***DUKE VS TROY NCAA 2ND RD OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[Guy Smiley]

82-50. It just has a nice ring to it.

 

[bluedevilfan42]

I'm worried about coming out of the gate slow but think we'll find our way and rhythm in the 2nd half. I've never ever predicted a score on here before so I'm sure as hell not going to start today. We win - period.

 

[Mpm277]

It seems like a lot of the 1 and 2 seeds have started slow and focused up in the second half. I'd like us to come out hot from the start, but I'll take a win any way we can get it.

Bad news: the shirt I wore when Duke beat Gonazaga in 2015, UNC last Friday, and when the Miami Heat drafted Justice Winslow, is dirty!!

If we lose tonight I take all the blame.

I don't understand why you're not wearing it or why it would have been washed in the first place. Get your life together.

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

I wore the same hoodie as all last weekend

 

[DukeDenver]

Let's get fired up.

 

[dbav]

Chris Webber has already commented more on this game than he die the Fab 5 special.

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

It all starts NOW

 

[dbav]

That's a good start.

 

[DukeSky85]

Sights on Six! Let's do this!

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Chris Webber is terrible

 

[dbav]

Matt Jones came to play.

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

I love seeing matt hit a shot early

 

[MyDudeG]

Great start! Agreed with the Chris Webber perception. He's legitimately my least favorite commentator to listen to.

 

[DukeSky85]

Ahhhhh yeeaaahhhh

 

[Mpm277]

Jayson, Luke, Matt, and Frank all with a three already.

 

[IPSYCHOSIS]

Hope we don't give our best performance the first round lol ...was hoping to save it lol

 

[pisgah101]

So far exactly what we need. If Matt becomes even a slight threat we roll through this tourney

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Nice start. And Matt making a 3 is a great sign, which is on the heels of making the huge 3 in the ACCT championship.

Matt's swagger is at peak levels. When he deflected that ball earlier he let out a woo.

 

[dbav]

At this rate we can rest Grayson the whole game.

 

[IPSYCHOSIS]

Jackson is gonna be a beast next year ...please don't go pro lol

 

[DukeDenver]

Who was the oldest coach to win a title?

 

[Mpm277]

If Matt is hitting from the arc, our offense will be nearly impossible to guard.

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Great start! Agreed with the Chris Webber perception. He's legitimately my least favorite commentator to listen to.

He is awful but I would take him over Walton or Vitale any day of the week

 

[Mpm277]

Super unselfish play by Grayson there!

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

Yeaaaaaaah Matt

 

[Mpm277]

Matt being aggressive!

 

[wcu1113]

Great sign that Matt is shooting well. Love the unselfish basketball.

 

[QC Dukie]

Matt needs to stop shooting

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Wow...Matty Ice. Hard to beat us if he plays this well.

OFC

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

Matt has been sandbagging, shame on you Matt

 

[hart2chesson]

Matt's going GONZAGA!!!!

OFC

 

[Mpm277]

Matt with 11 points already.

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

I love our start so far. Just need to step on him and not let up. Keep playing like the score is tied.

 

[pisgah101]

Matt has been sandbagging, shame in you Matt

Haha that's what we were just talking about. He's held it in for this moment

 

[Dukesince90]

Matt needs to stop shooting

Yeah, where's the guy that always says "Matt don't shoot!"

 

[dbav]

By the way, great choice of venue. That was a great piece on how they are at I'll trying to fix the floor.

 

[K-oach Q]

They just have to get to the Final Four! I got us the rest of the way from there!

Last two finals fours I've worn my Duke Sweatshirt I bought in 2010 at a game in Cameron...that with a case of Budlight which I hate have pulled us through in 2010 so I did everything the same in 2015....even the case of Budlight which I can't stand for the Final Four and the NC games both times...the sweatshirt and beer combo has some kinda magical super power...
