***DUKE VS NORTH DAKOTA STATE - NCAA TOURNAMENT OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[bluedevilfan42]

Well what do ya know. We go inside with the ball we score. What a concept.

 

[DukefanKY]

I'd be okay if we shot less than 10 threes the whole tourney.

Me too!!!

 

[saGz777]

Just keep getting it inside and avoid settling!

 

[Dad2ze]

Can we rebound sometime soon!

 

[Louisville Crazie]

Rj is playing in pain

 

[Bludvls1]

Get in the paint. Draw fouls. Shoot FTs.

 

[Buzzooka Joe]

I have a feeling RJ’a ankle is going to get worse once he sits for a couple minutes..

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Does RJ ever sit? Everyone but him seems to at different times

 

[PixelDevil]

SO I guess it's RJ's turn now. Anyone not had a chance yet? Cam? Them ankles looking a little too healthy right now.

 

[Shatterthesky22]

I'm glad the new scenery hasn't changed Duke's identity. They will continue to chuck up ill advised threes regardless of the competition, stage, or setting.

Seriously, if we just pounded it in the paint every possession we'd average 60 paint points a game. Literally no one can stop us inside. It'd also lead to constant wide open 3's.

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Make your FT’s Cam!

 

[BM16]

Getting out rebounded 13-5 by a team you are more physical and bigger than is inexcusable.

 

[Duke1783]

Nice move Cam

 

[PixelDevil]

Cam came to play!

 

[LONMUNU]

Isn’t that no play on the ball?

 

[crazyduke3]

Nice steal cam

 

[Buzzooka Joe]

I like Cam.. but if we had Gary Trent this year, he would have been a Top10 pick this draft.. he would have had all the open 3’s he wanted.

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Tre!

 

[dbav]

Tre with the mid range. Keep going inside. Come on fellas.

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Nice D!

 

[Louisville Crazie]

Good D

 

[PixelDevil]

Awesome defense right there

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Zion!

 

[DeepColor]

Did Duke bring their own refs this game or did Sky have to pay them off again?

 

[BM16]

What is Zion doing out on the wing? Get down in the post.

 

[dbav]

Bolden has been solid. D is picking up. Shaking off the rust.

Let's go fellas!

 

[Laettner15]

RJ can’t buy a lay-up right now

 

[Duke1783]

Score the ball guys come on!

 

[LONMUNU]

I actually think Zion and RJ should play more two man ball like that.

 

[crazyduke3]

That time RJ just watched the air ball go out of bounds. Attta boy!

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

I feel a run is a coming!!!!
OFC

 

[SoCal_Dukie3]

Plenty of rim outs. Keep playing D.

 

[sheyduke]

Is Duke truly in a tight game with North Dakota St?

 

[denverexpat]

You would think that RJ and ZIon would be too much for these guys in a 2 man game so just stick to that

 

[Buzzooka Joe]

So glad to have Bolden back.. he definitely makes our team better.

 

[BlueDaveil]

I’ve never seen RJ miss one, let alone 2 shots at the basket with his left hand in a game. Hope he’s not hurting.

 

[PixelDevil]

Had a mismatch, Bolden on their pg, didn't get him the ball

 

[germantondevil]

Love the defensive effort thus far

 

[LONMUNU]

RJ having a rough time so far
