Knew that was gunna happen.
Proud of the fight. We're nowhere near the team we'll be in even a month.

Matt made him take the shot Duke wanted! Just made the shot, props to him.
Go Duke!
Go Duke!
I'll say this, it's encouraging to see Matt and Chase play in roles they won't normally play and we stay within shot distance of a top caliber team. We're in for a good year.
Just pray we meet again.
Humble pie and a side of crow please. Nice fight. Tough loss but given all the issues they played their hearts out.
I was wondering when that was coming. Who would you have liked to see on him just out of curiosity?
Sad but not mad. We play this well with 2 top players out and all those fouls. Not gonna complain. It's all good.
Sometimes you have to be careful what you ask for...but in this case, I'm with you. Think we would beat them like a rented mule.
OFC
Loving this team! Already has the heart of a champion and soon will have the roster for one as well.

Gutsy effort. What a WEEEEIIIRRDDD game!!!
Just can't recall a game that's frustrated me to the point I had to make myself stay hungry.
Refs ruined that thing, shame

Damn, I'm gonna learn to keep my mouth shut. Sorry guys.
yeah, totally agree Hokie. I'll take my chances with Matt and his length over anybody else we have.
It never ends with a select couple on this board. DJ said it best when he said it is almost as if these guys root for Matt to fail so they can run to an Internet message board to complain. You had a guy playing absolutely lights out and had to make a contested jumper. Tip your cap and move on. Remarkable we have to keep talking about this
Absolutely! No reason to be upset. We lost a close one to a very good team...while missing some big parts of the team. The future looks very bright!

Ummmm no, you make him shoot going right, and you challenge the shot
The last shot by Mason wasn't the problem or the dumb @Get Nasty. The awful rebounding and turnover fest to start the half put the team in that position. Matt can't be scapegoated for this loss.
So let it be written. So let it be done. I have a feeling we will and it will be epic.
You can't stay in front of him, would you rather have him shoot a free throw for the win or make him take a pull up off the dribble? Just asking, I would not have let him get to the rim like he had every time the last 3 minutes...that dude is quick and we had no rim protection
Frank, only one that was even challenging his shots or keeping him in front. Probably would have fouled him though with the way game was called
This game was already pretty good given Duke had three of its best players out...if by epic you mean epic beat down haha
That's exactly what they do. They're doing it in this thread.
From a coaching standpoint I can't argue with you about making right handed shooters go right (see: Gordon Hayward 2010), but gimpy Grayson, apparently horrid defender Luke, and scared Frank weren't going to do much better (those were the superlatives that our players had to face from their fans tonight).
I don't blame Matt at all,he just was put in a position at the end where he could not succeed. Matt played like 2015 tonight. That's good
