The dreadful Pitt Panthers come to Duke tonight led by seat that’s so on fire it might have already disintegrated Jeff Capel- we are a 16.5 point favorite in what needs to be a show of strength game

Duke-100
Pitt-60

 

[Another#1Dukie]

It's actually at Pitt.

Duke by a lot.

 

[The Only Blue]

Last night I saw Pat being questionable. We should win regardless but both Cam and Maliq gotta play smart.

 

[Mac9192]

I have a feeling Pitt is in for a long night.

 

[JustAfanatic]

Oh, I was afraid the season was over.

Duke 90
Pitt 57

My bad thanks!

Might as well be I heard

 

[dukesince91]

I guess the Arizona fan base are gloom and doom this morning.

 

[The Only Blue]

Can't upload photos but just saw Pat with big wrap on his left hand smh

 

[JustAfanatic]

Would you guess a cut? Sprain? Break?

 

[The Only Blue]

No clue. It's on the Duke IG page where all the guys are together in a huddle.

 

[The Only Blue]

Ok found a pic

 

[JustAfanatic]

Can’t tell …

Hopefully minor

 

[Another#1Dukie]

To me, "questionable" is better than "out". If it's something minor, I'd prefer he sit out this game to be ready for Clempson.

 

[Mac9192]

I hope it's nothing to be too concerned with. On that note, it's a golden opportunity for a player or two to step up to the plate. I'm talking to you Khamenia.

 

[JimboSlice00]

I hope he can sit and heal for Clemson but not be out tonight completely and there if Booz and Cam somehow get into foul trouble. I realize Pitt is pretty bad, especially with their best player out but this is a game they must bounce back and not let Pitt hang around.

 

[christophero]

Pitt sucks.
Duke by 40.

 

[sheyduke]

Duke and I hope the bench plays a lot . Khamenia especially.

 

[Bleediteveryday83]

No Big Pat tonight. Damn.

 

[sheyduke]

Hasn’t his hand been wrapped most the season.

 

[JustAfanatic]

I’m pretty sure it’s the other hand.

 

[christophero]

We will need Pat down the home stretch.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Just have to hope Maliq plays smart tonight as no Big Pat leaves this team thin in the front court. Sure, Nik is 6’8 but he doesn’t seem ready to bang the boards. I suppose Sarr could give some spot minutes with his length and defense but he’s thin so not ideal.

Def need Pat back for Saturday and hopefully we just simply our talent Pitt tonight.

 

[Bleediteveryday83]

I’m pretty sure it’s the other hand.

I thought it was the same hand?

 

[JustAfanatic]

I read somewhere that it was the other hand but it could have been bad info.. idk

 

[JimboSlice00]

Man there are alot of times Nik looks like he just isn’t ready for D1 basketball. Jeez

 

[sheyduke]

It’s the other hand but man what has happened to Khamenia’s shot ? Not the start I expected and a kid that shoots 30 percent from 3 is now 3for3 from there .

 

[The Only Blue]

How was Nik ranked #15? He looks like he belongs in D2

 

[Bleediteveryday83]

Of course a horrible 3 point shooting team is going off. We look out of sorts.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Maliq has to play smarter. Hopefully we just keep feeding Booz and get out of here with a win. We certainly look out of sorts.

 

[Mac9192]

Not a bad half. Kid for Pitt kept them in it. Glad to see Harris see a deep one fall, but poor Khamenia. I don’t think he could hit sand if he fell off a camel.

 

[sheyduke]

Evans looks like he’s hit a wall . We can keep going through Boozer but that just reassures to every other team stop the other four players and let Boozer get his and you can beat Duke .

 

[JustAfanatic]

Scheyer said imaging was clear on Pats wrist but it’s very sore.

 

[sheyduke]

Not a bad half. Kid for Pitt kept them in it. Glad to see Harris see a deep one fall, but poor Khamenia. I don’t think he could hit sand if he fell off a camel.

Come on now Mac . Not a bad half? Pitt isn’t Miami they are literally last in the league and Duke is only down Big Pat . After UNC hit an open three to win the game you’d think we’d defend the three better yet a kid who is 30percent from 3 has hit three of them Pitt as a whole had seven made . Don’t know what exactly was gone over after Saturday .

 

[christophero]

Nik and Sarr are officially the Brick Brothers. Good grief.

 

[Bleediteveryday83]

We are an offensively challenged team. Oof.

 

[Bleediteveryday83]

This team is an enigma on offense. Thank God for Foster and Slim. They carried us tonight.

 

[The Only Blue]

Finally starting to make some outside shots!

 

[The Only Blue]

This team is an enigma on offense. Thank God for Foster and Slim. They carried us tonight.

As Corey Alexander said many times tonight, Foster is a big strong guard. An aggressive Foster is a good Foster

 

[Bleediteveryday83]

The Foster we saw tonight is the one we need to make it to Indy. And boy we miss Pat. These last two games have proven just how important he is to our success on both ends.
