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

[DukefanKY]

You have never heard me say that pal...don't put words in my mouth

Oh I didn’t mean it that way! Not towards you for sure!!

 

[duhondukie]

I will take it for as poorly as we have played.

 

[ioliva]

I don’t know about you guys but I really liked the ball movement in this half. Very minimal hero ball bs. Just have to convert

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

What a ugly half!! At least we are tied.
OFC

 

[Buzzooka Joe]

25 points at the half.. looks like we are playing their game.

 

[Blueline Devil]

Sounds like a repeat of what I said last game and hopefully a different outcome.

0-0. Let's come out and win the second half!!!

 

[denverexpat]

we had 18 with 8 mins left in the half...7 the rest of the half. Got to be more efficient on offense to stretch UVA. This is their pace and comfort zone. Hurt/Moore/Stanley have zero points between them...and they started the game. Clark with 0 is great, didnt expect Huff to be an all- american but it always happens!

 

[dbav]

We're gonna win this game.

 

[tripleb71]

Blessing to be tied. Hopefully the GOAT has something he can draw up to get us out of here with a W

 

[LONMUNU]

Carey and Jones have 17 of the 25. They need help.

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Oh I didn’t mean it that way! Not towards you for sure!!

Ok sorry

 

[duhondukie]

We're gonna win this game.

Hope so, we need something Out of Hurt or Stanley

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

I think we are in good shape...we can't play much worse

 

[BlueDaveil]

I’m happy being tied. Vernon logged 9 min. Hopefully he can stay in the game in the second half without having to avoid fouling and giving them a layup line.

 

[duhondukie]

 

[skysdad]

Well we played UVA's game the 1st half. Now let's make them play Duke's game the second half. OFC

 

[Blueline Devil]

If Vern can stay on the court and not pick up cheap fouls we'll get a W

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Glad to be tied at the half considering the scoring drought we went through. Need to speed this game up a little and get some easy points...of course against Virginia that's easier said than done.

OFC

 

[Buzzooka Joe]

Stanley, Hurt, & Moore have combined for 0 points, 1 rebound, & 1 assist.. they combined for 11 points in our loss to N.C. State.. if these boys think they’re going to get playing time in the NBA, they need to start stepping up.

 

[germantondevil]

They are still showing Duke on the two line but they have to win today. There is no way Duke is a two seed if they lose today. 3 losses in 4 games to non ranked teams. They lose today and they easily fall in that 4 to 5 seed. But a huge road win today at a tough UVA arena then you start thinking 2 seed.

 

[Hurley22]

Stanley, Hurt, & Moore have combined for 0 points, 1 rebound, & 1 assist.. they combined for 11 points in our loss to N.C. State.. if these boys think they’re going to get playing time in the NBA, they need to start stepping up.

One of them or Baker need to have a big second half.

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

We differently need somebody not named Jones or Carey to step up in the second. If we don't we could be in trouble!! Come on boys, somebody get hot!!!
OFC

 

[LONMUNU]

Not taking a jab at Javin but he can’t be our 3rd leading scorer.

 

[denverexpat]

One of them or Baker need to have a big second half.

it would be nice to get a consistent double digit production from 2 of the 3 on a regular basis. This half would be nice! first to 60 wins this one

 

[DukeDenver]

Hopefully Coach K exploits their auto double-team on Carey. Have 4 guys ready to shoot and tell Carey to find the open man

 

[germantondevil]

Good thing is Duke played better defense as well. They need to keep that intensity on defense and a 3rd scorer show up

 

[Louisville Crazie]

Strong take by javin

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Uva swarming Carey

 

[Louisville Crazie]

Then javin misses the dunk... jeez

 

[PixelDevil]

Jesus Javin

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Jav come on man

 

[LetsGoDuke83]

And javin just destroyed the momentum

 

[ioliva]

You have to feel bad for delaurier no matter how many good plays he gets he can’t shake off those really bad ones

 

[LONMUNU]

Well we know Stanley can dunk

 

[PixelDevil]

Javin, take notes

 

[germantondevil]

Thanks Cassius for showing Javin how it’s done

 

[Louisville Crazie]

Speeding them up

 

[LONMUNU]

Big Vern said that’s my ball!

 

[Hurley22]

Let's go boys...keep working. Smack the floor and play some D.

 

[denverexpat]

Wonder if we could post Stanley up against a smaller player in the post? He can jump out of the gym...could be a good match up if we can get that switch
