Official Gameday thread- Duke vs VT II

[pisgah101]

Revenge time again! Game is scheduled for an 8pm tip on ESPN in Cameron. At time of writing duke is a 7 point favorite.

It feels like the “win to be in” sentiment has passed and we can focus on seeding now. VT is a bottom feeder that has already beaten us once but I feel like that won’t happen again. We get our revenge and move on to the next one


Duke- 77
VT-62

Pisg, I like your confidence! We should be ready. If Whitehead hadn't gotten hurt, I think we win the first nail biter at Blacksburg. He was having a solid game, and went down with 10 points. As it played out we were in it to the end, with the Flip throat punch NO CALL looming as a difference maker.

No trap game here, Jon has the guys READY!! DUKE, 75-66.

OFC

Catoor of course goes ballistic from 3 but Duke holds on.

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

Play strong and aggressive defense and rebound strong and we win big!! GO DUKE!!!

I think Duke wins by around 10 points. Healthy now and still improving.

 

[christophero]

We should win. 7 point favorite sounds about right. Stay healthy and don't overlook VT as the next 2 games are harder.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Let's come out and punch them in the throat! Duke!

 

[sheyduke]

Let's come out and punch them in the throat! Duke!

Better not Bleed, they will call it on us lol.

Duke wins .

 

[The Only Blue]

Either Pedulla or Cattoor come out hot against us to keep it close. We start to create a little distance midway in the second half but then we get cold and go through another dry spell. Tech comes back but we hang on to win by a few

 

[Dad2ze]

Duke wins by 10.

Duke - 73
VT - 63

 

[AlanInNJ]

You called in bleed. How about we come out and just take this one from the opening tip?

Don’t overlook VT. They can be dangerous.

State coming off a blowout loss today so our mid week game is going to be a test.

And UNC will be primed next weekend probably needing a win to make the tourney.

Prepare for everyone. Overlook nobody! Let’s keep this train rolling.

Duke 81

[christophero]

I've got chicken chow mein for the game. When I eat junk food Duke wins. I also bought Klondike bars to be safe.

 

[christophero]

Let's go Duke! I broke down and bought some Coors Light, so anything dumb I say we can chalk it up to the beer. (I really need to hit the gym tomorrow)

 

[Fourteen44]

Good passing so far

 

[Fourteen44]

That was an abysmal charge call. Wow.

 

[kwyjibos13]

I have checked the score twice on ESPN. I am out for the night. I still blame the 2004 ACC Tournament loss on getting up from the couch…

 

[christophero]

No slow start today. 19-7 Duke. This team is starting to put it together...
22-12 now. Proctor Lively and Mitchell off to fast starts.

 

[christophero]

The good news: Proctor is really putting it together.
The bad news: Proctor is really putting it together. He has become a very good defender in the last 2 weeks.
2 fouls on Flip. Don't let them back in it.

 

[Fourteen44]

Annnndddd a guy who hasn’t hit a 3 all year had hit 2 now, last one being and one.

 

[christophero]

Young playing good.

 

[Fourteen44]

Catoor ran into him

 

[bleediteveryday30]

What the ****?!!!!!!!!!

 

[SWEc/o95]

What a BS call. That fool ran straight into him.

 

[Ioliva]

What did grand do I missed it

 

[IFaZe]

Lmfao this shts rigged .

 

[SWEc/o95]

What did grand do I missed it

Nothing but stick his elbow out to brace for an impact of a moron who ran straight into him.

 

[christophero]

We are letting them back in the game. Whitehead has kind of vanished. Is Blakes going to play again this year? Right as I say that Whitehead scores. Nice.

 

[Fourteen44]

Young has been a defensive liability tonight….

 

[SWEc/o95]

Has Scheyer even got a tech this year?

 

[christophero]

Man I would love to have Mitchell back next year. Dare to dream.

 

[JimboSlice00]

What a BS tech call that was. Cannot get screwed on our own court, Jon better go nuts

 

[AlanInNJ]

Let’s take a 10 pt lead into halftime and bury them in the first 5 of the second half.

 

[Fourteen44]

Man I would love to have Mitchell back next year. Dare to dream.

He’s not even in many mock drafts. Where’s he going to go? Transfer?

 

[christophero]

See Hurt, Stanley, Steward, Duval, Bolden. We do have a decent shot at getting him back.
11 point lead at the half. Good first half now let's finish. Mitchell the first half MVP with 11 and 6. If Mitchell keeps playing like this he will be on mock drafts.

Hurt and Bolden aren’t good comparisons - multi year

Stanley was older.

Duval had incredible hype around him and was in some mock drafts.

Steward was on crack.

 

[christophero]

My point is Duke players declare even if they aren't on mock drafts. I'm really hoping this changes.

I get it, but Mitchell would be a real head-scratcher, IMO.

 

[christophero]

I hear you man. Mitchell reminds me of Battier sometimes. he's a jack of all trades. Flip needs to get back on track.
3rd foul on Lively! ARRRRRRRR
