Here is a stat that really hurts...
The only team St Johns put up a higher offensive efficiency number against this season was Sacred Heart
You guys sound like spoiled brats. Grow a pair. That only counts as one loss. We’re about to go play UNC, and it’d be nice if you pessimists stopped crying by then so we can actually support our team. Otherwise, peace out until then.

I don’t fault the OAD players for their lack of consistent effort in these mid year games. They have at lot at stake, and losing a few games won’t really affect their lives at all. There’s no reason for K or anyone to expect 100% sacrifice from sure NBA picks. That doesn’t mean that we can’t mix in a few OADs with some vets and get a nice product. It helps if your PG knows how to manage a game. Duval is still pretty green and his instinct is to do things solo. Grayson is the only steady veteran force. Bolden and DeLaurier are not leaders yet. Robinson/White/Vrank have the leadership and commitment, but can’t find the floor as long as pros are crowding their positions. Goldwire is just not experienced enough yet, but is already showing flashes of being a Quinn-like force in the future.Welcome to the one and done world. They just don’t understand at the level of intensity you have to play at when DUKE is strapped across your chest. Of course they do know how to sign a contract at years end. That’s the main thing
When you play with nothing to lose, then you can just play.THAT is our issue. I looked at their 3 point shooting the last 4 games before this one and it wasn't even close. Why does it seem like every team we play has their best game of the year from the 3 point line? And all of them are not wide open. I've seen a lot of teams throw up a 3 that I thought had no chance, and it's all net. So frustrating
Everyone on this board was complaining about defense the entire 2015 run. We dropped two straight and this board went mad. We lose in the ACCT to ND and again everyone said we were an early exit in the NCAA Tourney. I’ll agree the defense is good at times and looks terrible the rest of the time. We play for March.Lol you don't need to go to practice every day to see that Duke has had problems defensively consistently for the past decade. That's a coaching issue. Whether it's the way the team is being built or the coaching that's being done is your pick. It's funny too how many times that people have said on this board "they'll get it relax!" and then we go onto the tournament lose and start saying how they always knew this team wouldn't go far. Duke has constantly had the same problems year after year for the last decade besides two years.
Why because he said we? We all say we. C’mon.You make it sound like you attended Duke or played for Duke. Did you do either of these things?
LOLGreat analysis. Stupid, but great analysis.
Is any one going to give St John's any credit? they shot light outs,their defense was great..they played better....period..This team has 4 losses and some posters on here are in total meltdown mode. Relax, NC State is a tournament team beating Unc, Duke, and Arizona. Boston College was the 1st conference game and on the road. Virginia was the #2 ranked team and has one of the best defenses in the country. This loss was terrible, no doubt. Good thing our guys still have 8 regular season games to fine tune it up. Don’t be a fair weather fan and only cheer the team on when things are going well for Duke.
I will say that I move on much quicker after losses than I used to. But you have to also realize that some fans will still be ho hum even if we were in last place. Guess it is all just how you view it as a fan.Nothing wrong if people vent when they lose, especially to a team like today. Personally it makes me sick to my stomach, mainly because I love this program and I have my whole life. So don’t call out every downer after a loss. I have more concern about fans that are just ho hum after a terrible loss. Hell just like everyone else here, come the next game I will be here on my game chair stomping, cussing, and throwing shit again unless we have a 20 point lead with 5 min to go.

Easy to feel that way today but Kansas lost and Arizona has a tough road game tonight. So who is the fourth one seed still seems wide open through February to me.There should be no more discussion about a 1 seed. Duke is not in that conversation anymore.
Cheers buddy! I'm right behind you out the door!Yikes, it’s getting petty and a bit embarrassing on here. I’ll see y’all for the next game. Go Duke!
Cheers buddy! I'm right behind you out the door!
If you have to use calendar technicalities to omit the Sweet 16 from the second weekend... your "straight facts" are part of your drama....that’s 8 times since 2007 we haven’t played on the second weekend or have been out on the Thurs/Friday game which isn’t a weekend....So Drama...LMAO those are straight facts...I would love to see us play on the second weekend...it actually does not happen much anymore....
Keep on coming with the weak, insecure posts! Just funny to me at this point and have been for years.
Should have sat that reply out.They feel worse than us? I’ve loved this ream my whole life! For them this is a pit stop on the way to the NBA
Yup, which is why I'm inclined to make fun of those of us who lead the charge.We turn into every board we make fun of after a bad loss.

There's also all the difference in the world between "hasn't happened lately" and "doesn't happen much... anymooOOOoorrruh!"
Opinions varyShould have sat that reply out.
They've dedicated their entire lives to this game. Claiming this means nothing more than a pit stop to them is no way to show how you've loved this team your whole life, exclamation point.
It's called venting idiot. Everyone doesn't have a desire to be friends with people on a message board and invite them to their house. I have better things to do than to spend all day, everyday, on a message board.You're saying K is washed up and I'm bringing weak posts? LOL. There are a lot of newer posters here that haven't seen your "style" through the years. It's just old and moldy for me. You go ahead and lower expectations for the rest of K's career, I'll stay a little more positive, but hey, that's just me, I don't get off on pretending to be a Duke fan, only showing up after losses and chiseling away at morale. It's just stupid to me someone would get off on shit like that.
Do you think freshmen destined to be 4-year college players do any better? I don't. Long after I had passed my Dad in size, strength, and pretty much every measure of physical ability, he could still outwork me. It wasn't that I could've but chose otherwise; I lacked the mental strength and know-how.I don’t fault the OAD players for their lack of consistent effort in these mid year games.

And when we win by double digits on thursday,everyone will be back on board

And you're right. You don't get off pretending to be a Duke fan. You get off on pretending to be a tough guy. The only thing that does is highlight how insecure of a man you are. You try to be a bully on a message board for crying out loud. Grow up.
Now back to Duke basketball.
I'm not leaving because of the loss, I'm leaving because of the complaining. Sure I complain a bunch, but today is crazy bad.
