📍 Cameron indoor

Today we welcome the 1-0 cadets from West Point into Cameron. Guided by second year head coach Kevin Kuwik, army returns their two leading scorers from last years 10-22 team. Duke enters as a 29.5 point favorite.

I think this will be a good second tune up before we get Kentucky next week

Duke-102
Army-54

Anyone think K shows up for this one?

One of the few things that we can look for tonight, other than the last chance for Hubbard, Begovich and Borden to play for a while, is whether Army can slow down the pace or if Duke can speed them up. I'd also like to see Duke play great defense for the entire shot clock, and not give up easy shots or fouls at the end of the shot clock.

It would be nice to see Cooper have a big game also, just to show he can.

Duke Covers and Looks Solid

I'm going to keep saying this until he gets it... Coop triple double game.

 

[hart2chesson]

91-60, Duke

 

[sheyduke]

Not hitting threes so far . Proctor is O-2, Flag is 0-1, Kon 0-1, Foster 0-1 and Mal 0-1

 

[pisgah101]

Wonder how many more 3’s proctor will clang

 

[kingbluedevil]

Wonder how many more 3’s proctor will clang

He has been open probably a reason

 

[denverexpat]

should be pounding it inside with our height but settling for rim breaking 3's at the moment

 

[dukecorey]

Too many 3’s

 

[kingbluedevil]

Proctor is playing good defense

 

[sheyduke]

Can’t get into the lane . They are playing a pack line defense and a triangle and two thrown in there. I think they are letting us shoot the three until we can hit consecutive shots.
Brown and Mal have failed on a dunk . Mals went off the rim and Browns was blocked by a guard .
Proctor isn’t the only one clanking shots .

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Finally started to hit our three's. We'll see if we can continue in the second half.

20 point win if we don't. 30 point win if we do

 

[sheyduke]

That last Dunk by Mal was great . Really liking the defense.
Cooper is a warrior doing everything and that dunk attempt by Sion would have been nasty

 

[JimboSlice00]

Solid first half all in all. Cooper is just so darn well rounded and his passion is unmatched

 

[The_Only_Blue]

We need to get this Cooper cramping thing figured out

 

[dukecorey]

Duke has been very sloppy this game, that won’t work against Kentucky next week. Obviously Duke will win big tonight against Army but definitely stuff they need to work on and clean up.

 

[denverexpat]

would like to see us run the offensive sets etc that we will use against better teams. We can win these games on talent disparity alone so getting more out of them by practicing our sets in game situations would be better in the long run

 

[JimboSlice00]

We need to get this Cooper cramping thing figured out

Yup

 

[denverexpat]

in other good news Kansas is giving the Cheats a beat down at half time

 

[The_Only_Blue]

^^^You spoke too soon

 

[dukecorey]

I was just going to say the same thing, Kansas is choking right now

 

[jeffrey236]

It seems clear we have the pieces (including depth) to be a serious Natty contender this year. We also appear to have the defense and team oriented attitude. Barring injury, this may be the litmus test of Jon’s coaching ability.

 

[denverexpat]

^^^You spoke too soon

Yep...my bad...dang it...

 

[bleediteveryday30]

The defense during that 18-0 stretch in the first half was pretty dang good. Overall, a solid win. I love how unselfish this group is.

 

[Mac9192]

We about to find out what this team is made of. Should be fun.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Wow that was a good game but terrible couple of possessions by UNC. How's can you not have RJ touch the ball in the last two possessions.

 

[christophero]

Sounds like we are 3 happy again.

 

[kingbluedevil]

Soinds like we are 3 happy again.

We should because we good at it.

 

[christophero]

Kansas beat UNC by 3. Ease on down the road Dorothy.

 

[pisgah101]

We won by 42, hard to complain

Go duke

 

[christophero]

Cooper needs to drink more Gatorade so he doesn't cramp against Kentucky. As soon as the replay is up I will bring my insightful, long winded analysis.

Ok Gary




Just kidding

 

[christophero]

Watching highlights now.
1. Crazy move in the lane by Foster. I like him. He gets penetration better than any of our guards.
2. Kon with the nice 3. Also the finish in the lane.
3. Cooper with a great pass to Sion on the break. Cooper with some toughness down low.
4. Proctor hitting some nice 3's. Well done.
5. Gillis and Sion and Brown continue to be solid.
6. Geez the spin and finish by Sion. He looks out of control but he finishes
7. Evans and Harris can score; they just need minutes.
8. Good solid win, can't wait for the comp. to increase.

 

[dukesince91]

I’ve been real pleased with Foster’s development. He looks a lot more confident and in control. Every time Kon shoots I feel like it’s going in. Cooper and Mal were crushing the boards last night. Our transfers are good steady players. This team is loaded and you really don’t notice a drop at all when we sub. I think Jon is right about Harris and Evan’s minutes at this time. I just hope those two stay locked in and don’t leave after this season.
