***DUKE VS ST. JOHN'S OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[tclark6]

Nerves shot...

 

[K-oach Q]

Nice play there from Bagley and a real good decision on the pass to our hottest shooter...

 

[tclark6]

Free throws?????

 

[germantondevil]

St Johns coming unglued and giving Duke a chance take advantage boys

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Just win just win

 

[tclark6]

New ball game!

 

[tripleb71]

Duval has been a monster this second half. They can't stay with him. He really CAN be elite.

 

[LTDukeFan]

...and slap that floor baby!!

 

[Duke1783]

No stopping us the Trevon and Gary are playing like this

 

[tclark6]

I love that I hear our fans....

 

[dukesince91]

It's called going with the hot hand. You don't think someone who is playing really well deserves more time out there when everyone is sucking ? Carter was winded give him a small break and give bolden the chance to hold it down for a bit when he shows hes capable. You especially don't take him of for delaurier who hasn't played and is cold. Just doesn't make sense. Looks like we're making a comeback.

The post I responded to was Carter for Bolden not Javin.
I said we needed offense and a coach is going to go with the player he's got confidence in, especially when you're losing..

SJ: “He’s a 58% free throw shooter” - goes 2 for 2 at the line..

DUKE: “He’s the 6th best free throw shooter in the ACC” - misses the front end of a 1 and 1..

 

[DukefanKY]

If this team has taught us anyone this year.....it ain't over till it's over

 

[germantondevil]

Please Duval

 

[kingbluedevil]

This has been all on me. Since watching on a different TV St Johns has only scored 1 point. Lol

 

[germantondevil]

F”$&!

 

[Dad2ze]

Good grief Duval

 

[tclark6]

Wow...they are about to end their 11 game losing streak...

 

[germantondevil]

Should they take Duval out? If he gets a lane they will foul him

 

[skysdad]

Please Duval

SJ has a 58 percent F.T. shooter and he hits both. We have a 60 percent f.t. shooter and he misses both. Crunch time. OFC

 

[Showenuff]

Unreal.

 

[tripleb71]

An Allen sighting!

 

[DukefanKY]

Wow.....can't believe he made that prayer 3

 

[Duke1783]

Of course that 3 is going in

 

[dukesince91]

Grayson Allen....Stone Cold Killer!

 

[K-oach Q]

Can’t defend that any better....

 

[K-oach Q]

Need to make a stand without fouling....

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Of course that 3 is going in

Oh yea you know it! I knew that when it left his hand. If it were any other team it would be a big brick

 

[kingbluedevil]

Grayson Allen only five shots today. Awful

 

[K-oach Q]

Hard to believe that’s Allen’s first basket....

 

[dukesince91]

I think I would go for a steal and then foul early.

 

[germantondevil]

Why in the hell did Trent lay off? This teams mentality sometimes?!?!?! And foul their best free throw shooter

Exactly. But when Bolden is doing well it makes little sense to sub in a player whos cold to hold down the paint with another who's struggling. Carter looked tired mentally and physically on both of those plays. give him a chance to rest and get his mind cleared and put him back in while bolden holds it down was what i was suggesting. this game's giving me a heart attack. If we lose it'll be real bad

 

[Buzzooka Joe]

You have to foul if we don’t get the steal.. SJ has been getting every loose ball.

 

[Duke1783]

We can’t win a game from the line

 

[tclark6]

Welp

 

[youngman42]

Man. We just totally suck at FT shooting! That's the reason this is a loss.

Unreal.

 

[Showenuff]

Why foul there?

 

[ioliva]

Got damn it that play was awful no movement for ten friggin seconds are you kidding

 

[K-oach Q]

Guys we are never going to shoot free throws well....only Allen and Trent JR are good at them....we are what we are....
