***DUKE VS LOUISVILLE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[VaBlueDevil33]

Baker with a nice three

About time he made something

 

[DukeCE2006]

Another turn over by Johnson. It’s hard to watch.

 

[K-oach Q]

Johnson needs to see the bench...that’s his fifth turnover

 

[Lavar5150]

Johnson is selfish and shouldn’t dribble more than twice

 

[K-oach Q]

No excuse for any player to have five turnovers in ten minutes...it got the second foul on Hurt too.

 

[denverexpat]

do we have anyone who can take someone off the dribble? Seems we need a screen every time or just pass it around the perimeter

There is nobody on this team that can create for others or break down a defender.
It’s why teaching a team system is so important...the individual talent doesn’t exist this year.

 

[DukeCE2006]

Goldwire’s bad misses lead to a ton of fast breaks.

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Goldwire useless on offense....playing 4 on 5 everytime

 

[acc hoops]

Easy bank shot and he clanks it off the rim.

 

[acc hoops]

Nice pass by Baker to Johnson

 

[denverexpat]

every time we get any lead we end up giving it back and more in the next few possession....like clockwork. Why pass outside when you are near the rim?? No wonder we don't get FT's

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Johnson playing hero ball and we can't rebound for shit....lazy

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

We’re not down by a bunch at halftime so I’ll take it.

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

We are as soft as tissue paper

 

[K-oach Q]

Really hard to see us winning with these three things...

1) Turnovers - we are probably best in the country at them.

2) Rebounding - We don’t get them.

3) Defense - We don’t play any.

 

[Lavar5150]

Roach needs to be aggressive and look to score in 2nd half. If he can get 8-10 it’s a W

 

[denverexpat]

is Roach a SG, a pure PG or what was he recruited for? He isn't our primary PG, doesn't score a lot so wondering how he was a high ranked recruit. We are missing any penetration from the PG position and any consistent scoring from there also - used to be our strength. We are at least within range to pull this one out

 

[AlanInNJ]

Neither team is executing very well. Let’s come out strong in the second half and take this game. Jalen with a big second half.

 

[denverexpat]

5pts from our 3 PG's so far vs 14 from the UL PG's....need to even that up and we can build a lead. In other news FSU pounded Clepson by 30!

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

We can't shoot worth a damn

 

[BOOGIEMAN1914]

Turnovers...missed shots....other team hitting shots and taking care of the ball....down 3 at half...ill take it

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Man or zone it don't matter this teams defense just sucks

 

[Mpm277]

Hurt is single handedly keeping us in this game. Literally has half our points.

And while that's great for him, it really says something about our team.

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

God our defense

 

[Duke1783]

I wide open airball. Are you effing kidding me

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Can we guard anyone in college basketball?

 

[DukeCE2006]

The dribbling out of bounds untouched is a new low.

 

[denverexpat]

and again...up 3 to down 4 in no time...when was our last lead that was more than one bucket? or more than 1 minute?

Not hard to do when you can't guard anyone

 

[K-oach Q]

He had a wide open left hand layup too

 

[denverexpat]

seems other teams have a grad transfer that eats us alive every game

 

[Mpm277]

Nice redemption for Brakefield.

 

[K-oach Q]

Game is getting away now...and so is the season

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Us playing defense is like watching a cat chase its tail

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Game is getting away now...and so is the season

Some experts here will disagree

 

[Mpm277]

Nice sequence for Steward.

 

[K-oach Q]

Having both Goldwire and Moore on the floor is crazy...we might as well play with three players on offense.

 

[acc hoops]

Worst passing team I have ever seen at Duke. Dribble, Dribble and either throw up a brick or like Moore just now commit turnover. Brakefield hasn’t a clue on defense. Crowed the guard at top of the key and guard flies by right him for a bucket.

And Baker lol
