    What present players benefits Duke staying...

    I think Jon could have more energy and fire towards our players and the refs when things aren’t going on our way. I don’t think it’s Jon’s fault that we have a glaring hole which is no rim protection. Seems like he wanted one, but we couldn’t get one into Duke. I truly believe we’re only a 3-5...

    Immediate Reactions

    Not sure where the data is that we are better as underdogs. Believe we were dogs twice this year: @ UNC @ Wake….and we lost both of those. @ UNC we were lucky to keep it fairly competitive but never led.

    What present players benefits Duke staying...

    I know Mitchell is getting torched by Duke fans in the moment, but I’d love to have him back next season. Foster, Mitchell, Stewart, and Power would be ideal with what we have coming in. Would need 1 elite guard out of the portal which hopefully isn’t an issue because he took Spanish 101 and...

    Official game day thread- Duke vs State- ACC tourney

    Until Scheyer and the top football coaches meet with the Duke president and higher up’s about admission standards and credits transferring over for transfer athletes, than I don’t see us being serious national title contenders. There is a reason Notre Dame hasn’t been elite in football for 30...

    1. I’m still all in on this year, let’s win the title and then who cares, everyone can leave for that matter, Flagg will be good enough to carry us himself. 2. Based on our recruiting. Jon must definitely expect a year 2 from Foster. I think McCain is 100% gone, Roach too. I’d bet Proctor being...

    I also wouldn’t double Bacot, if he scores 30, so be it. Hopefully there’s some turnovers and missed free throws mixed in. Don’t give up open threes to Ingram and Ryan, and don’t let Davis get going.

    If Duke gets that Stewart consistently from here on out…watch out!

    Other team's games

    Marquette’s best player and last years Big East POY Kolak is injured for at least the final 2 regular season games (Xavier, UCONN). Marquette is a 2 seed right in front of us. Gotta think they drop one or both games. Not to mention; the committee does factor injuries into seeding so if he is...

    Stewart and Power look really good! If Burns is gonna kill us than consider me worried about Bacot.

    Can this team be a contender?

    I love how many weapons we have and we aren’t reliant on someone to score 20+ every night. What worries me is our defense, especially when we play a big physical team. There was a 3 or 4 possession stretch during the Wake game where Carr (4th or 5th option for Wake) backed down Mitchell and...

    A road conference game at SMU is gonna be weird.

    Can this team be a contender?

    Like I said I feel we are a rim protector short. I love Young’s effort, but we don’t need his offense, our guards and Flip can provide plenty of that. Young would be the fall guy who wouldn’t play much had we brought in a transfer big, he seems like a good teammate who would accept that. Maybe...

    Can this team be a contender?

    I agree that getting transfers who will be happy playing a role will be effective. But I also think that when you have a guard dominant roster and no starting center that getting a center out of the portal who can be a starter is an effective strategy.
