2024-2025 Duke Blue Devils

Great Season Duke 😈!
35-4
Undefeated Season at Home
ACC Regular Season Champions
ACC Tournament Champions
Final 4

Extremely Proud of These Connected Blue Devils. They were very unselfish and were A Team. Efficiency Wise, one of Duke’s Best Teams on both the Defensive and Offensive Ends of the Court Historically. Really Enjoyed watching this group Evolve throughout the 2024-2025 Season.

Cooper Flagg, Kon Knueppel, and Khaman Maluach were all as good as Advertised. Looking forward to watching them have Successful Careers in the NBA. Flagg is Duke’s Best Freshman to ever lace them up for The Blue Devils. He is going to be a Great Pro.

Men’s College Basketball plays a big role in my family’s life. It’s one of the ways we Bond. Last night a couple cousins, an aunt and uncle, my parents, and I watched the Duke vs Houston game together. I am very Grateful to Experience these moments with my family.

Keep your heads up everyone. We woke up today.

Official game day thread- THE final four- Duke vs Houston

Got to be biggest choke job in history of sports
Whether you’re a troll or not, yes our boys choked. Played more than good enough to win the first 30 minutes, up double digits.
But the saying is true, it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish.

Dude. I haven't read what everyone has said about Proctor. But a) fans get angry and frustrated like anyone else. And a board like this is a way to express one's frustrations as well as observations. Better than doing it some other way.

Lighten up.

And, b) Stating the reality that Proctor had a bad game and, frankly, did not perform when Duke needed him to, and expected him to, the most is not "trashing" him. It's a fact. He shot terribly from 3, missing every one (0-4) and they were open 3s, after shooting 41% in the season. And he went 3-5 from the line, but most crucially one of those misses was the front end of a one-and-one. His FT shooting has inexplicably gone from 87% as a freshman (1.7 of 1.9 per game) to 68% as s Jr. (1.3 of 1.9 per game). It's disappointing. If no one cared about that and wasn't frustrated then they wouldn't be a passionate fan.

I feel bad for him, he's been a good team player, but there's no sugar coating the fact that he did not show up offensively in this game the way Duke needed and expected him to. He makes his FTs, or even goes 5-6 including both in the 1 & 1, and shoots 1 of 4 (25%) from 3, we win the game.
Talking about him playing bad is one thing but they're are loads of people trashing him everywhere. And Jon too.

Dude, I'm done with these people who trash our players and coaches. We have a thread with people talking about how wrong they were about Scheyer and now he's trash to some? Bullshit. Proctor is being trashed by some here and all over the place. It's a shame. These kids gave us everything and people turn on them just like that. I'm disgusted in the way we lost and the reactions of some of our "fans".

If Proctor doesn't declare he's returning to Duke for his senior year, I think we know Flagg, Kon, and Mal are gone. Gillis and James are out of eligibility. Who knows about the rest? Mal should come back, but his situation probably ends any talk of that. The days of returning a ton of guys are over. This team was so special and that makes this hurt so much more.

Not sure Proctor helped his draft stock tonight. Hope he returns. He was already mid 2nd round. He seemed kind of distant in some of the locker room videos like Roach was last year, but who knows. I love seniors so I'd love him back.
Him and Mal didn't help their stock.

Sometimes people just need to vent. It was a tough loss; and I am not looking forward to next week. Jon needs to recruit some guys back. we need more than 2 or 3 guys back.
