DUKE VS VIRGINIA TECH OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

Somewhat odd to me we've decided to go small..... Also thinking we may need some zone here. Getting exposed at the moment
Not surprised, just blowing off steam!! I know it happens a lot, that's what I am talking about. Can't believe going to miss the whole first half!!
Duke has blown a big lead and only up 26-25. Hate it when I can't see what's going on!
Go Duke!!

No discussion of Amile, assumin went small as we came pressing and tech is small. Hasn't payed off at the moment in my eyes. They are getting some boards they shouldn't and Matt getting beat off bounce
It's a good thing we're scoring well, because we can't stop VT. They've hit four 3's, and they're getting to the rim at will. It's 33- 29 Duke with 4:13 remaining in the half. Going to have to get some stops.

This defense is not FF caliber. Has to get better if they are going to have a chance. Its sad but they couldn't keep by grandmother in front of them. Hoping for the best though!
We're not defending or playing with any emotion. Thank god Jahlil was able to play. He's the only one doing anything.
Painful game to watch thus far. Hopefully, K can light a fire at half time. Maybe suggest they come out and play some form of defense in the second half.
They're not having trouble based on figuring it out they're just doing what they're told too. Okafor's the only one looking for 2 point buckets with the rest of the guys out there only looking to shoot 3's. Not one cut has been attempted. I hate when our team is told to play like this, it's almost a set up for failure if buckets don't fall.
Man, Grayson was really in the flow of the game then rolled his ankle. Okafor looks good but we can't adjust to having him back. There is a little hang up in the flow with him in there. Got to loosen up and play some damn defense this half.
Down 39-37 at the half. VT shooting almost 70% for the half. Finally, game over, can now watch ours after half - maybe we can bring them some luck!!
Go Duke!!

I think we'll be alright, but I just hate when we play like this against teams who have no business hanging around with us.
Those of you that missed the first half were lucky. It's been painful to watch our lack of defensive play. Hopefully we can force some missed shots and get our transition game going this 2nd half.
This is simply a product of being in a polar opposite mindset without Jah last game, and being ultra aggressive and now they don't know if they should be aggressive or just give it to Jah and wait for a pass out for 3.
We've got to play like the Duke team that we've become over this winning streak....just play boys!

I know K is obsessed with this extended m2m defense 40ft from the hoop, but if I never saw us play it again I would be ecstatic... There's just no reason to guard that far from the hoop. You get beat and suddenly its 5 on 4
