We get the rambling wreck to start the day out. Currently a 22.5 point favorite and I have a feeling that’s low. I’ll add they did best lville and Clemson so maybe they give us a run

Duke-102
GT-60

Duke.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Start strong and take their souls away early so the main players can rest.

Let's go Duke!!

 

[christophero]

GT should just forfeit.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Duke 82
GT 68

 

[sheyduke]

A good mix of the bench today and a Duke win .

 

[timo0402]

DDMF

 

[NCirishman]

We win but I think by less than 20.

We play at least 10 players and have balanced scoring.

 

[Dad2ze]

Like @The_Only_Blue said...I hope we take their souls. Make them sorry they even made the trip to Charlotte.

Duke - 97
Gt - 53

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Not the start we wanted at all.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Sluggish start. Too many days off? Mal needs to grip that ball. Seems to have butterfingers

 

[AlanInNJ]

0 for 6 from 3. How about we drive to the basket?

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Foster on the floor early.

 

[BluePhil]

Good shots aren't falling for us - hard shots for them. That trend won't last.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

They're hitting everything. We just don't look the same right now. I was worried losing a coach might hurt this group and I think we're seeing the effects of that.

Exactly

Come on bleed lol

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Come on bleed lol

Dude, we are not looking like ourselves at all. I'm not saying that's the only reason, but it's definitely a reason.

 

[AlanInNJ]

I'm at work following on my phone, not watching live. Still, I am sure Duke will settle in, and a little early, single elimination tourney scare might be a good thing.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Lots of time but they look like they have no interest in being there.

 

[sheyduke]

This might be a blow out alright and it might be Duke that gets blown out. O-10 from three and can’t buy a bucket .

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Couldn't even throw a lob correctly

 

[bleediteveryday30]

We look all out of sorts. But Jai Lucas leaving doesn't matter.

 

[BluePhil]

Duke is not playing to their standards, part is shots not falling, part is a little loose playing rushed from a deficit. Saw that getting rushed against Carolina.

But they are not objectively bad. Most defense has been good - not great but good - GT is getting some hard shots to fall.

Still we are not our regular team right now- good shots falling not withstanding.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

I don't understand how what I said is funny or how it isn't true?

 

[pisgah101]

We look all out of sorts. But Jai Lucas leaving doesn't matter.

If him leaving is the reason we have 12 points then we might as well not go to the NCAA

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Great. Now, Maliq is hurt again. Everything is falling apart.

 

[pisgah101]

I don't understand how what I said is funny or how it isn't true?

Cuz it’s stupid. You get all worked up every game where we play bad and 9/10 we end up fine. This might be that 1 time and I’ll admit it but don’t overreact everything

 

[bleediteveryday30]

I didn't say it is the only reason, but it is clearly a reason.

 

[Dad2ze]

I hate when they chunk up 3s

Okay, dude. Whatever.

 

[Grizbanker]

Man....Maliq injured again. I think they were hoping to let him sit this game out but the score and situation changed that. Then he gets hurt again. Argh....I am still confident they come back and win this game. But wow......0-13 from deep so far. Lets Go Duke!

 

[pisgah101]

Could make more sense this is why we look bad.. cold as ice

 

[pisgah101]

I didn't say it is the only reason, but it is clearly a reason.

Like I said if an assistant coach has that much power over how we play then stick a fork in the season

 

[Th0r]

This game has been pretty gross so far, though I think we can easily get back in this game. Just need a couple of threes to go in.

 

[sheyduke]

So you don’t find it a bit odd they are shooting lights out and Duke looks lost on defense ?

 

[pisgah101]

No I think it looks like a team that’s been off playing in a new arena against a team that’s played well a day ago

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Yeah, lose a coach we are fine. Lose Maliq again. We're fine. Everything is fine.

 

[pisgah101]

Yeah, lose a coach we are fine. Lose Maliq again. We're fine. Everything is fine.

Go cheer for Carolina then

 

[pisgah101]

Now that injury we can freak out about
