    ***DUKE VS WAKE FOREST OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

    So, I'm not watching live because I'm at the hospital with aguy from the local VA who I met as a volunteer. He's got some issues, and it isn't good. I stopped by the thread to see how its going. Thanks for all the good thoughts. You guys are trash. You deserve everything that is happening.

    ***DUKE VS WAKE FOREST OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

    How much would any of you give for Tre not to have dove for that ball, and for us to have dog walked Syracuse, and for us to still be tied for number 1 in the ACC with us owning the tie breaker? . That was a bad, bad loss to a not good Syracuse team. They'd be on the wrong side of the bubble...

    Memphis has bodies at PG, and they'd be "fine" there next year. But they have got some PGs that are young (next year), and figure to develop into really nice players down the road. So, competent+ next year, and possibly good in the future. Only, future doesn't matter much when they've got a...

    Has Zion Practiced

    If that is the case, what is the thought about Zion returning for the @UNC game? I really don't see that.

    There's some thought that he might like to reclassify and join Memphis next year. . That said, Duke might ultimately be the best business decision, wrt to his path to the NBA.

    They made a good point pre-game. Duke is a bad matchup for UVA in Duke's favor. Tre's on ball defense disrupts the UVA game plan which is to put the ball into the hand of a singular ball handler and let that guy run the entire O. Tre disrupts that. Further, UVA wants to encourage "hero"...

    Yup. But UNC has made jumpers consistently all year long. Their offense is very good. Their D isn't, but too many teams can't exploit their D enough to beat them. You can't lose contact with UNC. If they get up 7-8 with under 5, they are tough to beat. . Their season will end much like...

    Got-dam, UNC has shooters. I can tell them, from brutal personal experience, that their team's season will end short of the elite 8 at the hands of some midmajor that can shoot and score all over the court on a night when the jumpers won't fall for UNC, but UNC can absolutely make shots.

    ***DUKE VS MIAMI OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

    Or people have lives and aren't watching a mid Saturday afternoon game vs a not-very-good-JUNIOR-VARSITY squad near a computer. Since I'm not a complete moron, I set a DVR and start watching the game 1 hour in. I'm able to FF through the entire game in about 55 mins. . I legit thought...

    ***DUKE VS MIAMI OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

    I never post in game. I come in when the game is over. Check the time stamp. . ITA Miami is a horrible team with 8 scholarship players. 3-4 of this Miami roster are of the Vrank, Robinson, Goldwire variety. ie solid role players who can handle very limited minutes in competitive situations...

    ***DUKE VS MIAMI OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

    Tre can take the opposing team's ball handler out of the game. The smartest strategy to combat Tre's defense is to take Tre's assignment off the ball and have that guy stay out of the way. Tre can't just abandon the guy, assuming he's not a horrible shooter, so that effectively takes Tre out...

    How would we know if he flexed or not? For all we know, he did.

    They may know that Miami is not good.

    Tre has to hit shots...

    Featured? He's the fourth option whenever he's on the court. Third at best. He's not closely guarded any more. If teams aren't going to bother guarding him, he needs to hit 30% of his wide open threes.

    But what about Bolden? He and Carey simply cannot coexist on the court together. Offensively, surrounded by shooter? Maybe. But defensively that would be a full on disaster.

    Bracketology IS important!!!

    Fine. You aren't saying we are unbeatable. But you all are significantly overestimating how hard it would be to beat a healthy Duke team. There are 5+ teams that can play well enough to beat Duke if we are healthy and play fairly well. Folks are acting like it would take a miracle to beat...

    Share this tweet with your friends re: Zion

    I disagree that we are top 5 WITHOUT Zion. Top 10, sure, but we are closer to 10 than to 5.

    New recruit--Trendon Watford

    The nation at large will be down next year. Almost every top team will lose significant talent. UVA loses a few guys that will make their O a little less dynamic, and that will make their D WAY LESS dynamic. UNC graduates/loses to graduation essentially their entire forward rotation, and...

    New recruit--Trendon Watford

    Recruiting updates this year have indicated that Boogie has done better WRT to team running this year as he's been asked to do more of it. . As for RJH, I'm beginning to think he wants his senior year of HS. Further, I'm not sure if he's that interested in sharing a draft class with Cole...

    Bracketology IS important!!!

    Agreed. But people are acting as though we are unbeatable if healthy. Gonzaga proved differently. A 100% Duke team had to shoot nearly twice its season average from 3 to beat UVA (on the road, I'll admit). . I'd rather have the best possible Seed in the NCAAT, in the east regional. If we...
