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

[JCColsCane]

This one is not about revenge, it is about the fist, everyone coming together and for one common goal, apply the experiences of this season, and make a run to the ultimate goal.
Tre and Vern will get a lot of help tonight, and Duke will get a much needed win.

Go Duke!

I have a feeling we blow their asses out tonight

This is what I think also. I believe they will be out for blood. Just hope the shots fall

They are desperate for another quality win. Would love nothing more to destroy the Woofies and send them back to Raleigh without it.

Duke: 81
NC State: 68

Let’s go Duke!!

[VaBlueDevil33]

I think Bilas does a good job...could be worse...could have jockitch or Walton

You got a point there!!!

[dukesince91]

This is probably the most important game of the season. We must get a win and regain confidence!

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Come on Jav. U gotta make that

 

[DukeCE2006]

Rough shot by Tre. Had baker for the 3

 

[Redickulous4]

Cringeworthy when Carey comes out to the 3 point line to defend and a screen comes. Good grief lol

 

[Jnood]

Really bad on both ends, so far!

 

[Buzzooka Joe]

It’s pretty wild this far into the season we don’t have a set starting 5

 

[Redickulous4]

It’s pretty wild this far into the season we don’t have a set starting 5

Or anything that resembles offensive sets lol

 

[Mpm277]

No one on this team has any edge whatsoever.

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Another shitty start....same ole story

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

Not a very pretty start. At least the Pack not very sharp either!!!
OFC

 

[duhondukie]

Yikes, not a good start

 

[Buzzooka Joe]

I’m not sure what starting Joey is suppose to accomplish when he only got 2.5 minutes and no shots.

 

[BlueDaveil]

Ugh. We shot something like 30% inside the paint last game don’t look any better so far. Need to hit a few shots to get the confidence going.

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

No one on this team has any edge whatsoever.

We are just a soft team IMO

 

[duhondukie]

Or anything that resembles offensive sets lol

Would love to see a screen set other than ball screen on just one offensive possession

 

[DukeCE2006]

We just aren’t making perimeter shots and 3s. Offense gets tight and leads to 1 on 1 without passing. Night and day when we played ND, hit shots, led to good defense, which led to transition baskets. We have had only 1 good shooting game since then.

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

I’m not sure what starting Joey is suppose to accomplish when he only got 2.5 minutes and no shots.

Probably read the board and decided he should start over Jordan

 

[Redickulous4]

Pathetic start. Really starting to get old.

 

[Duke1783]

WTF?!

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

DAMN MISSED LAYUPS. WHAT THE HELL!!!
OFC

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Tre needs to sit a bit

 

[duhondukie]

Keep pounding a square peg into round hole on defense. Try something else

 

[LetsGoDuke83]

Another slow start

 

[DukeCE2006]

1-13 so far...sigh

 

[Lavar5150]

Can we please recruit a shooter?

 

[LONMUNU]

Well this looks familiar

 

[PixelDevil]

Slow Start is becoming a meme now.

 

[Redickulous4]

When all else fails, start shooting 3s every time down the court. Really mind boggling to say the least.
