Officially game day thread- ACC game 1! Duke vs Lville

I’d love to see some Brown/Maluach tandem action. Maluach can guard the lane, and the rest can be more aggressive clamping on the outside. If their men get by, Mal is there to protect the rim. And Brown on the perimeter is such a PITA for the other team, it has to disrupt their offensive scheme.
People have suggested it but it would kill our spacing. While Jon's encouraging Maliq to shoot the corner 3 and he hit a BIG one against KU...he's not a reliable threat or a ball handler to pull the defense out.

Bottom line is we couldn't get to the rim in any capacity with brown & maluach playing at the same time. We could try it, but i suspect the staff knows this, the foul trouble risks, and chooses to split our big guys' minutes that way.

Watching the 10 minute highlights.
1. Want to know why teams hit 3's against us? They have room. You give a Div. 1 player 5 feet and they can hit it. Holding your hand up does not effect them. need to tighten that up.
2. Proctor being very aggressive with the ball, in a good way.
3. Mal looks a little lost out there; esp. on D.
4. I was watching Gillis. He denied his man the ball, then slid over, blocked a shot, and led to a Kon lay up. Kid is smart and solid.
5. Big play with Cooper getting the steal, then getting the 2nd foul on their big man.
6. Sion with some big boy plays. My goodness. That dunk down the lane.
7. My dad the coach would love Brown. Every play he makes is a positive. Creates havoc defensively. Gets guys out of rhythm.
8. Flagg taking over. He has guard skills.
9. Kon had a solid game after the early misses. Made some crafty passes.
10. I'm seeing a mean streak in Flagg I didn't see earlier. Very nice on some tough finishes.
We took their best shot and won by double digits. Good job team.

Please start a thread after games called “Chris stats and stuff” and post this. I would love it

Duke got off to a rough start in Louisville, but they turned it on in the 2nd half and secured the win.

We got a “Let’s Go Duke!” chant going towards the last 5 minutes of the game and the Louisville fans did not appreciate it, they started “booooing” us. Duke Nation showed up at the KFC Yum Center.

We got a picture with Isaiah “Slim” Evans (Brandon Ingram 2.0) and we told him to keep shooting the 3 ball 👌🏽🏀

He nodded his head yes and said “Bet”
