***DUKE VS ARMY OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

So much for blowing everyone out....Army showing that discipline on both ends can keep the games close. Hopefully the hype of Tuesday hasnt gone to our heads
Wake up call coming at halftime. They’ll come out with a freshly chewed ass on fire.
Hope k let's them hear it after 2 selfish plays that led to 5 points. That'll be a bad habit he needs to jump on early if it keeps happening.
Hope this is a early game let down after Kentucky cause the defense is no better than recent years.
Things to like: Zion and Jack
Things to dislike: so many jumpers, too much showtime and not enough running plays, being on pace to give up 80+ points to Army
I chalk it up to first home game jitters. Let's settle down and get the ball in Tre's hands.

Purely speculation..but when Zion dunked from the FT line in the Earn Everything documentary...RJ was a bit miffed when talking to his Dad...he likes the limelight...after Tuesday Zion got a lot of press for the block and pass...RJ looks like he is trying to do it all himself today..maybe hurting our game a bit.
Wow. This is getting ugly. I don’t care about sport center highlights. I wanna see shut down d and unselfish ball movement for easy scores. Now we are catching and firing bricks and letting them shred us.
We are to much in love with the 3 point shot. RJ is really forcing it. He needs to settle down and let the game come to him!

No patience on offense, with wild 3 after wild 3 leading to transition offense for Army.

Agree 100 percent with this statement. Barrett looks like Tatum did in his first 15 games at duke. Just share the ball and your points will come
This is the RJ I thought I’d see in the UK game. Always like his talent but he usually a ultra score first second and third guy. Said it three years ago and will continue to say I’d take Zion 1st over all. I think he’s that Lebron, Shaq, Duncan type special who can have a impact without having plays run for him. Passing, scoring, rebounding and motor.
Can’t wait until he loses about 15 point pounds during the predeaft process (that’s when players get in the best shape of their lives) and becomes even faster, stronger, more athletic.....yep scary thought

This will be a good thing for Duke. Getting a little bit of humble pie after going through the ESPN hype machine saying they have a chance to run the table and be the greatest team in NCAA history. Nothing is given, everything earned. Super talented young team, but it's better to have these type of games early in the season than another blow out.
That’s a rough first half in terms of defense. I saw way too much walking getting back on defense.
Ugly half, but I’m not surprised. Little bit of fools gold vs Kentucky. Army shot the lights out. Things will level off quick. Disappointed in Barrett’s effort all around, I expect he will come out ready to kill
We'll still win by 25, but clearly have things to work on.
This is exactly what the doctor ordered. We as fans couldn’t contain our excitement imagine a group of 18 year olds. Time to get back to work after this game. As “good” as Army looks, they are a mid pack Patriot team, nothing is given.
Thank God for Zion. Too much one on one, too much 3 point shooting, too many turnovers, and too damn little defense.

I just want to see him play within himself. Everything from him looks forced. If an NBA gm does not take Zion first in the draft they should be drug tested on the spot
