***DUKE VS NC STATE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***
- Thread starter krzyzewskiville
- Start date
hope this gives them the confidence they desperately needed. That was a really really good half.
Had to watch on delay
1) terrible start
2) much more aggressive in the second half, especially Moore and Stanley. They played like coach was calling their numbers
3) loved seeing K with the jacket off, barking commands, pointing to spots on the floor, celebrating Stanley’s sick dunk... very involved coaching, and it rubs off
4) we need a couple more plays for stall ball other than the clear out by Carey for Tre to drive
5) JRob for President

Hell Yeah! I love our guys! This was a huge shot in the arm for our team's confidence, and a much needed win. Cheats coming up...GTHC, GTH!!!

Great job. Major gut check. When they broke it open when they went zone and were limiting them to one shot and attacking by getting ahead of their defense. JRob rocks!!

Can you imagine how good we could be if some of our players didn’t suck, and some weren’t trash? And if K would coach?
Good adjustment to go to zone in this game because clearly we couldn’t stop the pick and roll. I hope we don’t try to play it exclusively. But if Tre is going to play 40 minutes a night we need to throw zone in there for about 10 minutes a game so he can kind of rest. We played well tonight. We can be better. The media needs to ask Coach K why Justin didn’t play against Virginia
J-Rob needs to get every one of Javin’s minutes from this point on.. nothing against Javin, but Justin can do everything Javin does, better.. and makes the whole team better.
I swear, I hope it's not one negative post about anything after the game. You that like to be negative, find something better to do right now. You few guys have had 2 complete game threads, back to back to let the rest of us know how the season is basically done. So politely excuse yourself and let the rest of us enjoy ourselves again.
Second half may be the best half of basketball we've played all year. How 'bout that J Rob. You can tell he's worked hard on his overall game. Deserves more p.t. until he proves he's a liabilty which he has not been all year. You gotta go with who's playing best whether he's a five star or a walk on. Next up are the cheating heels. We can't take it for granted. You can bet your bottom dollar. Bottom one hundred dollars if you have Shows kind of money that the cheaters are gonna be pumped. Just need to whip their rear ends by a bunch to take the wind out of their cocky tails and send them on that short trip back to cheater heel. Bust that cheating momentum they think they got going. Stanley was AWESOME! OFC
I wish, Soldier, but it's just hard for some to crawl out of that negativity cellar.

I need Mod power for one game, just one. This board will look like it just got started lol.
I havent seen Coach K fired up in several games, its really nice to see.
That felt way better! I hope we can build on it and be ready for the tourneys!
It was also finally good to see Duke implement a plan B on defense, which was the zone.
Yep - good adjustment and first time this year maybe? The freshman may be be more comfortable in that defense since its the most common one played in HS and youth basketball
I had a feeling we'd see the zone tonight. Another look for teams to have to prepare for against the Devils.

It’s official Cassius is from another planet. Good grief!
And JRob was awesome! Hope he continues to get more opportunities - seems like a very heady player that doesn’t make many mistakes and is always around the ball.

Great game...more zone to protect vernon...more jrob...his instincts and energy are great!!!!
Yes, sir! I have no idea how we had such a crazy dip in confidence, but team seemed to get things back to normal, a bit, in the second half. Let’s get it all going, and anything can happen!
I’m with you on this. I think that if anyone posts anything excessively or overly negative then they should receive a temporary ban until just before the game starts on Saturday. lol
This thread was way more entertaining when we were playing like trash.
I second that. One more vote and lets take it to one of the mods lol.
It kinda snowballed on us, Jnood. State took us to the woodshed in that 1st game, and then I feel we were still shell shocked against WF. We lost to UVA, but that was always going to be a very tough game, so I felt like we at least were trending a little better after that game. And you're right, anything can happen!

I loved the energy they showed even with the slow start. They just seemed different to me in that phase of the game.
LMFAO, because you hit the nail on the head with THIS!
Damn, winning is so much more fun...well, to some of us anyway.

K made some adjustments. No offense, but about time. Good to see the zone, some fire, and the ol man get rid of the coat. The zone stabilized us, threw them off just enough for us to punch the sh** out of them.
Now we need to build off this. I’m ready to beat the dog sh** out of the holes.
Beat them into submission.

Great game from pretty everyone who played. We just need to play every game with same aggressive mindset on offense, while constantly moving the ball and switch between pressure and zone on D and we should be good. So freaking glad we got this one. It was do or die time and our guys decided that it wasn’t their time.
