***DUKE VS MICHIGAN STATE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[dukehokie]

Bridges is a big boy. If he can tighten his handle he becomes an NBA all star.

Good start on D and matching them on the boards. I like the intensity.

 

[Mpm277]

It's funny

i already have it on mute! Sucks I have to watch it this way Do these jerseys look a little different or is it just me?

I feel like the shorts look shorter?

 

[KellenPatrick]

Thank you Frank Jackson, wish your fellow freshmen felt the same.

 

[dukehokie]

I've put the Freshmen out of my mind. It'll just be a bonus when they return.

Exactly. We have three freshmen out there battling and fighting and scrapping.
Jackson, De Laurier and White! Go get em boys.

I want more white and De!

 

[dukehokie]

Other than that run out, we're just much more comfortable with Amile in the game.

 

[dukehokie]

I want more white and De!

Especially in a physical game like this.

 

[skysdad]

Got to play better D. OFC

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

They are shorter, and less baggy. I'm glad to see it.

OFC

 

[Jnood]

To many easy buckets.

 

[Showenuff]

Got to tighten up or they will kill us in the paint.

 

[Get Nasty]

Amile blowing an easy layup was 4 point swing

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

Feels like MSU is the better and more determined team, heck we can't hit a lay up, and seems like the announcers all all about MSU

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

Amile goes up soft instead of hammering it, misses, and they get a run out dunk. 4 point swing and big mo swing. Smh.

Gonna need our Rock to have a big night!!!

 

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

Amile blowing an easy layup was 4 point swing

I wouldn't say he blew it, IMO it looked like he did everything right but it just didn't go in

 

[Get Nasty]

Why is k allowing Grayson to drive out of control and throw up desperate shots early in the clock?

 

[NYBlueDevil]

Can we play some defense and hit some damn shots please?!?!

 

[skysdad]

Feels like MSU is the better and more determined team, heck we can't hit a lay up, and seems like the announcers all all about MSU

Announcers have nothing to do with Duke trailing. OFC

 

[NYBlueDevil]

We are playing careless and stupid right now

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

3 consecutive major mistakes out of our captains. Gotta shore up

 

[Get Nasty]

Matt amile and Grayson playing crappy

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

Never said they did, just seems they are really talking about MSU a lot

 

[dukehokie]

Hate that it's against us, but I love Bridges's game.

 

[d24martin]

May have been mentioned, but Allen's toe seems worse than I thought. Watch how often he kicks the heel of his hurt foot to relieve the pressure of that toe. Like when he's off the ball. He's still playing hard. But he is hobbling.

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

I guess it is better than Corey Alexander repeating himself about Giles for two hours

 

[Dukesince90]

We might want to go zone with Jeter in the game.

 

[dukehokie]

Matt amile and Grayson playing crappy

Maybe on O, but Amile's D and Matt's as well has been just fine.

 

[dukehokie]

Amile blowing an easy layup was 4 point swing

I'd love to see the player who makes every single layup. Like every single one, practice and game.

Doesn't change the fact that the team is much more comfortable with Amile in the game.

I noticed earlier that when he took a 3 pointer, when he came down he only came down on one foot

 

[dukiejay]

We've just been a bit sloppy yet we're tied at 19. I'll take it. We're better than they are.

 

[Get Nasty]

I wouldn't say he blew it, IMO it looked like he did everything right but it just didn't go in

If anyone on this board missed that layup they would have blown it

 

[skysdad]

Did you guys just hear Bilas telling about how poor a free throw shooting team is. What's that all about. He shouldn't be doing that. Now he's saying that Kennard has a better all around game this year. He's supposed to be critical of Duke. OFC

 

[Dukesince90]

I think Amile thought about dunking and changed his mind which resulted in that miss layup. I don't get the statement that Amile is playing crappy.

 

[LetsGoDuke301]

If we make 30% of our layups, we win.

 

[NYBlueDevil]

If we're better than MSU, we sure aren't showing it right now...

How did you see that. What size screen do you have. OFC

When you're 6'9 and have s wide open layup it shouldn't be a layup

 

[dukehokie]

We are.

 

[kingbluedevil]

Jefferson gonna have a big game!!!

 

[dukehokie]

I know you want a perfect game from these 18-22 year old kids, but you'll be a lot happier as a fan when you realize it ain't happening. I'm sure Amile will take note of that and jam it next time.

Still it doesn't change what he does for this team.
