We have a great guard every 4-5 years. Our last great one left last year so you do the math
Im old enough to remember when Duke would make more FTs than their opponents shot
You don’t need a great guard to avoid the types of turnovers we’ve committed. Most of them are just focus and off of carelessness
Got a coach with two timeouts...only one guy should touch the ball...have to coach.
agreed. But we still should’ve won. Steward and hurt should’ve hit one of those missed fts and it would’ve been game
You seriously just showed up. Can’t make that Shh up.
Get the F outa here- you are 100% fing pathetic
season was over 3 weeks ago????
the staff was the last component to blame in this loss. This was entirely on the team due to careless guard play and missed free throws. Coaching wasn’t going to erase losing their dribble or weak passes
Those missed free throws late hurt bad. Poor job boxing out for that rebound on the missed free throw. Great night for Hurt. Hate it for him. I'm very disappointed tonight. Watching Carolina pretty much solidify their tournament bid and us losing our chance at one has put me in a depression. Of course, I'm a manic depressive, so it doesn't take much.
Recapping a highly disappointing loss and five observations. It is a shame this incredible Matthew Hurt performance resulted in a loss.

Duke’s Tournament Hopes Take a Hit in Loss to Louisville |
Matthew Hurt continued to scorch the nets to start the game. At the under 16 timeout, Duke led 8-6 thanks in large part to Matthew Hurt’s six early points. The game remained neck and neck for the next few minutes. A Mark Williams hook shot tied the game at 17 with 11:07 left to play.… Read More...

He really needs to change his nick name. What an insult to Coach K, OFC
Tough loss. We can still make the tournament but the road just got harder. Need to win the next 2. We got into a bad old habit tonight of falling behind by double digits. UNC now becomes a must win. (ugh)
This team has improved a great deal this season, but I saw regression for all of the first half and in OT we just had ran out of gas I think. Loved the fight to comeback in this one and have a chance to pull it out. Coaching staff did all they could. Our backcourt was atrocious tonight. That was too much to overcome.
Guard play...it’s what’s killed us when we lose and what’s helped when we’ve e won. Tonight it was the former. Dire shooting and poor defending the opposing PGs. You have to have good and consistent play at PG ...we don’t this season
It sucks. Because I love these kids. They put in a great effort in the 2nd half. But not doing that from the opening tip did them in tonight. These two games are going to be tough and possibly rough for us. I support them no matter what. But I cannot act like this one doesn't hurt more than any other this season. When was the last time we lost on Senior Night, '16?
Yes the first half deficit killed us. I can't prove it, but exerting all that effort to come back could have resulted in missed free throws and us being flat in OT.
Duke was playing so well lately that it makes this loss hurt. I’m bummed
I'd all but say it did man. This one is going to be hard to swallow and get over. I hope we can muster up the energy to play a full forty on Tuesday and Saturday. Our season depends on it. Lose both or one of those I think it's probably over without an ACC title run. I think win them both and we might still be in if we can win a game in the ACC tourney. I just want to see these kids get in the tourney.
