***DUKE VS VIRGINIA TECH - NCAA TOURNAMENT SWEET SIXTEEN OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[K-oach Q]

We really need to string something together here so that a flurry by VT doesn’t put us in a 8-10 pt hole..want to see something that gives us some defensive swagger

 

[ioliva]

Look what working the ball into drives takes us? We look amazing! Quick 3s or 5 second shots kills this team! It’s so easy to see! We’re looking great to start the half

 

[DukeDenver]

Barrett and Zion are getting body fouled all over the place. VT getting away with it.

 

[germantondevil]

Glad to see Buzz decided to let Outlaw play after his drug charge.

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

A lot better effort so far this half. Keep it up and this game is our's!!!!
OFC

 

[Mpm277]

We're going to win this game.

 

[Duke1783]

Well we have to assume he is seriously injured then!

Looks like it sadly. Good news is that we are used to playing short handed.

 

[tripleb71]

We are a few back to back stops to making a run.

 

[Lavar5150]

Well we have to assume he is seriously injured then!

Yeah K didn’t know until they arrive at arena. How serious could it be

 

[Duke1783]

We're going to win this game.

You better be telling the truth!

 

[crazyduke3]

Love the energy and fight right now. Let's go fellas. Make them play your ball, not the other way around.

 

[Duke Blu]

Just keep attacking and AOC move without the ball for the spot up. They will lose AOC with the rest attacking and scoring. AOC shots have been on line.

 

[chov1125]

Starting to trend in a better direction. Need to start getting 50/50 balls. Blackshear should not be getting all loose balls and creating such havoc in there. Fight for those balls.

 

[Dad2ze]

Keep. Attacking. Blackshear.

Attack something. The rim. Blackshear. Just attack.

 

[bluedevilfan42]

Looks like it sadly. Good news is that we are used to playing short handed.

But how does your coach have no idea of this until right before the game??

 

[Bludvls1]

Who’s going to be the one off the bench to step up with Cam being out?

 

[denverexpat]

Looks like it sadly. Good news is that we are used to playing short handed.

Weird they said K only found out before the game....that doesnt seem right somehow

 

[Fightfan1]

Coach K finally made a minor adjustment for RJ. He's clearly struggling creating for himself, so now he's screening for him up top. I never understood why K hates the pick and roll. Can you imagine RJ and Zion running a little 2 man game?

 

[VaBlueDevil33]

Cam RJ guard anyone?

 

[Bludvls1]

God almighty quit launching threes RJ.

 

[denverexpat]

doing well driving....perfect time fo an RJ 3.....SMH

 

[ioliva]

See what I mean? Quick 3 leads to nothing

 

[dbav]

Good to see that emotion from RJ.

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

RJ and one! Make your FT

 

[Louisville Crazie]

Come on!

 

[Duke Blu]

Three on black

 

[Laettner15]

Blackshear is winded! Run him!

 

[SoCal_Dukie3]

For the dumb things RJ does he makes up for it quickly

 

[PixelDevil]

RJ looking like James Harden out there, he's playing great tonight

 

[ioliva]

Work the ball in? And 1. Why doesn’t this team understand this?

 

[Bludvls1]

That’s where RJ belongs. Get in the lane. Shoot and draw fouls.

 

[Dad2ze]

Why hasn’t any slapped the floor yet. Someone. Anyone.

 

[DukeDenver]

With the refs are calling this game so frustratingly I feel like Zion and Barrett are going to get angry now.

 

[Louisville Crazie]

Get goldwire in

 

[denverexpat]

yet again...1 pt lead and some naf plays to give it back

 

[K-oach Q]

Not the game for AOC not the game

 

[Jnood]

Goldwire please!

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

RJ

 

[Duke1783]

Weird they said K only found out before the game....that doesnt seem right somehow

Yeah I know. Couldnt be that serious but who knows

 

[crazyduke3]

Alex has disappointed in the big game so far.

 

[tripleb71]

Barrett showed up. We need Zion back in the party now.
