Game day! Against the mighty pride of Hofstra coming in at 6-3

Coaches by second year coach Speedy Claxton the pride comes in looking for a signature win.. could this be it??

I think we struggle, Hofstra seems solid and better than GT….

Duke- 77
Hofstra- 72

 

[JimboSlice00]

Hofstra is a really good mid major. 78-74 Duke.

Didn't think we'd be sweating Hofstra at the season's start but here we are. Just win and improve.

Agree with not thinking we'd be sweating Hofstra. Just winning isn't good enough though. We are at home and should beat them like a rented drum.

 

[GAAP_rivals]

It took overtime for Hofstra to beat High Point. Assuming Duke can handle them easily at CIS.

Duke wins

 

[AlanInNJ]

I think there will be more stumbles along the way, especially in ACC games, but I think we will build off last weekend's win and handle Hofstra fairly easily.

Like to see Stewart with 15 minutes. Give Flip a rest if we are up 20.

I would like to see Stewart and Power each get more minutes than Young. Jon,please call some sets for TJ.

DUKE, 88-72

Agree Hart. I like Young, but he's at his ceiling. Stewart and Power shouldn't be.

Yes!

I'm watching TJ, he needs his position to be defined.

 

[K-oach Q]

We can’t guard these guys at all….and we need to stop switching the high ball screen leaving the corner guy dropping into the middle to cover and leaving the corner shooter wide open.

 

[LetsGoDuke83]

This team can’t miss

 

[JimboSlice00]

Anyone who has payed attention to hoops the last few years would know this would be a tough game. Hofstra is no joke.

Good Transfers and Well Coach. They got the personality of the coach.

 

[K-oach Q]

This game sure has that feel to it…

 

[denverexpat]

I guess the scouting report to close out the 3 ball went unheard....Hostra has a nice rhythm to their offense. We dont seem to be able to penetrate from our guards

 

[K-oach Q]

I’m more worried about our defense than our offense this game. Teams still continually putting Filip into pick and roll and he’s a train wreck guarding it.

 

[Jamession3]

I appreciate these 4 guards.

 

[Jamession3]

Flip needs to post

 

[K-oach Q]

Very lucky Dubar just missed that corner three…he couldn’t have been more wide open again.

 

[Jamession3]

Get the ball to the block

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Better defense to end the half.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Hopefully they cool down from three and keep giving Flip the ball on the block. They have no answer for him.

 

[Mac9192]

May have been Flip’s best first half of the season. Loved our ball movement.

News flash: make someone other than #1 and 23 beat us.

 

[christophero]

5 point halftime lead. Could be better; could be worse. The 99 team we are not.

 

[GAAP_rivals]

Very lucky Dubar just missed that corner three…he couldn’t have been more wide open again.

He came in shooting 35% and was 5-7 before that miss. It's called mean reversion.

 

[denverexpat]

Lets come out with a 10-0 run like to old days to begin the half...I miss those days...

 

[AlanInNJ]

Hofstra guards are “old” and good. They hit some really tough shots. Let’s cruise to a 15 point lead by the 15 min mark.

 

[AlanInNJ]

Ugh. And her come the turnovers.

 

[Jamession3]

Flip start posting, it changes everything.

 

[pisgah101]

Crazies are solid again tonight

 

[Jamession3]

Thank You Mark Mitchell...strong dunk.

 

[christophero]

Looking much better in second half.

 

[K-oach Q]

Looking much better in second half.

Much! This pick and roll with Mark that keeps leaving Filip wide open is good. As long as he keeps shooting 3s like he is…Mark has space to drive too if he wants.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Once again....thank goodness Flip plays for us. He's been an absolute star tonight. He might fu*k around and get a triple double

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Defense has really looked better for the most part in stretches these last two games.
