***DUKE VS MICHIGAN STATE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

I totally agree. While his shooting wasn't on, and he struggled to finish at times, he consistently made steals and great decisions in transition. Down the stretch, with the exception of an errant travel, he played well to finish some opportunities and run the show.
Shoutout to his quickness on defense as well. His combination of length, quickness, and anticipation is really stellar. His ability to create live ball turnovers helps a strength of our team, which is getting out in the fast break and finishing.
Great point about not letting the missed shots affect his game. They looked good when they left his hand. I think Dan or Jay mentioned Tre has huge hands as well. But yes, he is Kyrie without a jumpshot. I love this kid!
I would have too. Like usual, MSU can’t shoot. It’s no secret that the only Izzo team to beat K also happens to be probably the most guard heavy team he ever had.
What's the last Duke team that could have handled a game that was that physical? Maybe our last two NC teams?
Why even start this? Seriously, it's just dumb and divisive imo. Both are all time greats and are completely different players. Honestly, it feels more like a racial thing more than anything else. Again, just dumb.
Tre definitely is a cool customer, which Tyus was. He doesn't get too rattled and keeps his composure, which helps our team. He has some weakness and didn't shoot it well from the field, but the fact that he really had a huge impact on the game says a lot about him as a cmoplete basketball player
I am not really concerned with his shooting from the field we can live with that but his ft shot concerns me,especially since he will have in the ball in his hands at crunch time
I am only mentioning it because teams will pack the lane if Gray and Gary are off. It’s less a concern and more of a thing that will make this team virtually unguardable.
09-10 could. 10-11 could. 14-15 could. 12-13 could. In the past 10 years, that’s probably it. That used to be a staple of Duke ball. This team is a throwback to the early 2000’s style of play.
Tell the neighbors to chill, at least you had clothes on when you did it.
You had clothes on, right?
Yes. And they’re as classy as ever. I really thought Carolina had zero class(es) before I discovered Rupp Rafters.
“Anyone feel bad for the kid who cheated to get to college (and the NBA) a year early that just got poked in the eye and may not return this game? Anyone?
I wouldn't shed a tear if him or Duval went down...”
“I hope Bagley loses some eye sight in that right eye thanks to his team mate.
I dont feel sorry for # set for life”
I really liked that all of our top players seemed to want the ball at the end of the game. It looked like the pressure brought out the swagger in them, and the confidence. I hope they keep that up. It's nice to have a team full of those players.
Yea I know u try not to have hate in you but my goodness it’s hard not to when you read stuff like that. I wish Kansas would pull away and beat them.
There is a funny uk poster on the main board. I get a real kick out of him. I really don’t know how he keeps his posting privileges but he is a hoot.
Yeah, I can't understand people like that.
Oh, and if UK can find a way to beat Kansas, they'll start printing those 40-0 t-shirts again.
OFC
Racial? Maybe I'm wrong but JJ and Allen are both white?
I’m really liking the way that Trevon is playing so far through the first three games of the season.
Points-13.3 ppg
Assists-10 apg
Steals-4 spg
Turnovers-1.3 topg
Yes. Racial, not racist, per se. They're completely different players... yet they get compared to each other for SOME reason.
And the hate. Ferry, Laettner, Hurley, Collins, Wojo, JJ, Paulus, Josh, Zoubs, Kyle, 3 Plums, Kelly, Grayson... There aren't many Black Duke players in the K era who would crack that list for how much they were hated on by opposing fans.
I don’t know. It’s a tough call to make. It’s always hard for me to go against what JJ accomplished at Duke! Grayson is a complete player and certainly had a JJ type performance and has a national championship and JJ should have at least one national championship, but what JJ did at Duke night in night out and all the records he broke while at Duke, I’m sorry and this is no discrediting what Grayson has done at Duke whatsoever , but I gotta go with JJ.

I agree with both of you.
JJ has had the better career so far (we'll see what happens this year), and he ranks higher on my list of all-time favorite Duke players.
BUT, if both are seniors and I need one player to come in and get the W, I'd probably go with Grayson. He just has a fire in him.

This ones for you Coach Capel.
Is white/caucasion not a race? It's seriously a lazy comparison. Both guys are white and both can shoot derp derp
You need to put the glue down. The comment was made that Allen's performance was JJ like. I made my comment that I would prefer Allen over JJ, and no disrespect to JJ. You do realize both are white, or are you that dumb? JJ was great, but Allen to me is special. Please don't be an idiot.
A lazy comparison how?? Both are white, can shoot, scoreblike crazy, lead a team, improved over there freshman season. Coach K even compared the two last night before you derp derp me dummy
Okay I'm not disagreeing but it's my fault the black guys at Duke aren't hated. My thing was I don't believe comparing the two racial and I don't think anyone else does either. Both are white yes and a point of comparison but not near the only one. Give me a black player at Duke that is closer to Allen? Nolan maybe? But I think we all agree Grayson is better than him and more on the JJ level then him

You don't think MSU will be very good by March? Even without Bagley, Duke is a good team and we needed a player to drop 37 (!) points to beat them.
MSU IS a good team, and yes they will be better by March, but we beat them without arguably our best player , and we will be better by March as well. Will Grayson score 37 against them again? Maybe, maybe not. But with Bagley playing he probably doesn’t need to.
Player comparisions are inevitable, thats part of the enjoyment we as fans get w/our love of the game and more specifically Duke Basketball.
An innocent comparision and you're trying to stir the pot based on RACE? No way....OFC
Great win. I love this duke team and think they will win a lot of games. The only negative last night was the warm shirts....
