Corey Alexander’s a moron
Omg James tripped over Gillis because nc state collided with him meaning the foul should be on Gillis

I was thinking there might be an illness going around and damn if Maluach didn’t toss his grits.
Man we are missing Malik Brown so much. His on the ball D and his ability to limit Maluach's minutes. I think his extended play is part of getting sick on the court. Ngonba has to step up here.
Not a single 3 from the backcourt. Anyone know when Foster last put a basketball through the rim? Surely in practice?
They play out of their mind against Duke while bending over for the heels usually sans one miracle game in the ACC T.
To be fair to him shooting one or two a game isn’t ideal for breaking out of a slump
I hope that young lady that passed out is okay.
Crazy night.
I know it's a physical defensive game, so I wouldn't expect a lot of minutes but otherwise Evans is just not getting on the court ... Could have used a couple of 3s by him.
Once again Jon is reverting to the "Coach K fear of playing his bench in a tight game." Which tends to backfire in March.

A win is a win. Hopefully Mal is good for Saturday.
Also, essentially halfway through- is Cooper the best freshman in Duke history? Thought I’d never even ask that after Zion.

Very disappointed in the guard play tonight, holes will be all over this game scouting it. And they have better players than State.
One thing I have liked about foster even though he has been bad of late. He is attacking off the dribble well and is usually good for an assist or two in his minimal minutes. He beats his man pretty easily. And pushes the ball up the floor quickly.
His defense and shooting is worrisome. This team hasn’t looked good offensively (where everyone is contributing) since SMU. I thought foster made a jump that game but seems to not be playing as free since then.
Apparently, Brown was in the warmup line tonight? Hopefully, he’s back in the next game or two.
Found a new defensive weapon (going zone) and a new contributor in the rotation tonight with Ngongba
Please give Duke any combination of
Nc State
Wake Forest
Clemson
Louisville
in the ACC Tournament

Won't call it pretty. But these are games that we lose in years past. Take the W and move on.
what a mess.....Kon needs to rethink jacking it up all the time....Proctor has to contribute more...and no one seems to be running or leading this team....it shouldnt be Flagg carrying us every game...the last 2 games havent boosted my confidence in Scheyer's ability - we are the better pick up team at this point, thanks to athletism and talent.
14 straight wins. I don't care how we do it as long as we keep winning. State played their out-of-body experience game, which we always lose, and we won. We outscored them 52-29 after going down 35-22. Jon with some great called plays and coaching moves. Cooper is one of one.
We're playing with fire and it's gonna burn is soon if we don't fix it. At this point I'm just hoping we're healthy come Saturday.
Next game state will shoot 5-23 from 3 just like after ND played us

I think Flagg is more mature. Not an insult to Zion. I didn't feel this way early, which I put more on Scheyer than him, but he is great at assessing situations. He knows when to be selfish and when not to be. Not a fan of his turnovers, but that can be worked out.
A win is a win but Duke better bring a way better all around game this Saturday.
Not pretty at all. We are lucky to have Cooper, that’s obvious. Kon is just a solid player, but is a freshman. I know there’s a lot of talk about Foster’s lack of contribution, but there’s too many games in my opinion where Proctor doesn’t give us much offensively, and tonight was another. He had 4 points, 2 at the free throw line. He’s a junior. And I think he is way too passive.
Jon pulled another good move out again, going zone, which was enough to get State out of rhythm.

I don’t know that he is beating very many people off the dribble. Idk….
Wondering if this squad is more along the lines of the 1987/88 or 1988/89 Duke teams. Legit 2 seed, top 10 teams that did end up in the Final Four. Flagg is a more talented Danny Ferry, who also played with generally unimpressive guards himself, but they were a good defensive team and had a good (not great) cast. This team won’t have 7 or 8 losses like those teams (28-7, 28-8) but that’s thanks to the ACC this year while Ferry’s teams had to contend with great ACC Coaches.
Proctor has been bad lately offensively. Even at the FT line. Not gonna cut it in March.
The last two games have felt more late K like. Less assists per basket. Shorter bench minutes. More nba style of getting it to your top 2-3 guys in spots that they like the ball. The offense has not flowed and not looked like 90s K teams.
Yall are all overreacting. We won against a team that ALWAYS literally ALWAYS plays out of their mind against us to just crumble after. Good win take it and move on. We got some tough game pressure and overcame it
Ok. Now that the games over I'd like to reiterate how hot Kon's mom is. Lol
Did you know she was born a biological male and that Kon is adopted?
Hey man. I said take the W and move on. Don't lump me in with these chicken littles.
