***NCAA TOURNAMENT 1ST ROUND - DUKE VS UNC WILMINGTON OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[crazyduke3]

Ft's and no defense... Sheesh

 

[skysdad]

I'm at the point to where I don't want to see Duke at the free throw line. OFC

 

[DFerryFan]

How is that not a foul on Luke but then a foul on Ingram. That was a clean block.

 

[K-oach Q]

Similar feel to Lehigh and Mercer....we have to defend better.

 

[GabeM1234]

Concerned, scary.

 

[skysdad]

The longer UNCW stays in the game the more we are going to have a Lehigh/Mercer game. Another 3. OFC

 

[DukeDenver]

Len Elmore and Webber? Stfu with the foul call analysis. Morons.

 

[crazyduke3]

The ref crying is going to drive me insane

 

[wcu1113]

They are making ridiculous shots.

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

They can't miss and playing tight D

 

[carlsondevil]

Fleming with a fall away. Wow.

 

[youngman42]

So, either Duke's players are just not very smart or they just aren't taught to pick up a player and box out when a shot goes up. This is the MO for this team and it has often been a weakness for Duke. When a shot goes up, they don't box out players, they go to the rim and watch the ball. Just really poor fundamentals.

 

[Dukiegurl12]

Did we show up?

 

[DFerryFan]

I hope this isn't going to be the trend:
Have a spectacular team every 3-5 years but lose in the first weekend all the other times.

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

Yep let em hang and everything will fall

For anybody doubting what kind of deep Sh$t were in...... think again!!!

 

[K-oach Q]

The longer UNCW stays in the game the more we are going to have a Lehigh/Mercer game. Another 3. OFC

Absolutely true!

We have given them spirit...we are in for an extremely difficult second half.

 

[youngman42]

That was a big 3. Two big 3s actually.

 

[carlsondevil]

Ingram is the truth.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

HUGE 3 by Brandon!!!

 

[dbav]

I trust K to make adjustments.

 

[MyDudeG]

HUGE shot by Ingram. Way to bring some of their momentum down!

 

[barkingpumpkin]

That halftime talk is going to be interesting.

 

[HuffyJB]

The last two shots UNCW hit were just ridiculous. That does not bode well, the shooting our their minds thing.

 

[chov1125]

Shots will even out but we need to stay engaged and force tough shots. The early shots were easy shots and they built a ton of confidence which led to making the late tough shots. If we keep forcing tough shots it will even out

 

[dbav]

Nice to see one go through for Kennard earlier. Hopefully that gets hime going.

 

[bluedevilfan42]

I may have to drink on my lunch break.

 

[MyDudeG]

The defense we're going against is tenacious. I trust that Coach will make the necessary adjustments going into the second half though.

 

[gottagonow]

UNC-W playing as good as a team can play and us, not so well.

 

[BOOGIEMAN1914]

gotta refocus and get it together....c'mon guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DukeSky85]

Alright time to wake up..Need a big 2nd half and step up the Defense

 

[sheyduke]

This is scary UNC Wilmington is way more athletic then I thought and Duke can't get no jump shots to fall

 

[DukeDenver]

I'm hitting mute now. Freaking jealous hacks commentating. I guess they still feel inferior.

 

[Showenuff]

We're gonna win this, settle down.

 

[skysdad]

That 3 by Ingram was great but we gave them the basket right before. Coach K's got to get it through to our guys that UNCW not only came to play but beat Duke. I feel confident they will get the message no matter how Coach K delivers it in the locker room. OFC

 

[strummingram]

Never fear... the refs are building a huge parachute for your lackluster team.

 

[dbav]

I may have to drink on my lunch break.

Wait, you're in the legal field and don't already?

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Man I'm sweating bullets right now!

 

[duhondukie]

They are defending our sets very well and not letting us get open looks at the 3 point line.
Also, I don't understand how they are out rebounding us on the offensive end. You can go rebound standing underneath the rim, the only way you will grab it is if it goes thru the net!

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

We're lucky not to be down 6 or 7 so I feel pretty good...all things considered. I'm Captain Obvious, but we need a good start to the 2nd half.

OFC

 

[Dukiegurl12]

We are not playing good "D". We got to get Grayson and Kennard hitting some shots in the second half. Ingram can't win it by himself. Hopefully Coack K will make some adjustments. Let's go Duke!
