Duke hasn’t done anything to prove it???? We’ve lost 2 games and played one of the toughest non conference schedules in the nation. Step off the ledge this is a ridiculously bad take
I’m more saying Arizona and Michigan have set the bar high. Duke isn’t there. We managed to grind through the non-con schedule pretty well. But now we are getting to the meat of our ACC schedule starting with last night. And we also have the Michigan game in 2 weeks. It’s prove it time now.

The racist in your avatar would be proud of the way you attempt to deflect instead of admitting you were wrong.

Duke literally rushed the court against Virginia Tech.
You easily have the most useless and idiotic post right here in the whole thread. What a dumb thing to talk about in a basketball conversation. Super trashy stuff from you dude.

I got you I just think we’re still in a really good spot. That Michigan game will tell us a whole lot

Boozer’s push on Veesar rebound that went off Veesar and gave ball back to duke. Two calls on Trimble steals that weren’t really fouls. Point is bad calls go both ways. Duke has been given the ref benefit of the doubt for so long you have come to expect it. Wilson is best player on floor. Duke the better team. Didn’t go duke’s way tonight. They get to play again in a month.
Give me a ******* break. If you want to say K got calls, fine. Jon has not, starting with the final 4 game last year againUH. And the idea that UNC doesn’t benefit from the whistle as much as any team is rich as hell.

Yup. This teams resume is top 3 in the country and #4 is fairly far behind. I actually think we will lose a few more times and very well might end up a 2 seed but that’s okay. They will be battle tested that’s for sure.

Not nearly as trashy as putting a racist/bigot in a profile picture. Every time that guy posts, boom there is a picture of the guy that said all those awful things about black people.

Honestly, how do Duke fans stand coming to a site and seeing that page after page?

as for the other comment- that tells me enough about you
Yes, it tells you I'm one of the people that stands up against racism in this country.

You're obviously on the other side of that battle. Openly supporting racism and bigotry. Putting a picture of a well known racist in PFP, knowing full well all the racist and bigoted things that man says.

Didn't you used to racist pedophile Trump as your PFP before that? Or are there actually 2 Duke fans on this site that publicly show support for evil? The hilarious part is every Duke alum I've ever met staunchly opposes racism, bigotry, and rape... and is embarrassed as hell that baby goebels Stephen Miller attended Duke. Yet you seem like you'd idolize such a creep.

Everyone is praising Sarr. Yeah, the box score says he has a good scoring game, but I think he only scored 2 or 3 in the 2nd half. When you add in Evans having a bad shooting night, Foster scoring 9, and our bigs being non existent in the 2nd half, the writing was on the wall for a loss. Boozer also played soft on D for a while, as it was mentioned by a court side reporter that Jon got onto him for that.

We are also mad about the officiating. I think we have some leg to stand on, but we still should have won.

On offense, everyone not named Cam has to be better. Let’s hope the team is as mad as we are.
How many times did Sarr knock the ball out of Dixon's hands? Dude got deflections and turnovers repeatedly, in addition to knocking down shots. He was great yesterday.

And he's a black man from a foreign country, so you know that Trumper mod must feel awful every time he has to cheer for him.

Hey man I understand you have whatever it is your point of view is. They have The Lounge thread though for all the political and philosophical talk.
Pisgah has been around forever and is a cool dude. I’m not on here looking to find “personal faults” or something in fellow Duke fans.
I’ve seen Obama and Trump avatars on this board, so I think that covers the whole spectrum! I don’t really care who people on here support politically, because that’s an individual choice each person makes.

1. Carolina earned that win. As a Duke fan, rarely, if at all, will I raise the issue of officiating. Thats a UK thing. I just can’t do it. Thats just me.

2. I have very little confidence in Jon during late game situations. Right or wrong, the perception is there for me. Far too often he fails to get it done and the team always looks tight. Even in some of the close wins, things generally appear iffy.

3. No problem with UNC storming the court there. But UNC administration HAS TO do a better job of ensuring the safety of the players if or when it happens. Especially since you got two opportunities to get it right lol

Classic game, disappointing loss. Carolina made some great plays, Duke choked a little bit, Cam has to make that lay in after making the great move. Its a play he makes 9 times out of 10 early in the game.

100% on #2....too many to be a coincidence and we repeat the same mistakes at the end of close games. Our strategy is poor...too predictable and seems sloppy...thats coaching. Its undone us in March.

I think the team has overachieved so far. That may explain why a lot of folk have doubts about this team despite the record, which is great. Do we have anyone besides Boozer who we can count on to deliver every game? This team could go very far, but also feels very vulnerable.
I get what you're saying. The X factor might just be Boozer. He's so smart, and such a team player. I can't remember a time where we had someone as good as him down low, who can step out and hit a three, rebounds like he does, and also be more than willing to pass the ball. He makes life easier on everyone else. This kid has a great feel for the game.

I felt he would be good, but he's a freaking stud. Is he good enough to offset a few of our shortcomings? Time will tell.

Good post it's his choice on avatar. I could give 2 shots for this Charlotte tarheel clown.

Scheyer is doing excellent job but he can be too nice sometimes. I would have started the press conference different. I would have said if we win in the rematch you better believe we storming the court. We get trampled at Wake forest get hit with water bottle here. We going to give every ticket holder a orange when they come in the door. I would bet the weak *** commissioner would come up with rule to stop it then. Lol

On to the next . Duke lost the game because we lost Trimble on the last play point blank period . He hit a three when the game was tied .

Onto Pittsburgh who has 9 wins and their best player is out. Just take care of business and get back on track. Tomorrow cannot come soon enough for this team.

Pat listed as questionable for Tuesday. Injury? We've been very lucky in that regard so far.

Watch the video. No students came onto the floor while the VT players casually walked off the floor.
Back in the day they would let all fans come on the floor postgame. I know I did back in like 2006 when Duke played Valparaiso.

So while Duke fans didn’t storm the court after Dockery’s shot, that image this Tar Heel fan keeps showing us, is probably simply the postgame of that game when everybody would be allowed on the floor. Duke doesn’t allow the casual gathering on the floor postgame anymore.

This is EXACTLY right. As someone who had season tix for multiple years. I saw this many of times.
However the point of contention is that the fans did NOT rush the court right after the shot. You can see on the TV coverage the VT players casually walking off the floor unimpeded and unbothered. They were in shock but they weren't being harassed.

Dockery "The Shot"

I love the fact that the cheat fans rushed the court. It's weak of them to do it as a Blue Blood.
However, it just shows that they've fallen a step or two behind Duke over the past few seasons.
