***DUKE VS SAN DIEGO STATE NCAA TOURNEY OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

I like our chances because Winslow is so engaged. We are tough to beat when he is playing like this!

He looks infinitely more comfortable today.

Man, Winslow is everywhere…he's single-handedly forcing turnovers and offense.
 
As Jed Clampett always says. " Weeeeeee Doggies.?

We're playing well. Love the focus and intensity on defense so far.

Let's keep it going now. A lead of 15+ would be huge at the half.
 
Jah & Justise are the only ones that score against their half court defense. They are clamping down on everyone else with their length and quickness.

OFC
 
Not the strongest of finishes to a half, but I think if any of us were offered a 13-point halftime lead an hour ago we would have said sign us up. I'm pleased with the first half. Now we just need to stay focused and keep going to Jahlil. We're 20 minutes away from the Sweet 16.
 
Little lull there under the two minute mark got the lead under 15, but for the most part a solid half. The length is problamatic, but continuing to go to Jay whenever possible can neutralize some of that.
 
I don't like how they cut it down there the last two minutes but that's nit picking at this point. We are up thirteen...keep defending and move the ball on offense we should be fine.

I know Jah is dominating but my fav. Player has been Winslow he is everywhere and doing everything right now. I'd like to see Tyus get going a bit but he just controls the game with a steady hand....I have a feeling he will be there if we need him.

That's 2 games in a row he's done that. I'm glad he's doing that. Great first half. We need to keep the intensity at this level. Full throttle 2nd. half. OFC
 
Lol the things Jahlil is able to do is just unfair. And when Justice plays this focused watch out!! I have the stomach flu just like several of the SDSU coaches and players do and maybe I gave it to them? Im the real MVP so far lol!!
 
I'm excited with how that half went. Let's keep it up.
 
Looking very good! Hope Jah sets up on the blocks in the second half. He is way too far out now. Also, going to need Tyus & Quinn to step it up a tad in the second half. Need to take a little pressure off Okafor to give him some space.
Love our defense, we seem to be talking really well. If our defense holds up, we will be fine. Love to see one of our patented runs to start the second half.
Go Duke!!

I think the NCAA requires it in the postseason. Trust me, he wouldn't do it if he didn't have to.
 
Kenny expressed my thoughts, as soon as it slows down and goes half court it's advantage them. Their size is really bothering us. Gotta keep running every chance we get. Don't want the game pressure to creep around. Would feel great if Tyus was clicking..... Lets play another great 20, get back to Durham and PREPARE!!!! Great half to watch. Justice is NASSTTTYYYY
 
Just noticed. We didn't miss a free throw in the first half.

I'm happy with that first half. Keep it up we play another day. Love this team I'm always nervousness before tourney games but they've made me feel a lot better so far in both games!
 
Side bar. Gene Banks is now my face book friend.

Hmmm, not completely comfortable with this slower pace now. Gotta keep the pace up!
 
Game pressure building folks..... Do not like the settling for threes, speed this thing up!!! Wondering if the twin tower line up for a but would help. Getting abused on the glass. We need Tyus bad!!!! Come on stud, find it

We're having huge problems with it. If the Aztecs get it close, I'm going to get worried because of it.

OFC
 
They are really doubling hard now...some guys are going to have to knock down some shots. Also nobody is moving when Jah is doubled everyone is just standing still....cut to the basket.
 
The Justise League comes through with a big rebound and the outlet to Quinn for a 3! We needed that badly.

OFC
 
I don't like the execution thus far in this half. We are just standing around and shooting jump shots playing right to what they do best.
 
When Matt jones drives in this game, it hasn't worked out to well for us!
 
I have a criticism of Quinn. His defense today has been awful, IMO. Dont know how you play defense when u are always five feet behind your guy. He gets blown by incredibly easy, especially off screens. He has done this now like the last 3 SDSU possesions.
 
Man Allen can't catch a whistle this game..I'm suprised we haven't used the bench any this half especially to give Jah a breather.

I've noticed that he seems to do a lot of halftime interviews during the NCAA tourney. I might be wrong but I believe it's a requirement that head coaches do halftime interviews during the NCAA tourney.
 
Nearly 30 minutes of basketball played and have not went to the line once.
 
Confused why Amile isn't on the floor, great defender with length and crashed the glass???

I agree...it feels that way this half....
