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

[skysdad]

Plumlee needs to be a bully tonight.

Yes but in control. He has to stay out of foul trouble. OFC

 

[skysdad]

Getting close fellow Duke fans. Let's get those positive vibs rolling. Already a positive. No Len Elmore to distract those positive and good vibrations. Jim Spanarkel. As good as it gets. OFC

 

[Dukesince90]

Who did Chuck Norris pick? That's all that matters.

 

[liverpooty]

LET'S GET IT GOIN

 

[skysdad]

We really need to get off to a great start. OFC

[Dad2ze]

We look nervous

 

[Crank_it_loud]

Not sure I've ever seen a Duke team play so scared.

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

Duke gets all the calls

 

[wcu1113]

Crap. Time to grow up, Chase.

 

[carlsondevil]

Plumlee 2 fouls already. Not the way we wanted to start.

 

[pisgah101]

Hey so slow down ball hasn't worked starting it up big so let's just do it from the get go!

 

[Dukesince90]

Plumlee with 2 fouls...ouch

 

[denverexpat]

well there goes the "stay out of foul trouble" for marshall...two offensive foul calls in 4 minutes. Who says refs dont influence games. Should be interesting to see how we adjust. Not a good scenario.

 

[Dukesince90]

Oregon's defense looks pretty damn good.

 

[bluedevilfan42]

Yes but in control. He has to stay out of foul trouble. OFC

Guess that hope is out the window.

 

[dukiejay]

Not good.

 

[Crank_it_loud]

Obi better get loose too with the way they're calling it on the bigs.

 

[WI#1Dukie22]

Yeah taking plum essentially outa the real flow already is like being down atleast 8 already. We all knew we had to make open shots. Just haven't yet.

 

[DukeDenver]

Yes but in control. He has to stay out of foul trouble. OFC

Guess he didn't hear about the new 5 foul rule.

 

[DukeDenver]

Allen needs to figure out how to get fouled. It's going to be tough.

 

[liverpooty]

Awful start.

 

[Dukesince90]

And Thornton's gonna dribble through the press, heck he dribbled off his foot with little pressure. Grayson's gonna have to step up.

 

[Get Nasty]

Our bad passing and no pg is
showing early

 

[carlsondevil]

Thornton with a horrible turnover

 

[pisgah101]

Allen has to take over. And nice handles by Thornton on that possession

 

[denverexpat]

Nerves or just careless?.....on both ends. Oregon D looks up for it...need to match that intensity on our D end

 

[K-oach Q]

We need to settle down quick it's about to get out of control early.

 

[Buzzooka Joe]

We have to get points in the post somehow.. This is a game where Jahlil or Mason would have 25+.

 

[DukeDenver]

Oregon cheerleaders.

 

[Dukesince90]

We're definitely looking like a young team right now.

 

[Dahntay#1]

If we can get through the next 5 minutes and keep it close, we will be fine. Otherwise, this could be over before it really even gets started.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Just about everything that could go wrong has went wrong. And our offense doesn't seem to know how to attack the Ducks' defense. Need to ratchet up the intensity if we're going to stay in this one.

OFC

 

[Mpm277]

Jeter and Thornton. Ugh.

 

[dukiejay]

We have to attack.

 

[Crank_it_loud]

Well if you look at anyone defensively in the post, it's a foul.

 

[Dad2ze]

Stupid lane violation. Seem very nervous. On the flip side, Oregon seems to be fouling a lot.

 

[Dukesince90]

Look better driving the ball into the paint.

 

[Alaskan_Assassin_21]

We fought back!

Just need to draw some fouls, run the clock and box out.

 

[HeLooks2MuchLikeDave]

Oregon doesn't look talented and disciplined enough to run away with this game. Let's just keep it close and hope for some bounces
