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

[skysdad]

Guys you know me all too well. I added 10 points to Yale's score. I'm a senile old fart. OFC

A flawed roster does us in 3 rounds earlier than I predicted pre-season.

Duke 71
Yale 79

 

[HeLooks2MuchLikeDave]

I am not sure who is going to win but I don't think Duke covers the spread. 6 seems like a lot.

Lol coming from a UK fan....

 

[Dukesince90]

I predicted Marshall would inspire us in the first game. I think Ingram goes off today and Luke breaks out of his slump.

Wow, great pregame show with Johnny Dawkins, Calvin and Grant Hill!
Calvin Hill #35 for the Dallas Cowboys was my favorite player as a kid growing up.

 

[DukeSky85]

Sweet 16 here we come Duke 75 Yale 64

 

[Dukesince90]

I saw Luke in the starting lineup. I think K is going to try to get him going early, we're going to need some solid production from him to win this one.

 

[calibluedevil]

Duke will run away with it. The good guys by 13..

 

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

Oh joy, not only is Len Elmore calling our game, Chris Webber is as well. Did they go out searching for people that hate Duke to announce our game today lol

 

[dbav]

That is one terrible name for an arena.

 

[DFerryFan]

Oooo, I like hearing that Ingram might've been talking some smack. I'd like to see him go beast mode in this game.

They are not a factor. OFC

 

[Crank_it_loud]

D picking up where it left off...,

 

[dbav]

Nice to see Kennard sink one early.

 

[skysdad]

Ok 1st media time out. Yale is getting easy baskets. Can't let that happen. Tell them Coach K. OFC

 

[Dukesince90]

It's hard to play great D when you're concerned about foul trouble. We should be use to this by now.

 

[dukiejay]

Yeah, the defense is almost by design. To build a lead in the first half we will need Yale to go ice cold.

 

[DiehardDukeFan4Life]

They are not a factor. OFC

I agree, it's just that it's bad enough that they gave us Elmore then they've gotta add Webber in as well for double the annoyance lol

 

[DFerryFan]

Come on, I thought that was good D by Thornton

 

[dukiejay]

The defense doesn't concern me as much as the lack of rebounding.

 

[dbav]

Kennard came to play.

 

[DukeSky85]

LUUUUUUKE

 

[dukiejay]

Somebody woke up Luke!

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Luke came ready to play. Hope he stays hot!!

 

[skysdad]

Good job on both ends by Luke. OFC

 

[DukeSky85]

feeling it!!!!

 

[dbav]

Nice finish by Thornton.

 

[DukeRulesBasketball]

Nice play by Thornton

 

[skysdad]

Garbage baskets. OFC

 

[Crank_it_loud]

O looks good

 

[DFerryFan]

What is Matt Jones doing?

 

[Crank_it_loud]

Is it wrong that I'm happy Matt has 2 fouls?

 

[Showenuff]

Cmon Matt, pull your head out son.

 

[pisgah101]

Matt does a lot of stupid stuff. On both sides of the ball. His job needs to be play D shoot spot up 3s only if completely open

 

[Dukesince90]

Coach K knows! Nice giving Luke the starting nod, he has responded.

 

[dukiejay]

Good four-minute segment there.

Three of Yale's FGs so far have come off second chance points. We need to clean that up.

We're not going to shoot like this for 40 minutes....so take advantage while you can.

 

[dukiejay]

Is it wrong that I'm happy Matt has 2 fouls?

Yes. We have no depth.

Matt has to be smarter there. It's one thing to foul, but another when you pick up a stupid, pointless one.

 

[Baller224]

Matt's play is making me cringe
