I respectfully disagree. I think his performance showed the exact opposite of mental instability. He could have let those misses and turnovers determine his performance. Aside from Grayson’s shooting and Wendell’s rebounding, Tre’s solid, steady play down the stretch is the only thing the team had at times.
Before the season, K said Tre hadn’t found his verve. I think he proved he had it tonight and then some.
Let’s talk about Tre for a minute. It has been a while since I’ve been hat proud of a Duke player. The kid killed it out there tonight.
- The length of this team is mentioned a lot. It starts with Tre. 6’2-6’3 with a 6’10 wingspan. That’s stupid length. Another Duke guard boasted measurable like that too.
- His shot is a work in progress, but he didn’t let his misses dictate his play. How mature is that?
- This is now 5+ point guards he has hassled into multiple turnovers and bad games. The dude is the truth on defense. We’ve had plenty of point guards kill us in the past. He might be our best defender at the 1 spot since Duhon.
- He went to the Kyrie Irving school of glass spinning. Layups in traffic against 2 or 3 defenders are automatic with him. He’s super dynamic.
Loving what Tricky has brought to the team. We said it before the season. There will be times he makes bad plays that create runs the wrong way, and there’s will be times his talent alone wins games for us. The latter was true tonight.
He and Grayson we causing havoc at the top of that zone, and they could be aggressive because of the bigs playing behind them. Interesting choice for Coach K to go to it.
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.
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.No disrespect to JJ, but I'd take Allen 8 days a week. He's a complete player and will lead these guys.
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 timeLet’s talk about Tre for a minute.

What's the last Duke team that could have handled a game that was that physical? Maybe our last two NC teams?
Ok neighborhood pissed . Guess what color that smoke rolling off that rear tire was? LMMFAO !!!!!! GO DUKE !
If he didn't it will be a misdemeanor. HeheTell the neighbors to chill, at least you had clothes on when you did it.
You had clothes on, right?
98-99 and 00-01 Duke teamsWhat's the last Duke team that could have handled a game that was that physical? Maybe our last two NC teams?
The rest of the country is already scared. RR has 10 threads about Duke on their first page.
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”
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.Absolutely pathetic. Those particular posters are a waste of skin.
OFC
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.Absolutely pathetic. Those particular posters are a waste of skin.

This game is giving me flashbacks to that first game against Wisconsin during the '14-'15 season. My gut is telling me MSU's experience will give them the edge - but I said that 3 years ago and Duke came through in style!
The key is going to be poise. Grayson has a huge opportunity to set the tone and show who he is as a leader. Win or lose, we're going to learn a lot about where our team is right now.
I’m really liking the way that Trevon is playing so far through the first three games of the season.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.
Yes. Racial, not racist, per se. They're completely different players... yet they get compared to each other for SOME reason.Racial? Maybe I'm wrong but JJ and Allen are both white?
He’s special now, but I️ hear what your sayinI did. I'm not saying he's bad Show lol. I'm saying once he has it all together with more big games under his belt he's going to be special.
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.No disrespect to JJ, but I'd take Allen 8 days a week. He's a complete player and will lead these guys.
Is white/caucasion not a race? It's seriously a lazy comparison. Both guys are white and both can shoot derp derpRacial? Maybe I'm wrong but JJ and Allen are both white?
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.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.

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.
Not really. Their guard play isn't good enough to be a real factor imo.
O'Connell wil be the nextYes. Racial, not racist, per se. They're completely different players... yet they get compared to each other for SOME reason.

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.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.
