***NCAA TOURNAMENT 2ND ROUND - DUKE VS YALE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[krzyzewskiville]

I love our draw here in the second round. Yale plays smart and Yale plays fundamental basketball. They move the ball exceptionally and we've got to disrupt their post feeds.Playing fast may be the key to getting Yale to play our game.

It's certainly going to be an exciting game - one in which Duke will have more talent in. If we hit shots and take care of the basketball Duke comes out ahead in this one.

Game is slated to air on CBS HD at 2:30pm

Duke 74

Yale 62

GO DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a good match up for Duke, and Yale also happens to have a short bench just as we do. I believe Yale will be outmatched in this one...

Need to keep their PG in check!

 

[LetsGoDuke301]

I don't care what the conspiracy folks will say. I am just excited to see this team get a good opportunity to advance to the sweet sixteen.

 

[Laettner15]

Survive and Advance!!!! I'll be missing this one unfortunately! Rebounding will be key!

Duke - 80
Yale -72

 

[K-oach Q]

I predict this will be a low scoring game, but Duke gets the win..

Duke: 18
Yale: 12

Grayson leads Duke with 8 points

First Duke/Yale game on ESPNU now.

Let's get it boys

 

[smashmouth5]

Forgot how much zone Duke played in the first game. Tide of that game really changed when they became more aggressive in attacking the basket. Amile is going to be so good next year.

I think you might be thinking of today's UVA/Butler game.

I'm thinking the same thing! Play Duke ball and we have a VERY good year. Today's going to be a great day of basketball!

Really hoping for a good game from Marshal and Luke to re-discover his touch.

 

[HuffyJB]

Gotta rebound and control Mason. He exploded against Baylor.
Duke - 80
Yale - 74

Chase scores in double figures for the first time. OFC

 

[Showenuff]

aaaaaah, Yale players talking some trash this morning, I like it.

 

[Crank_it_loud]

Keep forgetting Jack Montague won't be in this game as he was dismissed for alleged sexual assault. That hurts Yale for sure.

 

[Crank_it_loud]

aaaaaah, Yale players talking some trash this morning, I like it.

Are they? Is it online? I gotta see that!

WTF?!! No way Yale scores 87.

 

[Dukesince90]

I think Skysdad bumped his head.
Duke wins 86-76

 

[KellenPatrick]

77-70, Duke.

 

[pisgah101]

@skysdad has never picked against Duke. Gotta be a joke

 

[dbav]

Nice to see Barkley say such nice things about Dawkins.

 

[Baller224]

aaaaaah, Yale players talking some trash this morning, I like it.

Are you talking about the comment Sears made?
"We out rebounded Baylor, one of the strongest rebounding teams in the country so if we're going against a weaker front line like this, I think we can take advantage of that."

[JCColsCane]

Yale gained a lot of confidence by outrebounding Baylor. They will be crashing the boards on us, and the PG will really give Matt's ankle a workout today (hope he holds up).
If we come to play and the kids are on the same page, talking on defense, and aggressive on offense, Duke will survive and advance.
Go Duke!!

It'll be a tough game, but I think Duke will prevail.

Yeah, I think Sky got his scores backwards...'cause he never picks against Duke.

OFC

 

[madrussian]

The 3's just don't fall today

Yale's true PG controls game and wins a close one.
