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

[JCColsCane]

Love to see the kids locked in for this game, but they are young, and very tired. I spoke with "K" and he agreed with me that if the kids bring the "D" tonight, he will give them tomorrow off.
So there you have it, the kids will bring the "D" and Duke will find the energy to get this one, and get tomorrow off!

Go Duke!

Looks like I may be the minority but I feel a game similar to the Michigan St game. I feel we will control this game from the tip.

Duke

 

[timo0402]

Duke 71
VT- 68

should be a game where patience from fans is required. I’m sure you will all remember that in the following pages.

Little levity before the storm

 

[Laettner15]

interesting

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

I think we win a close one!

Duke: 71
Va Tech: 64

Let’s go Duke!!

 

[YNWA196]

Cassius is starting!!

 

[timo0402]

Cassius is starting!!

Yessir!!

 

[PixelDevil]

Crazy he’s back already, this is really good news

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

It is amazing the ACCN does not have volleyball or soccer on before our game!! We won't need to start on ESPNEWS tonight for a change!!!!
OFC

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Cassius is in the starting lineup

 

[skysdad]

It's about game time. Start strong, stay strong, finish strong. Don't let them in the game at all. OFC

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Three by Jack!

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

Way to Jack, hope that's what we see from him tonight,!!!!
OFC

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

I've just had a feeling all day this was gonna be one of those let down games.

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

Very shaky start, we need to settle down!!!
OFC

 

[duhondukie]

Sluggish start. Come on fellas

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Jack with a big dunk!

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

They are collapsing 2 and sometime 3 on Carey everytime he touches the ball.
OFC

 

[Mpm277]

There is definitely a theme with recent Duke teams. Unless we're in transition, we can't score

 

[dukehokie]

Sluggish start. Come on fellas

Honestly I don’t think Duke has been sluggish. They’ve forced Tech into some difficult shots, but Tech has hit them.

Duke has to get some easier buckets that’s all.

 

[retiredsoldier]

Somebody better tell Va Tech there's a lot of time left so they may want to temper all the jumping around after a made shot. Wait to Duke get adjusted to what they are doing with the double and triple-teaming of Vern.

Carey has to face the double team.

Gotta see the cutters.

 

[LetsGoDuke83]

Just settling for 3s right now

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Like seeing Goldwire making shots.

 

[Mpm277]

Goldwire with two threes

 

[Eruditio-et-religio]

Wendell Moore is inconceivably bad. Literally puts in the least effort of any Duke player ever. He makes Cam Reddish look like he has Zion's motor.

 

[catdaddy48]

Listening to Corey Alexander is for the birds

 

[AlanInNJ]

Weather the storm. Stay close. VT using way too much energy right now. Duke owns the second half.

 

[dukehokie]

I’ve been a big Wendell supporter and I can’t argue with you. That display on that fast break had better be his low point on this season. Zero effort shown there.

 

[Fourteen44]

Is Corey Alexander a closet Tech fan?

Wow.

 

[Mpm277]

When's the last time we had a guy who could put the ball on the floor and take a defender?

 

[HeelsShmeels]

Paint not open in the regular offense. Easy to score after an offensive rebound though. Guess Duke has to hit enough standstill wide open 3’s to make them come out.

 

[Blueline Devil]

VT came out throwing throwing everything they got and we've weathered the storm and right in it. Keep it close for the rest of half and take over in second half

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

There we go!

 

[JohnstonCDevil]

I believe we are starting to settle into this game! Let's close this half out strong!!!!
OFC

 

[Fourteen44]

Can someone help me here? When they double team and Carey catches the ball, isn’t that a cylinder foul? I mean they’re literally hanging on him.....

 

[K-oach Q]

Fought tough and playing the last minute like complete crap..errr
