My bad had an error loading messages on my end. Still stand by what I’ve said. He’s been REALLY bad this past month
Thank goodness roach turned up. We would’ve lost without his play today
Yea he’s definitely struggling as of late. The talent is there, I wonder if he’s wearing down....
J Roach played really well. This team is so much better when he's playing to his potential. Great road W.
This team is an enigma....our #1 draft choice goes 2-13...our absentee PG goes 6-7, and our "leader" goes 1-3 with 4 pts....yet we win. I really dont know what to make of this team as the consistency from game to game isnt there...but we find a way to win most of the time. Great road win even though Clark looked like a 1st round pick yet again!
Virginia is playing their best ball of the year. We took probably their best shot. Banchero and Moore combined to score 12 points and Duke still wins in one of the toughest environments to play in at JPJ arena. I'll take it.
24-4 overall & 14-3 in the conference. We've won our last two close games after everyone bitched that we couldn't win close games. Again, I'll take it.
Are there things to be concerned about? Yep. But every single top 15 team has concerns. This team has three games left and can potentially win the ACC regular season for the first time in 12 years. Let's see what happens.

Thank goodness for Roach and Griffin. The shots by Griffin weren't the best as I was screaming at my TV but they went in. I really liked that we finally went directly at Clark at the end. Good win but Paolo has to play better at some point.
We are finding ways to win, which is good. This team makes me very nervous though going forward. We are winning, but the red flags are there. I will focus on the win. Whoos house? Our house.
As much crap as this kid has taken all year from this fanbase, I better see some HIGH praise coming from those same fans
Jeremy was a man on a mission tonight. I don't understand the hate this kid receives.
He and AJ really stepped up tonight! Duke is learning how to win close games late in the season after losing close games earlier. We still have some stuff to clean up and how we play at Syracuse after this gritty win will tell us a lot.
I don’t understand the hate PB doesn’t receive 😂 Mannn it’s hard to likem
PB isnt THE guy imo. Hes not who I want with the ball in his hands In crunch time. Problem is idk who to replace him with 😂 Solution- don’t get in those situations.
Roach had a good shooting night....but zero assists for a PG....his last 6 games shooting stats before tonight are below;
0-2, 4-7, 1-7, 1-5, 2-5, 3-5
One game does not a hero make, but tonight was his night, we needed his production as our other scorers didnt show up so kudos to him. This emphasizes our issue....on any given night we have no idea who will turn up or not...we have zero consistency and identity. We could put 6 games together come the tournament and win it all or we could not show up in the 1st round and get beaten...either is a possibility
0-2, 4-7, 1-7, 1-5, 2-5, 3-5

I think Banchero is concussed from hitting the freshman wall. He's a great kid and competitor. My hope is he finds himself by March.
He really doesn’t have an identity. Or living up to his perceived identity. We'll see
I hate it when he takes those early in the shot clock jumpers. Griffin has earned that right. Banchero needs to drive and post up. His mid range is much better than his paltry 29% from 3. I love the kid's game and I still believe he'll show up when it counts in March. Or I hope so.
It makes no sense at all. Roach is a very good ball player.
Comon no one hates Roach. But when he doesn't score for multiple games people are going to point that out. He had a great game but probably his first good game since Keels came back. If anything tonight proves what he is capable of. I just read Wake lost to Clemson. Ouch. Notre Dame beats Syracuse.

He makes one every now and then lol. During a time when it’s not necessarily a need a bucket time. Tbh I hate his game 😂 It doesn’t much benefit the team in CBB. I’d trust Keels I guess in a need a bucket moment over everybody else. He’s made those shots from 3 and he can bully his way to the basket like no other . Now can he hit the FT idkkkkk😂 It’s a fun season
I don’t understand the hate any of our players receive.
You’re so sensitive all of a sudden. Did the other board kick you out?
Cus he’s had a lot of crappy games especially on defense. Does that clarify things for you?
Depends. K is a master motivator. He understands how to motivate different types of personalities.
Seriously, but I remember when I had my first beer.
The other board is fine. This is where the a-holes post shite about teenagers.
Our only games left are Syracuse, Pitt and North Carolina. We should be able to win out, although the Tar Heels will come to play and try to ruin K's last home game. Plus they are on the bubble and REALLY need a top 10 win. But we will be heavy favorites in all 3.
Like I said before, we'll really see how good Roach is next year. He'll be the most senior and there will be no one looking over his shoulder. Everything will literally be on him being a leader and I hope he's up to the challenge.
