Young teams that lack confidence play slow and soft. We lost our swagger and it’s trending in the wrong direction.
This team is as good as it’s defense..we struggle offensively. Early in the year we locked down everyone...it’s been almost two months since we played defense at that level.
Why did we not get a shot off at the end of the half. Didn't even get a shot off. Rightvnow hats are off to the cheaters. They are out playing us in every phase of the game and most important they know and understand the meaning of the rivalry. They actually get and understand what Coach K was trying to get across to his Duke players earlier this week. I wonder what's going on in the Duke locker room ? OFC
Man, I swear. SMDH. We all get a little frustrated because they are not playing up to OUR standards, but some here may have lived in a safe bubble and never seen or had to deal with a little adversity. I have confidence in K and our players not to go into a panic mode and start with the certain players suck crap.
I wonder if Bacot thinks that Cindy Lu Who ponytail looks good ?
I hate saying it but didn’t our offense look so much better when Tre was sitting?
Somebody from our bench has to step up. Zero points out of them. The problem with Wendell and Tre is they aren’t 3 point threats, and Hurt has just disappeared.
I know this sounds crazy, but Alex being what he is not helping. He’s second most athletic guy on the team, but can’t get off the bench.

You know we’re playing bad when guys like Keeling and Pearce are scoring on us
UNC shooting 59%. A lot of easy baskets but also hitting shots they normally miss. No one defending them.
They do seem a step slow for whatever reason. I'm hoping they know it's a long season and can turn it up. I think the sage continues that no matter how bad a team looks when Duke shows up, they have an out-of-body experience and play like their lives depend on it.
Enjoy, because I’m hoping not to see food in my lap during the second half... I think I might throw up my dinner if we continue to play like this.
A game is 2 halves. The adjustments are coming. I don't think they will shoot 60% in the second half.
it's not just them, that dude who came in at the end whom I've never heard of, he's scoring as well.
Moore reminds me of Cam last year...same expectations but seems to not deliver that type of impact. Oh to have a 3pt shooter on the team.
I always expect Tre to control the flow of the game in these matchups and he hasn’t done a good job of that this year imo.
Hell we already have 8 pages at halftime. He ain’t the only one.
Man, exactly. But if by chance they do, hats off to them if they win. Sometimes we as fans have to look past the thinking that our Duke team is the only one who can't have bad games. As long as they fight and at the end of the game, they did more fighting than playing with no passion, the outcome, either way, I can deal with and look forward to the next game.
