***DUKE VS SYRACUSE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[Jnood]

Defense!!

 

[PixelDevil]

I know this is a bit of a duh statement, but with Tre out the offense is just terrible. Pass it around on the perimeter until someone shoots a three. Occasionally dump it to Zion and let him do work. Yikes.

 

[SoCal_Dukie3]

First L of the ACC season boys, all good, learning experiences a plenty tonight. Hats off to some of the guys playing so many minutes.

 

[Jnood]

It was goaltending first, anyways!

 

[Dad2ze]

You think they’d notice if we put Scheyer in for Jack?

 

[kwyjibos13]

No Jones, no Reddish, refs have been awful, we have shot awful, Cuse hit about everything, and we got it to OT.

 

[tclark6]

I almost gave up but RJ gave me hope!

 

[gottagonow]

RJ misses one to tie it.. Zion misses one to win it ???? Lol

and a pissed in 3 ball bank shot.

 

[DukefanKY]

Cam gonna come off the bench and hit the winner

 

[FearTheBeard]

I know I’ll be in the minority, but I’m okay with Jack to keep shooting. Nobody was moving on offense. The only thing they’re going to get are open outside shots. White, Alex and RJ are the only three that can hit outside shots. White will eventually hit one. Just might not be tonight.

What a night

 

[K-oach Q]

It’s a shame..we could of won this..we made really bad decisions down the stretch with “who” touches the ball...

We had a lot of players play more than usual...they played hard...in the end we have to be smarter...we let this one get away even though two guys where down.....

 

[PixelDevil]

Well, this game showed what a lot of us already thought. He may not be the best player on the team, but Tre Jones is the most important.

 

[SWEc/o95]

WTH was that?

 

[ioliva]

Saddest loss I’ve seen in awhile. So disappointed in this garbage performance, dang

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

At least it wasnt by 21 with a full team

 

[wcu1113]

As I said, this had all the makings of an upset.

What a shitshow.

 

[tripleb71]

 

[K-oach Q]

That was a terrible play from Bolden In the end also...just no way to block that and leaves his guy wide open for a put back...we played dumb....

 

[Louisville Crazie]

If Tre is out Saturday I don’t like our chances.

 

[Bludvls1]

Well crap. It took a freak show shooting night for them and Duke down 2 starters.

 

[IPSYCHOSIS]

Lucky mfs man fkkkk

 

[SoCal_Dukie3]

With Tre out long term, they’ll struggle. Could be a 7 loss ACC season. There’s just no viable backup option at the 1.

 

[duke198025]

Sickening feeling. And they win because of a BS 80 foot three

 

[Neners]

And there it is. Every year. A freak game with freak circumstances. I really hope Tre is okay.

 

[FearTheBeard]

With Tre out long term, they’ll struggle. Could be a 7 loss ACC season. There’s just no viable backup option at the 1.

I think Cam would have to be an option at PG.

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Oh well! Onto the next one!

 

[Laettshow]

Well crap. It took a freak show shooting night for them and Duke down 2 starters.

Agreed. Not even mad about the loss. We fought and we will go farther than them.

 

[IPSYCHOSIS]

Congratulations you beat Duke without 2 starters, shit refs, and a lucky ass halfcourt shot

 

[K-oach Q]

Now only thing that matters is Tre’s shoulder

 

[SoCal_Dukie3]

If Tre is out Saturday I don’t like our chances.

Let’s be real, and this isn’t a post loss emotional entry either. Without Tre they’ll lose by 15.

 

[wcu1113]

Without looking, I would guess Syracuse shot well over 60%.

 

[Jnood]

I hope we play them again, and destroy them!

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

I've never seen so many lucky threes but it is what it is and the refs suck a big one

 

[Duke937]

If Tre isn’t okay we don’t do anything this year and definitely won’t do anything next year. Bc there is no point guard on the roster. But thanks to Jack and Alex. This game is on you. AWFUL.

Just be okay Tre.

 

[SoCal_Dukie3]

I think Cam would have to be an option at PG.

Perhaps but is that really a good option? I love the kid but that’ll be a pretty big reduction.

 

[AlanInNJ]

Rough night.

Next.

Let’s go Duke.

 

[FearTheBeard]

I hope we play them again, and destroy them!

I’m not sure what some of you expect. Roles were completely different without tre. And a lot was being done on the fly. Can’t fault the effort. Shoot a little better duke wins. Tre plays duke wins by close to 20.

I do think this is something O’Connell can grow from.

 

[wcu1113]

Jack 0-10 from three. JFC.

Shooters keep shooting. Jack is not a shooter.
