***DUKE VS TEXAS OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Our defense and FT shooting is terrible right now! Geez!

 

[SoCal_Dukie3]

I love this team and they'll do great things, I just don't see them pulling this one out. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[gottagonow]

Our run is coming. We tie the game they'll fall all to shit.

Show dammit you better be right!

 

[denverexpat]

Our run is coming. We tie the game they'll fall all to shit.

That would require a modicum of defense on consecutive possessions....let's hope

 

[LetsGoDuke301]

It's all me me me basketball right now. Our defense is stepping up and our offense has no team mentality.

 

[PixelDevil]

Marques is really rolling the dice by clapping like that

 

[Dad2ze]

So we can’t block anymore?

 

[germantondevil]

There’s the run just the wrong team

 

[jamsession3]

Big men playing soft...

 

[LetsGoDuke301]

Me me me me

 

[PixelDevil]

sigh

 

[LetsGoDuke301]

Everybody wants to make a highlight play. Nobody wants to win.

 

[Mpm277]

Eh, I'm losing hope for this game. This loss was three games coming, it feels like.

 

[SoCal_Dukie3]

Hope they keep it under 20....

 

[PixelDevil]

at least we lasted longer than 2 weeks at # 1 this year.

 

[K-oach Q]

Yep all that work...gone in a flash...not going to be our night...

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Not feeling good about getting a W tonight

 

[Dad2ze]

Bamba on the bench and we can’t even hit an inside shot smh!!!

 

[Tross282003]

We are getting killed by Texas

 

[Showenuff]

Still time.

 

[Lavar5150]

Bolden is a waste of time. K sits Jav and Alex who seem to play with energy enabling bigs who could care less about d and get interested only when they have the ball

 

[BlueDevils725]

This is 100% a loss. We look like we don't care. Texas is flat out embarassing us.

 

[duhondukie]

Man, this is so frustrating to watch

 

[K-oach Q]

So disappointed in our continual defensive philosophy every year...which is beyond ignorant...

 

[germantondevil]

This group is toast for this holiday tournament

 

[sheyduke]

We have made the last three teams Duke has played looked like good teams.

Texas has turned this game into a highlight real game.

 

[Laettner]

K is already planning weekend of practice as this mail in job proceeds.

 

[dukecorey]

Same team different year, why so many letdown games? No motivation from them. Sadly you don’t see UNC playing like this. Guess that’s why upperclassmen are very important and why Duke will continue having this issue. Very disappointed

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

It looks bleak at the moment, but don't give up yet.

OFC

 

[denverexpat]

2015 team struggled with defense until they eventually bought in..maybe it takes a loss of two to get this group to do the same

 

[Jakarii]

Texas making a run without Bamba. Not having a bunch of shooters for the first time I years is hurting Duke

 

[PixelDevil]

2015 team struggled with defense until they eventually bought in..maybe it takes a loss of two to get this group to do the same

maybe a 20 point loss to unranked Texas will do it

 

[Dad2ze]

If we can’t box out we can’t win

 

[Jnood]

I should probably stop watching..

 

[K-oach Q]

Seriously it’s a highlight real play after play....

 

[K-oach Q]

Allen has to go video game hot for us...

 

[Tross282003]

Get bolden out of the game.

 

[jamsession3]

Our Bigs are not effective...however, Bamba has 4 fouls...let's pick it up

 

[KellenPatrick]

I should probably stop watching..

I did a while ago. Just keep flipping back every 10 minutes or so hoping I will be pleasantly surprised. Hasn't happened.

 

[dukecorey]

I see similar problem as in years past. Duke’s defense is a major problem. Been exposed the last three games. They just aren’t a great team. Still time but need to make some major adjustments.

 

[denverexpat]

The schedule hasnt been easy either - these are 18 yo kids...playing games with few days rest or practice AND flying around the country - coast to coast in this case and back to back..at some point that has to be a factor mentally and physically.
