***DUKE VS FLORIDA STATE - ACC TOURNEY FINAL OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Make your FTs Cam!

 

[Louisville Crazie]

Cam seems to be more in control tonight.

 

[K-oach Q]

Tre has mid range jumper and throws it to Goldwire in the corner is stupid..

 

[dbav]

It seems like Jack always has a black eye. Is that an Australian thing?

 

[youngman42]

When I watch Barrett and Reddish shoot jumpers, their style and athleticism remind me a lot of Kobe Bryant (I've been a Lakers fan since watching them lose to the Knicks in the 1970 NBA finals and loved Kobe).

The difference is, Kobe took a thousand shots a day and so he was effective, whereas they are missing them. What they really need is to take hundreds more shots and have that kind of work ethic. Just going to take time and commitment. But as freshmen in college they are not going to be close to that yet.

 

[duhondukie]

Jack gives us no threat anymore on the offensive end. You can tell he has zero confidence

 

[K-oach Q]

Nobody even guards Jack White they play off him like Tre now and he won’t even look at taking the shot..it’s why Alex should play at least he is a threat..

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Nice by RJ there

 

[denverexpat]

why would you pass that to Reddish when the guy is right on him? just not in the game mentally

 

[Duke1783]

We need a good old fashion arse chewing.

 

[youngman42]

When White is wide open, he has to take the shot. Relax and take your time. He actually began shooting better at the end of the year (went 5-10).

 

[LetsGoDuke83]

Sloppy man

 

[K-oach Q]

Don’t even know what Alex was doing there defensively..I take it back

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

We just turn it over too much plain and simple....lazy passes

 

[Jnood]

This isn’t going very well, so far.

 

[Louisville Crazie]

Jack gets open looks but refuses to take the shot. It’s concerning.

 

[dbav]

Let's get it going fellas. We got this.

 

[Duke1783]

We just turn it over too much plain and simple....lazy passes

What worked for ya in high school doesn’t work in college

 

[Hurley22]

They are hitting their open looks....we aren't. Pretty simple. Add turnovers in the mix and we better get it together. Let's go Duke.

 

[dukegrad02]

They are simply shooting better than we are

 

[Showenuff]

Can’t let this team get to far out front, they are too athletic.

 

[K-oach Q]

We just do a lot of dumb things..inbound passes, continual threes, guys who should shoot won’t, turnovers all over and defensive lapses like Alex just had on the best three point shooter for Fla State...we are our own worst enemy

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

They are simply shooting better than we are

Most teams do from 3 pt land

 

[duke198025]

This game is gravy to me. But rj just hasn’t seen himself this whole toury

 

[chov1125]

Turnovers and missed 3’s. Both need to be corrected.

 

[dukiejay]

The bad shooting is what it is....if we continue to combine it with high volume turnovers it’s just not going to end well.

 

[acc hoops]

Double teaming have given up 2 threes. Get Alex some shots. He will hit them.

 

[duhondukie]

We look completely gassed. No energy, no spark. Kind of expected it after last night

 

[tripleb71]

We can't afford to get down further. We need to make a run before end of half.

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

Come on boys, let's go on a good 10-0 run! We need to turn this around guick!!!!
OFC

 

[K-oach Q]

We are in danger time now..thisbteam plays to well defensively for us to get down double digits and expect to come back..

 

[Louisville Crazie]

Gotta get zion some touches in the paint

 

[youngman42]

We can't get way behind.

Turnovers are killing us!

 

[gottagonow]

Fundamental basketball skills like passing, dribbling and shooting are just something we dont do very well. Lackadaisical defines us.

 

[youngman42]

Another turnover. Ugh.

And, try to have an offense beside one on one.

 

[K-oach Q]

Another inbound turnover..high school stuff man...

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Why take that Cam?

 

[denverexpat]

if we dont shoot another 3 the rest of the year i would be happy

 

[Duke1783]

2 missed 3’s. Way to kill the momentum

 

[K-oach Q]

God we love the three do you think they know we are bad at it?
