Champagnie is killing us...no soph slump for him....a 3 star - leaps and bounds improvement
***DUKE VS PITT OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***
- Thread starter krzyzewskiville
- Start date
a key possession to cut the lead and we TO the pass and give a subsequent 3....hurting ourselves
Champagnie is 11 of 14 from the field with at least a dozen rebounds. Duke must either go box and one or man with special attention to him
This team just needs to play more games. I'd try to play the makeup games as soon as possible.
Johnson is clearly our best player and is really the only reason this is a game at the moment.
well what do you know.....in the game but can we sustain this effort? Been much more energy the last 10 mins...just need to have that killer instinct to drive the momentum home. Lets see it!
Johnson stepping up with huge plays on both ends. If someone else steps up we can win this game
we are -12 from the FT line....right there is a major reason they are ahead
Roach, Steward, Moore, Johnson, Hurt is our best 5. Goldwire can be the 6th man. Anything we get out of the rest of the roster is gravy, but there’s just not a lot there right now after the first 5.
first 5 of the 2nd wasn't good...last 15 much better effort if we can push to the end. Just haven't seen them start a half like this so they need to build on this effort
The poor offense set there kinda set it up though
I miss the screaming coach K at the end of games....bringing the intensity.
a missed 3 kills us and then a missed lay up....defense wasn't there in the end.....congrats to Capel
Zone helped but if we play any team with a decent PG and an inside presence we are toast. Shooting is a major issue just like last year. Miss the days of JJ/Allen/Trajon etc that could hit a 3 and a dagger ....20 missed 3's are like TO's for us...make 5 2pt fg's out of those trips and we win....our IQ isn't good and situation game management seems poor. Better effort tonight but we arent moving forward in terms of consistency or identity.
In order to blame Baker he has to stay in the game longer . If he’s not an ACC player then neither is Brakeafield, Tape, Coleman, Goldwire .
But yet we just let a three star player go to 33 on our five stars so I guess their three star is the ideal ACC player I’m lost.
My last point no need for Duke to recruit big men. Got three no real play and Hurt couldn’t guard my daughter.

I guess you can see what it could potentially be. They made Pitt uncomfortable, but just did a few things at bad times that killed the momentum. Credit to Pitt for not falling apart. They have looked truly horrible at times this year, so I’m encouraged by the 13 or so minute stretch there in the second half.
