and switching to zone is great coaching. Reeves ain’t it.

    Official game day thread- Duke vs Southern Indiana

    Destroying UK by 34 in November may have been the worst thing to happen to the Zion team. I remember the next day on TV and radio the discussion was “could Duke beat some NBA teams.” We had a massive target on us from there on out. I’m still not sure why we didn’t add a transfer experienced...

    Conditioning and Strength vs Talent

    IMO that’s a very easy question: Reeves would redshirt or not play much at all this year as he is still recovering from injury and needs a lot of work. Young would be a situational type big man for when we need offense when Flip is in foul trouble (Young seems like a great teammate and would...

    Conditioning and Strength vs Talent

    Agreed. I’ve been harping since Flip announced he is returning that this could be a title team. We just have a massive weakness, and I worry it could be too big to cover. Much like the Zion team was clearly a shooter short. Much like the 06 Redick team was forced to start a freshman Paulus at PG...

    Conditioning and Strength vs Talent

    I agree that chemistry and keeping the team happy is important. But let’s not act like our center position consists of the best of the best. We have a transfer from Northwestern, and a 3/4 star (depending on the service) in Reeves who seems like a long term project. Stewart is a big recruit, but...

    Official game day thread- Duke vs MSU

    Young is a great player and can do many great and smart things on the court, he just doesn’t fit with Flip..at all. The best version of what Reeves projects to be is what we need paired with Flip. There is certainly a role for Young though when Flip is resting or in foul trouble. I just...

    Conditioning and Strength vs Talent

    It’s tough to be reasonable about this because frankly I’m not sure anyone understands how transfers can qualify academically to Duke or not. I don’t know if we are able to fish in the same pond as an SEC school. Regardless, it was clear as day in April and May that the big weakness on this...
