***DUKE VS NORTH CAROLINA OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[denverexpat]

well that lead didnt last long - reverted back to poor defense and giving up lay ups
They sped us up and we cant keep up or get organized when they play at that pace

 

[K-oach Q]

We haven't stopped them all game...they just pound the paint...we have to shore up the paint...

 

[pisgah101]

Tatum is killing us right now

 

[SoCal Dukie]

Jefferson at the 5 is brutal. They will not win if he gets the Center minutes down the stretch.

 

[dbav]

What we learned is that Grayson needs to be on the floor, haha.

 

[K-oach Q]

It's been a lot harder for us to score than them all game...we are shooting lights out....but that won't win down the stretch vs. 4ft and in...

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

I'll agree on Jefferson. Not sure there is a better answer but it is the issue right now!

We're fine, game of runs!

 

[skysdad]

In case any of you Tarholes are trolling....fouls stand at

Duke - 11
UNC - 7

But it should be .

Duke 25
UNC 5

OFC

 

[NYBlueDevil]

A 7 point lead vanishes in seconds. That's just plain old bad defense. Man we do some dumb stuff in games...

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

We're letting them score too easily. Have to ratchet up our intensity, and not foul. Look for Grayson to be back in after the timeout.

OFC

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Tatum has good stretches but I don't like the way he plays at all

 

[DukeDenver]

Tatum is killing us right now

Tatum is the basketball version of the movie Big. He plays like a child in the body of an NBA small forward. It's so frustrating. We have to ride him though, because he might just come of age before late March.

 

[denverexpat]

UNC on an 8-8 stretch shooting - including 2 threes - hard to hold a lead if all the other team does is score

 

[bluedevilfan42]

Good Lord what are they shooting right now - about 95%. At least that's what it feels like.

Hope so!!!

 

[K-oach Q]

OK...our turn to suck it up before it's out of control...we've gone ice cold and that was carrying us...

 

[sheyduke]

Good game but I have a feeling UNC as a team is about to take over. Sorry but their transition is killing Duke.

 

[dukiejay]

Bolden just looks lost out there. The moment is too big for him.

 

[Dukesince90]

That no call on the tug of Meeks shirt sure seems to have affected the refs with Ol Roy whining for about 3 minutes.

 

[germantondevil]

holes just look quicker and are playing so much more aggressive right now

 

[skysdad]

Adjustments made. Got to score , stop, score , stop , score. Now let's win this thing. OFC

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

Boy not capitalizing on all that energy has put us in a tough spot. 4 feels big right now

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

You're mistaken Duke90, only K works the refs.

OFC

 

[SoCal Dukie]

The early season Duke is back. No fight, no leadership, careless play. Come on fellas.

 

[Dad2ze]

The fans seem to have lost all emotion and energy

 

[Dukesince90]

Damn I'm glad we have Grayson!

 

[skysdad]

Yes. Make a stop. OFC

 

[Mpm277]

Just weather this storm.

 

[NYBlueDevil]

Garbage defense...

 

[KellenPatrick]

Why do they let that midget Berry get to the rim uncontested like that?!! Jesus.

 

[skysdad]

That hurt. OFC

 

[KellenPatrick]

What a cheapie on Grayson. Wow.

 

[Dukesince90]

Get Harry back in the game.

 

[Dad2ze]

Wow!!!!

 

[NYBlueDevil]

No defense at all

 

[denverexpat]

Garbage defense...

20 secs of good - then 10 secs of not - Tatum is getting beat one on one but he is keeping us in it on the other end....live by the sword die by the sword

 

[skysdad]

We were lucky there. OFC

 

[K-oach Q]

its 3pt shooting vs the layup train...we have to stay hot!

 

[Mpm277]

Grayson literally done nothing...

 

[DukeSky85]

What a game!
