I feel like just going outside and screaming at the top of my lungs "who want some, who want some of Duke" in my Deebo voice!
***DUKE VS LOUISVILLE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***
- Thread starter krzyzewskiville
- Start date
The amount of heart it took to come back from that far down on the road. Speaks volumes about the will to win of this team. What a statement that was made tonight.
Yeah, I mean the margin we came back from was significant enough, but there's also the the way we played prior to that. It looked like they all had pneumonia for 30 minutes and to top it off absolutely NOTHING went their way. What a testament to self-belief and perseverance. Surreal.
OMG, my heart is still racing. Hurry up and show Jay and Seth so I can hear and see their pain.
If I was a player watching that performance, you have to ask yourself, the coaching staff, family members, and anybody else who will listen, how in the hell are you suppose to beat these guys.
Nunchucks. It’s the only way.
Coach K:
Goes to zone.
Plays full court press.
Plays Zion with 4 fouls with lots of time left.
Puts in Goldwire.
Keeps Goldwire in.
He coaches with no fear. What kid does not want to play for this guy.

I heard your Debo voice at CTC on Zion's first dunk....Sound more like Kat Williams!!!.....J/K J/K!!!!!!!
Exactly, and it's kind of spooky how K can look at these guys and tell them they are still going to win. He did the same with the 2015 team when they were down to the Cheats at Cameron big with a couple of min's left. I need him to pick my dang lottery numbers for me.
I spent the bulk of the second half mad at myself because I knew I would never turn it off no matter how bad it got. Then that happened.
LMFAO, I had a slight cold. You wrong for that buddy lol. My soldiers use to say I sounded like Chris Rock when I got excited about something.
Fell asleep and woke up in second half, saw the score and fell back asleep..assumed we lost when I woke up...then came the highlights...that comeback was unbelievable!
My opinion:
Lots of players logged heavy minutes at UVA. Then Jimmy Dykes said our flight was delayed 3-4 hours and it showed in the first half. Props to Louisville who took advantage of our lack of urgency in the first half. But major props to our guys who fought through that adversity when it would’ve been easier to give up! THIS GROUP IS SPECIAL!

One last thing before I try and go to sleep.
To the Cardinals fan that held up the "ZION CAN'T DUNK" sign at every break -- how does it feel to have your idiocy recorded for history?

what's truly hilarious about all of this, UK fans are more upset about this than UL fans.
I couldn’t believe that someone actually made that sign and the funniest thing was early in the game, every time they showed him holding up that sign, he was holding it upside down lol
Haven’t seen a link to k’s full interview yet but his answer about believing that the guys could win is pretty amazing.
The best part of that clip is it starts over and plays on repeat so I can watch it over and over and over....

Two things
1) it’s crazy how we played like hot garbage over the last 5 or so minutes of the first half then we played like world beaters over the last 5 or so minutes in the second half
2) I’ve mentioned several times since I’ve been posting here that I’ve got a friend that I’ve been friends with since we were kids that’s a UNC fan and we’ll tag each other on Facebook whenever Duke or UNC loses. Sometimes he’ll get ahead of himself when we’re losing and he’ll go ahead and tag me on Facebook. He tagged me on Facebook around halftime. I can’t remember if it was late in the first half or at halftime or early in the second half but when he tags me on Facebook before the game is over because we’re losing, a large percentage of three time we end up making a comeback and winning the game. I’m not sure what percentage of the time that we’ve made a comeback and won when he’s tagged me on Facebook before the game was over but it feels like it’s somewhere in the +90% range.
