***DUKE VS UTAH SWEET SIXTEEN OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[Lil' Hurley]

Take the ball to the rim. Then...take the ball to the rim again. Repeat as necessary.

 

[JCColsCane]

Well, it's time, let's do this!!!
Go Duke!!

[OldasdirtDevil]

It's very physical.

OFC

 

[dbav]

So this is all pretty ugly.

 

[Lil' Hurley]

I don't know why they play games in buildings like this. This is ugly.

 

[GTHC_ GTH!]

Too much one on one right now on offense. Forcing shots. The one time they got it to Oak, he scored. Slow down, take a breath and execute. It is HARD TO SHOOT IN THIS PLACE. Go inside

 

[dbav]

Amile is looking great right now. He and Grayson have provided a nice spark. I like K pulling the starters out in shifts to calm them down.

 

[Lil' Hurley]

That three by Winslow might get them going a little. I like our D so far, but we need to finish with a defensive rebound.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Justise with a big 3, and Amile cleans up his own miss off a nice pass from Jah.

OFC

 

[The Right Blue]

It's ugly in that not all games this weekend will be played in stadiums. How is that fair? Either way, rebound or go home

 

[dbav]

Winslow has been terrific defensively.

 

[Kobe #1]

A Winslow like this is tough for Duke to lose!

This shooting is tough to watch... Love the effort

 

[The Right Blue]

Rebound or go home. You cannot win if the other team is doubling you up on shots.

 

[Showenuff]

Defense is solid, offensively, we gotta wake up.

 

[K-oach Q]

Yeah so far I fell like we are playing Utahs game. I don't like the feel of this one so far...that said we are up four.

 

[Kobe #1]

Both teams playin tough D, this is going to be an ugly game.... Our freshman just need to hang in there!

 

[dbav]

Someone other than Winslow has to make a contribution. Grayson is stepping it up but we need more.

 

[barkingpumpkin]

Man, Utah is fouling like crazy

 

[K-oach Q]

That was a weak foul call on Wright but if they call the over the back on Winslow that doesn't happen. I'm not sad!

 

[uwgbluedevil]

Huge call against Utah with Wright's 3rd foul.

Okafor really needs to process the double team faster

 

[Kobe #1]

Good to see tyus make his FT's, hopefully he can make a few jumpers

I thought the exact same thing.

 

[bluedevilfan42]

Yes siree. Great intensity the last few possessions.

Yeah, he got mugged.

 

[Lil' Hurley]

First tv TO: up 1
Second TV TO: up 2
Third TV TO: up 4
Fourth TV TO: up 8

Just keep grinding!!!!!!

 

[K-oach Q]

This is a huge opportunity to close the half strong with Wright on the bench and give ourselves room going into the half! Take advantage!!!

I agree. If they call the over the back call, like they should have, Wright doesn't get the foul.

OFC

 

[dbav]

I love what Grayson has provided. Proud of that kid.

 

[dukiejay]

Chance to make a run here the last four minutes.

 

[Showenuff]

Ugly game. We will shoot way better in the second.

 

[dbav]

The loss of Wright and subsequent press has really hurt Utah.

Sky must have sent a certified check for this game

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

Utah has committed a foul on every defensive poses sion and the refs miss it

 

[pisgah101]

Awful call on Jah wow

 

[Kobe #1]

Just need to finish the half, good timeout!

 

[The Right Blue]

Rebounds are the only thing keeping this from being a 15 pt lead. Blown opportunity in his half. BTW, Winslow is amazing

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

I was clamoring for K to take Jah out after he got the 1st foul with only 2 minutes to go...that hurt getting the 2nd right there.

 

[carlsondevil]

Looks like Oak had all ball. Bad call.

 

[Showenuff]

We aren't shooting the ball comfortably at all. Need to relax and shoot.

 

[K-oach Q]

Not a good close to this half that's disappointing and could be a huge factor.
