***DUKE VS NC STATE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

Duke 84
NCSU 70

I just read that Jeter will miss tonight's game after undergoing a procedure done on his lower back for a herniated disc

 

[Duke It Out]

No Luke or Grayson in starting lineup again......going with the same 5 that started the 2nd half against Miami. Hard to see keeping both of them out of the starting lineup too long.

Let's hope this same lineup that led the way does the job on defense again! Let's go Duke!

 

[DukeCE2006]

Bolden working really hard..such a difference. Love it.

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Bolden aggressive early

 

[Dukeprodigy22]

I love this starting lineup... ball doesn't stick In one players hands and I have seen the team effort to get the ball inside and get assists instead of isolation. Marques had two dunks he shouldve put down but more confidence and rhythm he is a st8 beast and clogs the middle on D.

 

[Mpm277]

Jay Bilas makes that same exact joke literally every time.

 

[DukeDenver]

Frank looking more confident. Huge.

 

[dukiejay]

Nice pass there by Luke!

 

[DukeDenver]

NCState makes so many mental errors.

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

I believe Grayson and Luke got the message Saturday night

 

[Mpm277]

Harry is looking much more comfortable out there. Not just on that shot, but in general. Even just moving up and down the court.

 

[germantondevil]

I love Grayson he doesn't back down from nothing or nobody. Love or hate it I love it

 

[2 skerz 3]

What's the point of the new starting lineup? If it's for defensive purposes why does Jayson get the nod? Interesting to say the least.

That state guy initiated the contact

Because they have effort the other night and rewarding them tonight because of it

I love it

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

No doubt

Disagree completely, but to each his own.

 

[DukeCE2006]

Did you guys see Beejay Anya on the bench?? He is a house!

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Disagree completely, but to each his own.

Well maybe because they brought us from the dead Saturday and rewarding them for that?

Do you agree with that? Haha

 

[Dukesince90]

Tatum playing much more under control and seeing his teammates, 3 assist in 10 minutes. I'd say that's much better by him.

No, I don't.

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

No, I don't.

So why should we stay with the lineup that was playing like garbage? Please do tell

 

[Mpm277]

Geez, that's was pretty by Grayson

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Guys are hustling.

OFC

Mostly because out best lineup has a chance to win #6. Not starting your pre season all american, and your mid season all american seems silly to me when you start our worst defender and ball stopper in Tatum. Also rewarding a guy (Bolden) who hasn't played hard all season till Saturday night (for 6 miutes)

Ok if you say so

I'm sorry but IMO Luke is by far out worst defender...by a huge margin

 

[pisgah101]

I'd like to see Luke instead of Tatum otherwise I'm ok with the starters tonight

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

Don't let them hang around much longer!!!

Disagree. What about Grayson? What's the reason he's not starting? Has he not proven himself as a player who gives his all at all times the past 2.5 years?

Are you two gonna have a pissing match all night?

 

[germantondevil]

Man have to love the the minutes Giles is giving Duke he looks more comfortable by the minute

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

If only we could hit free throws

 

[2 skerz 3]

Adults have conversations. Even disagreements. It's gonna be okay bud, we are all Duke fans.

 

[Dukesince90]

Some one other than Grayson needs to trip Dennis Smith. Just kidding.
That kid's back has to be hurting, causing he's carrying State.

 

[Mpm277]

Shew that three was crisp.

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

Feels like we played better then +6. Hopefully not stepping on their throat doesn't come back into conversation

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

No I'm done...no winning with him..

Glad Capel is coaching and not him
