I’m out of town so I wanted to get this out early as I’ll prob miss the game. I hate long lay offs but expect this to be an easy win for Jon’s 100th win

Duke-104
Lip- 52

 

[Kingbluedevil]

Big game for Jon to get 100. That was quick

 

[The Only Blue]

Thank God we're back to playing! Let's get the win and get everyone going again and ramp up for Texas tech on Saturday.

 

[christophero]

The flaming lips.

 

[Dad2ze]

This may get ugly. Duke secures the win and the managers will be subbing in after the half

Duke - 101
Lipscomb - 49

 

[JustAfanatic]

90-59

Blowout after half, up low double figures at half.

Pat doesn’t miss from the field.

 

[DukeFromNYC33]

Think we start slow and rusty then dominate.
Duke 90
Lipscomb 59

Evans hits six 3’s.

 

[Mac9192]

Happy to see the boys back in action. Should be a good warm up for the weekend.

 

[The Only Blue]

What are we doing?

 

[JimboSlice00]

Man Sarr just isn’t good. That’s an issue for this team.

 

[JustAfanatic]

Man Sarr just isn’t good. That’s an issue for this team.

I thought I was going to have to be the first to say it…..

 

[sheyduke]

WTF??? Did Duke not practices for ten days on nothing ?

 

[The Only Blue]

Lol. We so bad right now

 

[DukeCorey21]

They are sleep walking thru this one. Going to need a great halftime speech by Coach. Wake this team up. Might be down 10 soon

 

[sheyduke]

14 turnovers and hardly any offense from Duke . I get Duke will win but I’m not sure we should look this bad headed into Texas tech

 

[DukeCorey21]

There is no guarantee Duke wins this one

 

[JimboSlice00]

Has anyone ever seen a Duke team play this sloppy in recent memory? I legitimately have never seen a team play so careless.

at this point, they are going to have to hit a lot of outside shots to get out of here with a win.

 

[Mac9192]

Sixteen turnovers in 20 minutes, and it wasn’t just a guy or two. We spreaded throwing the ball away really well.
Evans, Khamenia, Sarr, and Cayden are seeing who can stink up the gym the most.

They better all come out and play like their a**e* are on fire.

 

[christophero]

Too much eggnog. Patrying with the elves. We ain't losing to these scrubs. But we might Saturday.

Duke is loosing Saturday I already marked it for the first loss . Dukes 1-3 isn’t going to be able to handle Anderson, Pettis and Toppin. They will let Cameron eat as long as the other four aren’t scoring

 

[christophero]

My dad used to say his team would only listen to him after a loss.

 

[sheyduke]

My dad used to say his team would only listen to him after a loss.

My one question is does Scheyer ever look mad ? I mean yes we knew Duke would win but man the turnovers are unforced and unreal .

 

[christophero]

I don't think John Wooden could keep Sarr from turning it over. Handle needs work.

 

[JimboSlice00]

I’ll take a win and we are 11-0. But Sarr is an issue and I don’t think Jon can give him anymore than 10 minutes a game. He’s been a huge disappointment.
More minutes for Harris? I think you have to give him more now Sarr is a liability.

 

[christophero]

Harris at the 3?

 

[JimboSlice00]

Harris at the 3?

Not sure but do you think Sarr looks like someone who can remotely help this team? Bricks for hands, absolute liability at the line, zero handle…. Just to name a few issues here.

 

[christophero]

A win is a win. Wake up call for Saturday. Guard play matters once you hit the sweet 16. Brown was impressive.

 

[Mac9192]

I’m not giving up on Sarr, but we do need him to become someone the other team has to watch out for. The same for Khamenia.

 

[The Only Blue]

Was there something going on with Nik tonight? Only Played 14 minutes going 0-3. Or did we just go with the hotter hand, Harris?

 

[Duke Bluu]

With Sarr and even Khamenia unable to seize that 3 spot, its an opportunity for Cay Booz and Harris to force f*ck their way into heavy minutes. Seize the opportunity

 

[christophero]

Give Harris a start Saturday. Kid plays hard.

 

[The Only Blue]

Coward would've solved all the issues we currently have at the 3

 

[DukeFromNYC33]

The slow start was predictable, it just lasted way longer than expected, credit Lipscomb.

I thought everyone on the team was awful tonight, Foster made a few hustle plays seemed like he cared the most. Sarr and Khamenia have to be better for us to be elite, everyone knows it.

Harris gave us a lift tonight but there’s a reason he’s the 9th man, he just isn’t on the same level defensively as any of the other guys. He’s a weak link and attackable, but we may not have another choice if our freshman don’t figure it out.

You're starting to sound like me lol.
Didn't Nik roll his ankle last week? Those things can linger.

 

[AlanInNJ1]

Sloppy game. 22 turnovers is embarrassing. Hopefully Coach will get them focused for Saturday.

I just bought my tickets for MSG Saturday with 3 of my sons and my DIL. I am expecting to see a more focused effort for sure!! Hoping for a big Duke win at Cameron North!!

 

[christophero]

Cade Tyson had 38 and 11 for Minnesota. Dude is tearing it up. He couldn't hit the side of the backboard last year at UNC. Amazing.
Tennessee thumps Louisville.

 

[sheyduke]

I think Khamenia wasn’t right after his chin hit the floor . Sarr imo , needs to sit an entire game . Harris at this point can make up his production . Duke is going to need more from its backcourt Saturday .

 

[dukesince91]

Sarr just needs to find a lower gear or two on offense. Every time he gets the ball it looks like he’s got one thing on his mind and it ain’t getting rid of it.

 

[Bleediteveryday83]

Got to go last night, and it was special seeing Jon win 100, fastest in the ACC to do it. But damn, for about 2/3 of that game, we looked like we were playing in mud. Thankfully, we woke up. Take care of the ball and defend without fouling, we win by 40+.

11-0, and we've seen a lot already in those games. The scary thing is that we still haven't seen anything close to this team's full potential. Last night's game was a C+ at best, and we still won by 24. I think Sarr and Nick were both pretty awful last night. And Harris had his best game in a Duke uniform.

We still have a lot of room to grow.

Good post. Totally agree that we have room to grow. I think the best three teams right now are Arizona, Michigan, and this one pains me to admit, UConn. I'm not as confident as I wish I was in the team outside of Cam.

Maybe I'm overreacting.
