***DUKE VS INDIANA OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[WI#1Dukie22]

Things that should never happen, happen @ Assembly Hall. We do not want these chumps hanging around

 

[Dad2ze]

Totally forgot the game was on. Guess that’s what happens when you have two kids and are driving them all over the place for church and basketball.

 

[K-oach Q]

We held someone under 40 and winning at the half...so I consider that half a win...

No excuses hahah.

 

[DukeDenver]

If we would just play zone, always, we are up double digits now.

I think teams would figure out that you get easy corner 3 balls against our zone.

 

[SoCal_Dukie3]

Yeah we played a matchup zone a few possessions and it was shredded.

I thought you were referring to a true 3-2 or 2-3; I saw what looked like a matchup zone but it was sloppy and simple switching 1-4. It was ugly.

 

[tclark6]

Would like to see more of AOC in the second half..

 

[Showenuff]

Ok, their crowd is loud, but a bit uneducated on the game situations. Almost whiny. LOL .

 

[gottagonow]

I love it when Bagley shoots a three and makes it and hate it when he shoots a three and should be near the basket which is about all the time.

 

[Mpm277]

Up on the road at the half. I'll take it.

 

[dukehokie]

No one is in foul trouble, we held them to under 50% shooting in the last 8-10 minutes, and we have the upper hand at the half. I’m happy.

That’s what i was referring to. It’s all good.

Regardless of what the zone is, it’s hard to rebound out of it. Our second shot D was awful early. We picked it up second part of the first half. This team plays NBA quarters in a college game. They play in spurts. I think we’ll see that until the bulk of ACC play.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Indiana is pumped, and the crowd is tremendous. Yeah, our D wasn't great, but our guys didn't get rattled. I feel pretty good about it right now.

OFC

 

[DukefanKY]

We are on the road in a tough place to play.
We are shooting 55% to their 46%
we have more rebounds and more assists than they do.

There's definitely room for improvement, but I'll take where we are right now, and expect us to pull away hard late.

 

[dukecorey]

Hope Duke jumps on them beginning of the second half. Make some stops and pound it down low.

 

[DukeSky85]

For playing 9 games in 20 days with hardly any practice in between I’m sure..I’d say we’re doing pretty well

 

[Duke1783]

If we have a 2nd half like we’ve had the last 3 games we are gonna spoil Indiana’s National Chapionship Game in a big way

 

[dukehokie]

We found a team who shoots free throws worse than us.

Duke - 65%
Indiana - 45%

 

[Laettner]

First road game for frosh after long trip out West, IU fans out for blood b/c they are irrelevant & we're up at the half - fine with me.

 

[Mpm277]

Duke - 65%
Indiana - 45%

Well we did. Why would you say this before the game has ended? We have a whole other half to play. You're so selfish!

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

We are handling the crowd, not playing nervous. If we can have a good start in the 2nd half we came win comfortably. We don't need to let them hang around, or this will be a nail bitter.
OFC

 

[dbav]

I feel like we are running some very good offense.

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

Anybody see the severity of the Duval injury???

 

[dukehokie]

Well we did. Why would you say this before the game has ended? We have a whole other half to play. You're so selfish!

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

Duval may not be back tonight! F

 

[Mpm277]

Somehow I missed anything happening to Duval..

 

[dbav]

Duval may not be back tonight! F

Then I'm confident we'll find a way to compensate for the loss and win.

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

I missed it as well. Just saw on twitter chatter

 

[DukeSky85]

Better view of that Grayson dunk..that was nasty

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

Must not have been much

 

[hallside]

Playing well offensively, I think we come out in zone, whether it’s that 1-3-1 or the 2-3. Just need to get stops and feed the post. Let’s hope we have good energy for the next 20.

 

[DukeSky85]

Nice energy to start the second half!

 

[dukesince91]

Duval looks fine to me.

 

[DukeSky85]

Alright time to put this away!

 

[dukecorey]

Keep it up boys

 

[dukesince91]

Grayson is bringing it tonight!

 

[dbav]

Man, Trent has been struggling. I thought the big shots in Portland would help him. Keep fighting young man.

 

[dukecorey]

Keep scoring boys, let’s have some good possession here

 

[dbav]

Carter is a rebounding machine.

 

[K-oach Q]

Bagley needs to be stronger with the ball
