In season OT thread. Street performers.

I am up late at least 3 nights a week and fall into many youtube rabbit holes. I have become a huge fan of Allie Sherlock. She started when she was 11. She lost her mother when she was 9. So this is pretty special.

She has so many good ones. This is one of my favorites.

I can listen to her all day. We are going to Ireland in the spring of 2026. Hopefully she is still busking.

What do you have to share?

Official game day thread- Duke vs NC St

The last two games have felt more late K like. Less assists per basket. Shorter bench minutes. More nba style of getting it to your top 2-3 guys in spots that they like the ball. The offense has not flowed and not looked like 90s K teams.
It's not going to flow when Proctor can't hit an open shot, your center can't score. I don't see Proctor being a pro when he has games he looks scared to death. Cooper knew he had to take over outside of James everyone else was in choke mode

One thing I have liked about foster even though he has been bad of late. He is attacking off the dribble well and is usually good for an assist or two in his minimal minutes. He beats his man pretty easily. And pushes the ball up the floor quickly.
His defense and shooting is worrisome. This team hasn’t looked good offensively (where everyone is contributing) since SMU. I thought foster made a jump that game but seems to not be playing as free since then.
He gets by his man and throws up a prayer two feet from the basket. Scheyer has given him a chance. I don't think Evans played much tonight because his handles are not that good. Keats defense causes problems on weak ball handlers

Yall are all overreacting. We won against a team that ALWAYS literally ALWAYS plays out of their mind against us to just crumble after. Good win take it and move on. We got some tough game pressure and overcame it
Hey man. I said take the W and move on. Don't lump me in with these chicken littles.

Caleb's role off bench

You have to wonder if it was so easy to transfer back then if either one of them would have been a senior at Duke. It's a different world. Right now we need 10 minutes a game from Foster. Proctor and Sion need to stay healthy. Anything can happen but he is regressing at the moment. The injury is really affecting his game. I'd rather see Evans or Harris get more minutes if this continues. Those kids are working hard and deserving of pt as well.
If Harris is getting minutes other than garbage time then we're in trouble. He's a defensive liability. We need Foster to figure it out.

Crazy night.

I know it's a physical defensive game, so I wouldn't expect a lot of minutes but otherwise Evans is just not getting on the court ... Could have used a couple of 3s by him.

Once again Jon is reverting to the "Coach K fear of playing his bench in a tight game." Which tends to backfire in March.

Not pretty at all. We are lucky to have Cooper, that’s obvious. Kon is just a solid player, but is a freshman. I know there’s a lot of talk about Foster’s lack of contribution, but there’s too many games in my opinion where Proctor doesn’t give us much offensively, and tonight was another. He had 4 points, 2 at the free throw line. He’s a junior. And I think he is way too passive.

Jon pulled another good move out again, going zone, which was enough to get State out of rhythm.

Proctor has been bad lately offensively. Even at the FT line. Not gonna cut it in March.

I don’t know that he is beating very many people off the dribble. Idk….
what a mess.....Kon needs to rethink jacking it up all the time....Proctor has to contribute more...and no one seems to be running or leading this team....it shouldnt be Flagg carrying us every game...the last 2 games havent boosted my confidence in Scheyer's ability - we are the better pick up team at this point, thanks to athletism and talent.

Wondering if this squad is more along the lines of the 1987/88 or 1988/89 Duke teams. Legit 2 seed, top 10 teams that did end up in the Final Four. Flagg is a more talented Danny Ferry, who also played with generally unimpressive guards himself, but they were a good defensive team and had a good (not great) cast. This team won’t have 7 or 8 losses like those teams (28-7, 28-8) but that’s thanks to the ACC this year while Ferry’s teams had to contend with great ACC Coaches.

Also, essentially halfway through- is Cooper the best freshman in Duke history? Thought I’d never even ask that after Zion.
I think Flagg is more mature. Not an insult to Zion. I didn't feel this way early, which I put more on Scheyer than him, but he is great at assessing situations. He knows when to be selfish and when not to be. Not a fan of his turnovers, but that can be worked out.
