I’ll be in Blacksburg Friday and then Indy/Atlanta for sure if Duke is playing there for the tournament.
Hopefully will see you in Atlanta.

Hopefully will see you in Atlanta.
Ok win, but we would really be better prepared if we played elon and wofford on the road
Gotta give a big shout to Javin.5 of 5 for 10 points,6 rebounds and only ONE foul in 19 minutes! Well done young man!
He certainly shut the social media haters up last night didn’t he.
I think all of the returnees from last year were determined not to lose to Michigan State twice.
Last night was the epitome of "bringing the fight"
Total team effort- Tre and Big Vern were off the charts.
K is a literal genius at times- last nights "fight" and crisp execution is no coincidence

We apparently have twin Javins.
I like this guy better.
Black Jersey Javin is the Javin we want and NEED.

Again, defense travels! When our offense comes along, we will be lethal.
87 points on the road in a hostile environment without our 3rd best scorer ain't too bad. For context, UNC has yet to hit 80 once this season.
Edit* (and we've only failed to hit 80 once)
Big win last night and could see the laser focus from opening tip. Moved the ball high/low very nicely and got after it on defense.
Yes, Javin played well last night! Definitely gotta give him props.
I thought everyone played well, except Alex unfortunately.
Heck, Jordan even made the same exact layup that he air-balled in Louisville last year!
Thought Javin maybe played his best game in a Duke uniform. And of course...Joey Buckets.

RJ Barrett wanted this game as soon as the non conference schedule was released this summer
I wish I could have stayed up to watch it. But they seem to do better when I do not watch the game live. I am going to forebear live telecasts to help the team. Will watch "Bosch" 5th season during Va Tech game. There is nothing I won't do to help Duke win. OFC
Such Balanced Scoring! Five guys in double figures WITHOUT Stanley! K had this group prepared and firing on all cylinders!!! OFC
Anyone heard from our next coach today? He doesn’t seem to show up when we play well.
He's busy training for the street brawl that will occur next time someone disagrees with him, cuz that's how real men settle things.
Props to dukehoke , he actually had a thread here preseason about how this team would play this year and he was spot on saying we'd win the big games and lose a few to teams that would be completely unexplained. I'm very excited about Tre, he RAN the team last night, steered it, guided it. He really impresses me how his cat like reflexes just explode at times, and when he gets those steals deep, the way he drops those fast break passes over the top are a thing of beauty. Rewind and take a look at this pass he dropped over the top to Hurt, I mean damn, gift wrapped for success. The thread through Winston with the high heat bounce pass with pinpoint accuracy. This kid is steaming. And I think this was a breakout game for Vernon. He really seemed to finally realize how to play BIG with his body. Spreading out and creating space, they were bouncing off of him like flies on a windshield. Honestly, I like his frame and play even better than Jah. Everybody at this board needed this one. It's a heal game. I know some folks here been on the bash K train this week, but K just pulled out the .50 cal and blew MSU out of their own house. Good stuff.
What an important recruit Vernon Carey was for us!
Hopefully we can stop hearing about how we “don’t have a go to scorer this year”

@OldasdirtDevil can we get a gif of Tre using that guy as a surfboard from last night?
That's cool you were a student there then. I remember the fanbase would let JJ have it.
After last night performance we gotta like our chances even more to get the win in Blacksburg. 2 road wins at MSU and At VT in one week would be a big boost for this team.
Tre did abuse that child with the behind the back dribble.
I couldn't believe Bilas on that foul call on the "surfboard". The kid slid backward and right to the spot where Jones came down. I'm sure the kid didn't do it on purpose, but if it had been Grayson Allen, the world would be looking for a suspension.
Don't trust you Sky. I am afraid that if I click on it, it won't be the Beach Boys, but some tall goofy looking dweeb guy with red hair.
That is finny. I am laughing. I don't blame you. You will just have to take a chance. The way the video is set up Tre is keeping perfect time with the music. It's like dirt and I got together and put it together in a studio. Notice the players behind Tre are kind of keeping with the beat of thr music. It might even go viral.

If we feed vern like last night I love our chances...they simply have no answer for him.
I think they matched up good with MSU and that's a big part of why they beat them....they have no matchup for vern...their 6'6 center isn't going to do it
Do you mean like this, BlueDav?
OFC
hahaha yes, didn’t know if you wanted to get fancy and put them on a wave or something
Did you notice Tre's right hand kind of keeping the beat with the music? It'seems like he's snapping his fingers to the beat. OFC
Well I'll be. I almost called it except for the margin of victory. Michigan State doesn't spread you out as much so we could play more aggressive at the point of attack. They only had one ball handler so we kept pressure on him. This team likes these big games. It's as simple as that. The last few years that's how our teams have been. It's those games we are expected to win that really get us.
Joey Baker needs to be starting! No questions asked. This dude is a sniper. He's everything we hoped Alex could be. I don't know why Coach just won't let him loose. Getting him and Vernon on the same side is going to cause hell for everybody. Virginia Tech is in trouble. Shoutout to Tre, Vernon, and Javin as well
First off, I’ll give you a little credit. You know basketball. But so does most everyone that posts here. The problem with you is, you are quick to want credit for your predictions, or blame Koach (as you call him) for not doing what you think he should, which is a reason your prophecies didn’t come true. Damn him!
Your other problem is I’ve yet to read a post of yours where you admit you were wrong.
I’ll give you one that happened this season already, and that was before a game, in the game day thread, and I believe it was Georgia State, where you said you hoped Tre wouldn’t shoot any 3’s. Thank God he didn’t listen to you, because he hit at least 3 if I’m not mistaken.
Where were you after that game?
Look, I say a lot, and I’m right sometimes, and sometimes I’m not. I question Coach K some, but you act like you know more than he does.
Learn how to eat some humble pie. As you get older, and hopefully wiser, it will help with your maturation.
On my screen it looks like you’re replying to nobody.
