***NCAA TOURNAMENT SWEET SIXTEEN - DUKE VS OREGON OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

[liverpooty]

Chipping away..

 

[Dad2ze]

Why is Pagliuca sitting? I feel he may could spark this last 7:00 minutes

 

[Crank_it_loud]

That would be wise.

Lol internet tough guy. Awesome.

 

[dukiejay]

Let's quit the bitching, ladies....and you all know who I'm talking to.

 

[liverpooty]

Lol Thornton is so bad. All I can do is laugh.

 

[Dad2ze]

Please make DT walk back to Durham

 

[K-oach Q]

Thornton is aggravating...

 

[Crank_it_loud]

Marshall is just bad tonight.

 

[Buzzooka Joe]

The Ducks point guard looks like Steve Nash out there lol

 

[JCColsCane]

Damn, I wish these kids were mature enough to know it's not over yet! I'm going to say it one last time, Battle, Battle, Battle! Reach down deep.
Go Duke!!

[K-oach Q]

It's over..thorntons jack up ruined any chance if we had one.

 

[Crank_it_loud]

If you look at Boucher......it's a foul.

 

[denverexpat]

BRING IN MATT

Now that! is funny!

 

[youngman42]

Killer series of plays starting with the missed Thornton shot and a forced 3 by Grayson.

 

[dukiejay]

Oregon would be up 20 if they could dunk.

 

[dukehokie]

Thornton and Jones SUCK

They are the least of this team's worries. This hasn't felt like a "Duke" team all year. Rarely any assists, no semblance of defense, poor in court communication and despite that, they are in the Sweet 16 which no one expected and quite honestly should t have expected.

Seriously of all times, no is not the time to air one's grievances. With a limited team and limited bench, they did some nice things this season. Can't win em all.

 

[pisgah101]

I'm going to pray tonight that someone tells Thornton he can get drafted and he leaves

 

[Showenuff]

We are putting up to many one man plays tonight. No teamwork.

 

[K-oach Q]

We need a PG plain and simple.

 

[dukehokie]

Oregon would be up 20 if they could dunk.

And Bell is doing his best Tyrus Thomas impersonation.

 

[wcu1113]

Our defense fvcking sucks.

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

Thornton miss was a dagger

 

[youngman42]

Oregon is a pretty smart team to go with their athletic players. They have played great defense and realize they can let guys like Thornton and Plumlee go free and won't be hurt.

This game is all but over, given our play and the bad match-ups.

 

[Get Nasty]

Duke hasn't had pride on d all year.... Really poor focus and effort tonight

 

[DukeDenver]

Derryck wasn't ready. It's OK. We did alright this year.

These refs suck, but in both directions.

On to the offseason. Lots to look forward to.

 

[500HP_Devil]

I was not expecting to win this but as Ricky Bobby said, losing's never fun.

This sucks.

 

[dukehokie]

We need a PG plain and simple.

We have one. Derryck has actually had an ok game game. He won't take a shot (which most of you begged for anyway) and most of his interior passes have been kicked out or dropped.

When you all get out of your feelings and look at this thing and season rationally, you'll realize Derryck wasn't our main problem this year.

 

[Dad2ze]

Derryck's stupid missed layup took this from what coulda been Duke down by 6/7 to down big. Stupid mistake. Hopefully he gets that worked out in summer. Kid has decent handles but passes and shooting is subpar

 

[K-oach Q]

We could have survived this game with a good PG..one that can break the press..breakdown this zone..distribute/create for shooters..and hit a few open shots.

 

[Dukesince90]

Damn, I wish these kids were mature enough to know it's not over yet! I'm going to say it one last time, Battle, Battle, Battle! Reach down deep.
Go Duke!!


JC-OFC

Were you talking to the Internet siblings?

 

[liverpooty]

Just a much better overall team. Solid year all things considering.

 

[Mpm277]

I did at least hope we'd keep it close..

 

[pisgah101]

Derryck wasn't ready. It's OK. We did alright this year.

On to the offseason. Lots to look forward to.

Sad thing is I don't ever see him being ready

 

[dukehokie]

I'm going to pray tonight that someone tells Thornton he can get drafted and he leaves

I have no issue with you pigsah, but why?

 

[K-oach Q]

We have one. Derryck has actually had an ok game game. He won't take a shot (which most of you begged for anyway) and most of his interior passes have been kicked out or dropped.

He has been terrible tonight..and he does not shoot because he can't shoot.

 

[germantondevil]

Not a bad season fellas after winning a Natty. And the future looks bright. Now let's pull for everyone but UNC. Them winning would make for a long summer

 

[Get Nasty]

So do people still think Thornton is lock to start next year, and matt will play big minutes?

 

[denverexpat]

We havent really improved through the season. Blame it on depth, youth or whatever other factor but we didnt get better or tougher to beat. These young teams have been a roller coaster - the ups of a National Championship is brilliant but the lack of the old Duke defense is hard to watch - we used to hammer teams on D and on the offense...not sure we get that back next year either with all the new talent coming in

 

[Showenuff]

Refs had nothing to do with this game. Oregon is a damn good team.

 

[Crank_it_loud]

Go easy on DT guys, he's ok considering the lack of post players
