***DUKE VS ARKANSAS ELITE 8 OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[Duke1783]

Got me looking at the bench now lol. What I did like was the Texas tech cheerleaders wearing Dallas cowboys cheerleader shorts tho 👀👀

Good times

 

[AlanInNJ]

If we have one guy who is super hot from deep we win by 20.

 

[Duke_Fan_1338]

Those 2 have been excellent at avoiding foul trouble, and we have Theo. But I agree.

definitely…it’s one of the reasons we’ve been successful imo

 

[christophero]

Lets Gooooooo!
Slaps floor like Wojo.
I'm ******* ready.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Play smart and don't settle for outside shots. Let's effing goooooo!!!

 

[sheyduke]

Let’s go boys

 

[Duke1783]

Barkley picked Duke winning it all 2 hours ago. He just picked Arkansas to beat us

 

[sheyduke]

Barkley picked Duke winning it all 2 hours ago. He just picked Arkansas to beat us

That’s because he’s worried about their advantage to get into the lane which we all are .

 

[Duke1783]

That’s because he’s worried about their advantage to get into the lane which we all are .

Was he not worried about that at 5pm?

 

[christophero]

Barkley's drunk again. I'm sure he picked Auburn too.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Think we eventually will go zone

 

[K-oach Q]

Is it to early for zone? I’m already tired of the layup line they are running on us…

 

[AlanInNJ]

So much for a fast start. Stop the turnovers. Settle in. Duke by 14.

 

[Duke1783]

AJ just standing there with his thumb up his ass

 

[christophero]

Okay settle down. We always start like ****.

 

[K-oach Q]

Does anyone give up as many layups as Duke?

 

[ioliva]

Starting off slow again with a bunch of give mes but I’ll take 6-9 over a 2-10 start

 

[christophero]

12-9 Duke I'll take it. Okay 12-11. 14-11 is better. Darn it tie game.

 

[ioliva]

I can’t believe roach hasn’t gotten to the line off those two blocks

 

[springsportster]

Mark Williams baby

 

[christophero]

These are big physical guards, so Roach better put on his big boy pants.

 

[K-oach Q]

Of course their three point shooting sucks but it’s raining on us….it never matters what someone is ranked. Play Duke you are ranked #1

 

[christophero]

okay 20-14 that's more like it! 22-16 I like it

 

[The_Only_Blue]

No damn way that dude is this good drawing charges

 

[denverexpat]

poor basketball choices going on right now with these drives...easy buckets if we pass the ball

 

[K-oach Q]

Charges are stupid. I said it pregame.

Two foot jump stop and easy shots….scout and coach man….

 

[Duke1783]

Those were blocks

 

[K-oach Q]

Yes he is! It’s what he does!

I said it pregame it worries me….

 

[sheyduke]

Call K. I warned everyone about Williams and his charging ability. You have to jump stop. There’s a reason for the charge it gets you skeptic to attack the rim.

 

[K-oach Q]

Those were blocks

They don’t call him for blocks…he sells them….Scout the games he’s done it the entire damn year….He’s the best since Battier at it.

 

[sheyduke]

Was he not worried about that at 5pm?

No he was looking out for Kenny Smith lol.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

The second one appeared that his foot was inside the arc

 

[sheyduke]

They don’t call him for blocks…he sells them….Scout the games he’s done it the entire damn year….He’s the best since Battier at it.

Thank you he leads division one in charges taken . He can sell them

 

[K-oach Q]

Call K. I warned everyone about Williams and his charging ability. You have to jump stop. There’s a reason for the charge it gets you skeptic to attack the rim.

And gets you in stupid easy foul trouble. Those where both super easy jump stops and should have been practiced over and over and over again since yesterday.

You have to know who you are playing….and what they do….

 

[AlanInNJ]

Feeling like we should be up by 10.

Still happy we came to play. Banchero is going to have a quiet half and dominate in the second.

We should be up ten…that’s what’s frustrating.

Let them hang around and you know what happens.

 

[christophero]

We got this.

 

[K-oach Q]

Two stupid fouls on Griffin…

 

[ioliva]

Jesus Christ how did Jeremy get so good so fast

 

[christophero]

33-26 the good guys. Let's go! Duke by 6 now.
