It’s criminal that Paolo touches the ball above the free throw line all the time. Infuriating he won’t post up.
11 point half time lead. Could have been better, could have been worse but we left the door open for them. Williams, John and Roach with 2 fouls. Roach and Keels with 3 points between them; thank God for Moore and AJ.
complete
And roach comes out immediately on that turn over for keels. Leave him in. The bell stops moving when keels controls it
Yep. Second half dog fight coming and we all know they gonna get the home cookin
Because he’s a shooter that’s open. Duke needs to take care of the ball and drive jump shooting isn’t helping
Horrible last 8+ minutes of the half. Banchero has to be smarter. Smaller guy on him and what does he decide to do? play like a guard. He has to be tougher and smarter.
Keels is not a point guard, but Roach hasn’t played well either.
Have to play smarter for 20 more minutes.

Let them back in the game. Should have went directly at Bacot when he got the second foul. Paolo need to get the ball not 25ft from the basket. He's got the size advantage over Love
He’s not a shooter, he’s average my man. He doesn’t need to settle, get it to guys that afford to take those shots.
No killer instinct...got up big and relaxed. Seems to happen a lot with this team. If they kept the hammer down this would be over, but its now going to depend on the first 5 of the second half. We are better when we move the ball and not get into one on one mode. I'd have taken an 11pt lead at half if offered though!
Duke should be up by 20 or more. AJ and PB left Manek wide open for 3s. PB wants to play outside and didn’t score in something like 15 minutes. 42-22 should be the score. With 2 fouls on Bacot why not screen and make him guard PB. Baker misses 2 wide open 3s. Saw this show with Miami. If you don’t put them away things can happen.
It's hard to maintain a 20 point lead over a good team. But I agree; we cannot let it get to single digits. Certainly not under 5.
The difference between Griffin and Banchero is that Griffin understands his own game and his own talents and plays within himself. Banchero wants to be something that he is not. It seems like he wants to be Steph Curry or someone like that. He may eventually become a really good outside shooter in the NBA, but right now he needs to post up and use his skills inside. Then let the three-point game come to him.
Um no he’s a shooter sorry and him hitting threes has got him his minutes. Don’t believe me watch the prior three games. He’s been hitting open shots . Duke will need their bench.
Love the fact you are not going to flex against these boys and not have someone in your face! GTHC GTH!
This is a good take. Paolo needs to work inside -out and to often tries to play outside - in.
If AJ plays like this consistently; we are a 1 seed and are going to the Final Four.
Down to 16. Oh ****

Lol you do realize every player has spurts right? The kid isn’t a shooter. Griffin is though!
Bacot with the moving screen and Bilas praises him.
Has there ever been so significant a traitor since Benedict Arnold?

Wonder what Keels +/- for the game. My guess is it's the worst on the team.
Ball movement comes to a complete stop when Keels comes in. It's like we go from an offense with great ball movement, to like watching a James Harden offense where he just dribbles the air out of the ball.
The Keels as the PG whenever he comes in excitement needs to come to an end already.

Chris. You know I've been on the AJ wagon for a long time. Kid is a stud
Roach is better running the team than Keels.....
No your wrong he gets in the game because his shooting capability. Your going off chance I trust K . His shots were good shots so your debate is lost. He’s in there because teams don’t guard him
I hope Hubert gets a lifetime contract
