Florida at Duke ACC/SEC Challenge.
Man our non conference schedule is the hardest I’ve seen a Duke team play in a decade. Not a bad thing but it’s no joke.
Wish we would've played Florida in the title game. I think we win by 10+
Bring it . You want to be the best you got to beat the best and beating the defending national champs wouldn’t be a bad start to the season .
Some idiots will still say, “but Duke doesn’t play any competition” 😂

Duke just posted a video of Evans and Harris making a combined 15 straight 3s
during a workout
Snipers Everywhere!!!

Snipers Everywhere!!!
Caleb looking like he's put on some muscle in that clip! I really hope the young man can make a big jump this year. I think he will be key to our success!
If Caleb can improve finishing at the rim and put up numbers like 12 ppg, 5 a, 3 r, with 42/37/75 shooting this team can be really good.
Has there ever been a summer when we didn't shoot well? Have to admit Foster looks good.
Chris, Duke was a very good 3 point shooting team just this past season.
Evans and Harris are Known Snipers, them making 15 in a row during a workout shouldn’t be a surprise
I'm looking forward to a big year with Foster. We all know he is a athletic guard just has to play confident
C Fos is going to do very well as an Upperclassman!
Guy should have played over Proctor in the 2nd half against Houston

Bull I can't disagree with you. 'Rese was a real liability 2nd half, especially down stretch.
OFC
Proctor was so consistent but would vanish at key times. He could have changed that but decided to move on. Most mocks have him in the early to mid 2nd round.
Jmo but Proctor and Gillis were the biggest liabilities against Houston. Wish Foster and Ngongba would have gobbled up those minutes in the 2nd half.
I’ve always been a Proctor Supporter so I really hope he gets drafted next week and plays for 10+ seasons in the NBA
I'm ready to move on. The only way the pain of that Final Four loss leaves me is we follow it up with winning a national title this season.
No, it was our 7’2” center playing without a rebound and having several potential rebounds slapped out of his hands….But I agree Ngongba should have been playing in his place.
OFC
I agree although Mal wasn’t alone.
Mal had some good moments but I bout threw up every time I heard or read him compared to Embiid. 😬
No comparison at same age and I seriously doubt Mal will ever be close to Embiid.
I remember seeing Embiid in that world vs US game and I stated right here that he’d be a 1st All America as a freshman, and got laughed off the board. 😂
Big Pat has always had foot issues . Better to get them worked out now than during the season .
I’m already over the final four loss. Each team will always be different so it’s next up and come together as a team .

I’m giving Mal a pass because he was More Productive in the game against Houston than both Proctor and Gillis were combined.
Also, Mal was dealing with Visa Issues that could have dealt with his mental state. Proctor and Gillis didn’t have those issues to worry about.

Regarding Proctor and Foster I believe in the old "you play with who got you there." Proctor could have come up big but he didn't. Also Foster was not exactly Mr. Consistency so he could have had a bad second half who knows. I was disappointed in Gillis that game. I'm not disappointed that we lost so much as we gave the game away. Still happy with the final four though.

Chris, for me you play who is playing better in each situation/game.
Any one who says Proctor outplayed Foster in the game needs their eyes checked.
Duke was 10 deep last season, use your depth. Foster is no scrub even though some talk as if he is.
Gillis dumb foul allowed Houston to score 6 points in one possession and he was a no show.
Flagg, Knueppel, Brown, and Foster showed up against Houston. Everyone else decided to stay in their hotel room.
2025-2026 Duke Redemption Tour coming soon to you!
Hope to see some of you in Charlotte on November 4th
