***DUKE VS WAKE FOREST OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Glad to see that Marvin’s okay!

 

[germantondevil]

that was a friggin punch in the face he wasn't close to the ball

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Gary Trent is on fire!!!

OFC

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Gary!!!!

 

[Jnood]

Continuation?

 

[germantondevil]

Nice to see some 3s falling I hope this becomes the trend. If Dukes 3s start becoming more consistent game in and game out they will be hard to handle on the offensive side of the court

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

I’m assuming Javin and Marques are still out. Does anyone have any updates? I haven’t heard or read anything on their status

 

[germantondevil]

Don't understand why Robinson hasn't got more burn. Thought he earned some more time after the last game. Is he sick today as well?

 

[lyonhawk]

Marvin jumps like a flea.

He was the first sub in the game but hasn't been back in since.

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

Robinson was the first sub off the bench early on the first half and has not been back!

[Jnood]

Charge?

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

Great all around game from everyone on both sides

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

That was a pretty dang good game by our guys. I'm feeling a little better heading into Miami.

OFC

 

[germantondevil]

Good game Duke,,get ready for the next game Monday. This will be a huge game for both teams. We really need a tough road win

 

[SwatX1]

They average 77 per game. I'm going to say the boys liked how it felt playing some D and continue to do so, holding them below their average.
Duke 89
Wake 72

I was CLOSE!!!

 

[sheyduke]

Is it me or does Robinson average at least one block every time he plays in a game?

You can see this team is making strides but White, O’Connell , Goldwire and Robinson have stepped up.

Me too Dirt. Not long ago I was counting Monday as a loss. Now I think we go to south Florida and win it.

Love what AOC and Goldwire are bringing.

 

[GAAP_rivals]

Love what AOC and Goldwire are bringing.

I look forward to seeing them in a Duke uni over the next few years.

 

[hart2chesson]

Hopefully we'll carry over some of the effort and defensive intensity from Pitt (yes, I know they stink).
Continued improvement, and a W is what I want most.

Duke 88
Wake 81

OFC

Dirt I want to salute you friend. In Mac's thread yesterday, you pointed out GA's rebounding was down. He may not be scoring, but that sucker grabbed TWELVE BOARDS TODAY.....Good post sir- his boards and 8 assists went a long way. I am thrilled w/ win and defense today- OFC

He's just contributing in every way he can, Hart. He's in a shooting slump, but he's still playing hard. Just wait until that stroke comes back...then look out!!!

OFC

 

[duke0527]

Haven't seen the game, but sounds like a solid effort. Even though I was as frustrated as anyone with the defense in the losses and some of the wins, it's pretty incredible to think about how consistently good the offense is when you consider that : Allen has been off (scoring), poor outside shooting, poor FT shooting.
If Allen and Trent get to shooting along with AO off the bench they are going to be impossible to stop on offense.

 

[BOOGIEMAN1914]

everywhere the ball was, Jack was!!!...loving his energy...snatching boards, deflecting passes...goDuke!!

Dilly dilly.

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

Loved our effort today. Great showing all around. Carter and Bagley..... what a combo

 

[topps coach]

Alex's junior and senior years are gonna be FABULOUS!!!

Reminds me of Grayson’s breakout game as a freshman.It was against Wake too

I swear, I don't know how you guys remember stuff like that. Like the thread about biggest 3 pointers and you all were talking about all these big shots from 10 years or more ago. I can't remember much from the mich state game this year!!!

 

[hallside]

It's so cool to see, despite his scoring slump, Grayson leading his team. He has grown so much as a player and a man. His performance no longer seems to affect his attitude at all (I agree we could use some scoring from him but 12r and 8a is good enough for me). There's just something about having a senior with talent like that. Mainly, our ability to get better as a team seems to stem from his positive leadership. We are getting better, no doubt about it. Like Coach K always says about teams this talented, "We're a really good team, but we have a chance to be great." This is becoming more and more evident. Now, hopefully Coach K has a speedy recovery, and we get out of Miami with a W. This is getting fun fellas!

 

[IPSYCHOSIS]

I missed the coach k absence because of family and caught bits and pieces. I was about to rant what’s up with the zone against wake, and baring agony against nc state!.

 

[IPSYCHOSIS]

How about trae young my god ...if he improves his already good ball handling he’s gonna be the next steph

 

[Mpm277]

ESPN app.

It was on the ESPN app that it was telling me it was blacked out . Fortunately they keep the full game replays up afterwards.

If you drink half as much as it appears, you should be happy to have any brain cells left.

 

[Quavarius]

Hmmm our defense looked good today in zone

Edit: Our defensive #'s improved tremendously per KenPom

DVR helps us “older” people with memory. I never deleted that WF game, but our dvr crashed and lost it when we were given a new one.

 

[Duke1783]

When fans of the 8th ranked team in America rush the court, you must not be used to winning...AND Tech was favored

I live in a house full of ky fans.....somehow the 2015 championship "accidentally" got deleted....but I am getting the last laugh....most of ky games are on SEC network. I have them convinced we have to pay extra for it and don't have it.......it's free!!!

I’m the same way. I’ve watched basically every single game for the last 10 years and the only things I can really remember is..

Rivers hitting the game winner against UNC and Grayson going off against Wisconsin in the 2015 Championship game.
