Hopefully they will work with Maluach and establish him as a back to the basket scorer. I know Lively was on campus this summer working with him.

Could this be the the reason we shot so bad from 3?
They switched from Gatorade to Powerade
Maybe that did us in.
This team, the last few years, does not seem to know how to win big close games. It will be true until it is not. Houston seems like an outlier.

Harris is too talented not to play. Harris is too good of a shooter not to play... 3-4 minutes a half is 6-8 a game... Give good minutes, don't get destroyed Defensively and provide good energy and teamwork and you should get this each game. With a chance of increasing PT based on your minutes on the floor... they are perimeter players, guarding the outside and wing players, stay in front of them and box out once the shot goes up. THATS PRACTICE DRILLS, surely they can do it in the game... obviously we don't want them switching to defend the post.
Spot on DBM0828, we are not at practices so we do not see what goes on. I am in agreement with you I find it hard to believe Evans and/or Harris are incapable of giving 6-8 productive minutes each game.
Evans and/or Harris have to get some minutes in at least 2 out of the 3 games against Arizona, Kansas, and/or Auburn, otherwise I see no scenario they return to Duke for their Sophomore campaigns.
If you are a highly touted incoming recruit like Evans and Harris are, you come to Duke to play in big time games.

Chris, I hope Sion is not out. Scheyer would have to play one of them if he is out like you alluded to. I just hope he along with his staff keep Evans and Harris engaged. Depth does a team NO GOOD if it is not used.
Evans and Harris probably didn’t sign up for the Coop and Kon show. Had to have seen it coming with Coop, but Kon’s huge role so far would have prob been surprising a couple months ago to the other players I love Kon’s game, but want to see Evans and Harris more
Probably one of the most frustrating and confusing aspects of our roster every year...high level recruits that seem to disappear to the bench once we hit the tougher games / conference schedule
We were all hoping for change with Jon replacing K. Unfortunately nothing much really has changed from playing time to play calling. Like others have stated, Jon better start playing Harris and Evans otherwise they'll be gone at the end of the year.
Agreed Blue. Evans is Brandon Ingram isch when he gets going and Harris if nothing else is a very good 3 point shooter. Not finding minutes for those guys through January would be a failure on the Coaching Staff’s part.
They should have played few minutes in the first half.
I like Jon, and he's young, but his coaching is nowhere near the level as his recruiting.
I saw a stat the other day in passing, I believe it said Jon had the second (maybe?) most wins ever for a three year ACC head Coach. Yet, I think Krzyzewski has a better record with Jon’s roster. Think about all those early season “name” matchups that K has won over all those years far more often than he lost.
Scheyer is not on the good end of that so far. So when you say we were hoping for change I know it can’t be from a W-L standpoint?
Losing to Kentucky is not a big deal. But it does mean we need to beat Arizona.
Given how bad the Acc is projected to be this yr, the next three games with AZ, Aub, and KU will be huge re: seeding in the NCAA. Hate talking about the NCAA this early, but it’s unavoidable this yr
I concur with your post. For a lot of the game, teams are who they are and do what they do. It’s up to the players to make shots. Those last few min are when a coach earns his pay, and Jon came up short Tues pm
Correct. That's why I said giving our bench more playing time and play calling especially towards the end of Coach K's career.
Yeah and Arizona is better and it’s on the road. Losing to Kentucky is a big deal IMO…
That is a Huge step up from round of 32, elite eight. I'll have what you're drinking.
Finally got a chance to watch the game and WOW did Duke leave a lot of points on the court. That's basketball, but the missed layups, missed wide open 3's, Sion and Mal going down.......
Add in UK making some really tough shots and having a couple improbable baskets go in. If the cats had 9 lives going in, they used a few to get that W.
Because of their experience, that UK team wouldn't have gotten blown out like a Calipari led team probably would have, but they sure got lucky to not lose by 10+ pts.

You still can avoid losing to KU; get better in the next 2 weeks. It was UK who hung the L on the devils Tuesday, not Kansas
Better get Az and Kan, or start using your bench more. Auburn is maybe deeper and more physical than UK
