lol how was there not a VT foul in that situation ? And the one called on young was absurd
This is the proctor I’ve been waiting to see

It's a big-time road win for our guys tonight in a place we usually struggle in. I'm pumped!
Hell of a W. 5 quad 1 wins! Let's go!
What a great win, feels like it’s been forever there. I was totally wrong on this one
It's unreal how much better we are with Rese playing to his potential, or near potential.
Love the speed Duke played with on Offensive. Getting better. Ryan young played awesome!
7-1 in Jan, with all these injuries, is impressive.
To all who predicted us to loose, DUKE WINS!!!

Really good win. Other than maybe the last 4 minutes of the first half, we played a great game. GTHC!
Nobody predicted us to loose
All around good game by The Blue Devils. Didn’t like the layups the guys were giving up, but they held the best 3 point shooting team in the ACC to 26% tonight. The guys need to work on their free throws.
Continue to Evolve, Duke. I Like These Blue Devils.

Just finished the game and Heck of a win. Glad I was wrong about how we would look.. here’s my thoughts
1. Charges are being called again.. so weird
2. Flip doesn’t seem to care anymore, kind of seems to be sleepwalking.. I really wonder if he regrets returning , we looked better with young in there and I kinda hope Jon sends a message and starts him over flip Saturday
3. Out Guard play is amazing
4. Big big time win in a place we rarely win.

Out of curiosity, what do you mean Flip doesn’t care? He was very aggressive tonight. He missed free throws and needs to fix that, but I saw him embrace Proctor during one of the timeouts.
Very nice team win. A lot of guys contributed and Proctor has definitely turned the corner. It seems like he is calm and in control, can score or set others up. His play is making us a different team. Frankly, this is the Proctor we expected and need. Jeremy also played really well, and Young was great in moments. Really, a lot of guys contributed tonight. Nice to see an overall team win in a tough road environment.
It may be tough on who gets the game ball. A good win. Young gave solid minutes, with 10 and 5. McCain didn’t shoot well, but led the team with 10 rebounds. That’s impressive, especially when he’s only 6-3. Flip with a workmanlike 14 and 8.
Proctor was nice and steady, and Roach was Roach.

Bring on those tar holes on Saturday night
I’m not sure how you got that from flip. He played well imo through BS officiating.
We only won by 10 but this by far was the best game they’ve played this season, we need similar play saturday
Coaches deserve heavy praise for this gameplan. They ran Pedulla and Catoor off of the three point line and made them drivers. Those guys have killed us off of screens the past few years, and we switched everything out top to make it difficult to get open looks off of the screen. Great defensive gameplan. On offense, we had an answer every single time. I hate that Foster didn't get much run in the 2nd half, but how could you take Roach out, he was cookin!
What is this then?????Blacksburg

Quick turnaround for the devils. Hopefully we see something… anything different or we will lose tonight.. we are a 3.5 pt favorite
Tech is 13-7 so another mediocre ACC school that would love to get a signature win.
Duke-70
VT-76

It was one of Flips best games in a while. He made some great passes and always has to defend an inside threat from opposition
The win at Pitt, the Blue Devils played very well too.
I think the majority of us are confused as to why Pisgah was disappointed in Flip’s performance tonight. Flip finished with 14 and 8.
Wow great win. Short turnaround. Ryan Young is my favorite Duke player since Winslow. Heart of a lion despite his limitations
Lets get a W Saturday!

I didn’t get to watch the game due to work but followed on my phone. Nice to see us keep Tech at arms length thru the second half and come away with a double digit ACC road win against a good Tech team.
Let’s go into Saturday loose as the underdog and take it to UNC. I am looking forward to a good game. Duke guards > UNC guards? I say yes!!

Ryan Young stays ready! Flip gets in foul trouble against Baylor and Virginia Tech and Young comes into make heady and winning plays!
Foster also got the offense going in the first 7 minutes of the game.

In the words of one of our favorites, Quinn Cook, “Duke is Never The Underdog!”
I agree never the underdog. It's going to be nice playing them as the favorite and both teams playing well. I think it's going to be a fun game to watch
Really looking forward to seeing the game plan the coaching staff has to take out the tar heels

That can’t be right! A lot of people have been saying The Blue Devils aren’t good! How did they get these made up facts??!????
Flip is going to have a monster game Saturday- you heard it here first!
I see our guys clicking on all cylinders on Saturday night and making a Statement, “We are here and we are a contender!!!”
I thought we played pretty loose given the hostile environment. Seriously possibly our best win of the season considering. Flip seems a little off; maybe a cold or minor injury? We are starting to look like a 2 or 3 seed. 2 if we get the win Saturday. We are healthy for the most part.
I actually love that this upcoming game is at UNC. Let's attack that environment. They are really good, but as others have said, we definitely have the talent to match them. I'm looking forward to it.
Some thoughts while watching highlights.
We are much better with Mitchell. He's that big, athletic 6-8 wing. No one else on the team like him.
Young seals off his guy to allow McCain to breeze in for a lay up. Basically a block out and smart play.
Foster is smooth. He is going to be very good next year.
Roach looks like he's back. Not 100% but getting there
VT is a veteran team. Like their guards. Nice win on the road.

The roles are starting to be defined. The ball movement was incredible tonight, the guys getting to their spots on the court and they were looking for each other!
The commentators said it tonight, “when you have these many 3 point shooters on one team, good luck trying to defend them!”
lol you still don’t get it.. of course mediocre @bleediteveryday30 likes it too. He’s probably as lost as you on it
I guess saying flip dont care was a poor choice of words.. but you’re lying to yourself if you think he’s bringing the same intensity we saw last year and some throughout the year over the last two games.. seems lost a lot and the lack of concentration on free throws is scary
