He's been effectively running that defense.
I'll take a lead at the half.
I hope we dump it down low more in the second half.
Keep fighting fellas!

Poor shooting, Carter in foul trouble, Bagley fairly quiet, and we are taking a 3 point lead to the half. I’ll take that!
Duval has been amazing so far! Obviously a completely different half without him.
Have been pretty hard on him much of this season, but Duval is really carrying us at the moment.
Hopefully this is a case where things are really starting to click and the game is slowing down for him.
When he plays under control and picks his spots, he is as good as advertised. It's when he tries to do too much that the quick sand comes into play.

Big half for Trevon, give him some help in the 2nd half & we cruise!!!!

Knock down some 3's and we are way up. OFC
I would have taken being up by 3 if offered before the game started
They are doing a lot right. Need to shoot it better. 3-15 from three at the half. Start hitting more consistently, then watch out!
That was my point exactly...they are drinking a lot of Kansas Koolaid!
Yes I’ve noticed! They talking like Kansas is about to pull off the upset of the year
He's got us in the game. Now if he just plays steady in the 2nd. half and not get out of control. OFC
I have been hard on him as well but he is ballin right now. This is exactly what we need from him.
Duval playing well, now the rest of them need to step up their game.
Gonna be a grind. Self will make some good adjustments, hope we make better ones.

No kidding . You’d think kansas was up big the way they are talking
KU gets cushy treatment when it comes to where they play. The fans are not that big of a deal today but it gets on my nerves when everyone says Duke gets preferential treatment.
Idk, we were up one going into a media timeout, and Grant says "Kansas in control early"
I’m very pleased with how we are doing with Carter having 3 fouls. I’d we can keep the lead until the 10:00 and bring Carter back in, we will win.
Good first half by two good teams. I thought it was a confidence boost for Duval not getting yanked after a couple of miscues. A confident Duval is great for Duke. We will hit more shots and I don't care if they think KU is "decimating" our zone..they're not. They have very few fast break points and either have to make 23' jumpers or a tough midrange ....our zone is just fine. Shots fall and we pull away.
I really wish we would start Bolden to buy some more time but probably won't happen.
Defense is good. Need to sink some 3s and get bagley some touches closer to the rim. Hopefully bagley comes out strong in the second half. We’re gonna need him to win.
We looked tight for most of the half. Thankfully Duval played his ass off and we have the luxury of being up 3 as compared to digging out of a hole. We need to come out of half and play like it is the last 4 minutes of the game, that sense of urgency we have all been begging for.
Most of the season we seem to rebound better in the second half. If we win the rebounding battle in the second half I think we win. Hopefully Bags gets going as well.
