***DUKE VS VIRGINIA OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

Oh well

 

[wcu1113]

No pride on the defensive end.

 

[NYBlueDevil]

Theiy're playing like a bunch of stiffs

 

[DukeCE2006]

Our offense is more out of sync I feel. Our shots seem forced and are difficult.

 

[Mpm277]

At least our defense is looking pretty good right now.

 

[MyDudeG]

Matt with some huge defensive plays! We're gaining rhythm from the 3 point line as well.

 

[dbav]

Matt Jones is playing very well in my opinion.

 

[dbav]

Jones may play 40 minutes tonight.

 

[dukiejay]

Good answer and comeback. Matt setting the tone on the defensive end. Like that turnaround in the lane from Harry.

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Impressed with defense by Matt Jones so far!

 

[Jnood]

Matt jones is the player of the game, so far!

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Matt's defense has woke our offense up...we are ok now after a terrible start

 

[DukeCE2006]

We settled down, playing much better and taking better shots. I like Giles creating down low, why not try that more often.

 

[Mpm277]

Giles made that turn around look like he does it routinely.

 

[denverexpat]

seems like we always get called for over the back yet we dont get that call on our end

 

[dukiejay]

I do like Doug Collins calling games.

 

[Jnood]

Side show bob, with the air ball.

 

[Mpm277]

Giles hungry for the ball but can't get in good position.

 

[dukephysics]

Live stream!?

 

[dukiejay]

Hard not to be pretty pleased right now after the slow start. The defense is still good we just need to cut back on careless turnovers and bad possessions. But it should be noted that's also caused by the great uva defense.

 

[ioliva]

pass the ball to bolden hes getting after it

 

[dukiejay]

Gotta get Bolden the ball on that possession.

 

[MyDudeG]

Wow Luke NEEDS to see that pass to Bolden. Had a guard on him in great position. Give him the damn ball after that great defensive play.

 

[germantondevil]

Why aren't they feeding Bolden he had 2 mismatches and was demanding the ball

 

[wcu1113]

Grayson forcing way too much.

 

[Jnood]

We aren't going to get any hel from the refs!

 

[DukeCE2006]

Points are a premium on both ends.

 

[Mpm277]

We're not wanting to throw the ball inside to anyone

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Every time uva does a hedge they bump the crap out of the ball handler and nothing behind called

Their D is good but when they are allowed to get away with that it makes it even better

 

[HeLooks2MuchLikeDave]

Please just throw it down low. We have 3 capable big guys who can get easy buckets. Pleaseee

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

I was also pissed Bolden didn't get that ball. The kid has a motor! Gotta grind vs uva, just hang in and make some deep balls

 

[duhondukie]

Shot selection is awful

 

[gottagonow]

Offense is a bit off wouldn't you say. The score looks like a Dean Smith 4 corners game.

 

[Baller224]

Amile with 3... that hurts

 

[DukeCE2006]

Another moving screen! And 3 on Jefferson. Ughh

 

[Dad2ze]

I don't know why Tatum didn't take that to the rack

 

[ioliva]

why is jefferson always getting in foul trouble. Dude needs to act like a veteran guy that shouldn't be happening

 

[denverexpat]

first to 50 - i hate these games - unless we are first to 50

 

[germantondevil]

Glad to see NC State is playing a lot better there only down by 30 or close to it

 

[HeLooks2MuchLikeDave]

Were better than these guys
