I’m not yall act like you didn’t see this being an issue . Rebounding was always going to be an issue with this team . I’m fine with the loss . Yall aren’t !
The only comparison is how effective you can be at that size (6’8-6’9). In terms of rebounding and defense.Are you really comparing Stewart and Mitchell to hill and Lang? Yikes
Omg shedrick isn’t even starting and you act like flip returning scared him away 😂Omg who is coming to Duke with Flip Returning? Who ? He tried no one was interested you act like this is the NBA
Maybe the staff tried. But who wants to come in with the roster that we had? It’s basic math. Any decent one would want 20+ minutes.So why didn’t we bring in a transfer big?
looking at size only is a straw man 😂The only comparison is how effective you can be at that size (6’8-6’9). In terms of rebounding and defense.
No need to create a strawman.
The fact is this. Stewart even at 6’9 is and will be a better player than Young and Reeves in almost every metric we are weak at. Thats defense in the pain and rebounding.
Theo John was willing to be a backup and would start center on this team.Maybe the staff tried. But who wants to come in with the roster that we had? It’s basic math. Any decent one would want 20+ minutes.
Evidently it scared every center offered away otherwise theyed be wearing a Duke jersey!Omg shedrick isn’t even starting and you act like flip returning scared him away 😂
Why didn’t the staff get one then? Is it possible they see the roster and say no?Theo John was willing to be a backup and would start center on this team.
You win.looking at size only is a straw man 😂
Get out with this weak sauce.
Ps - your subjectivity at the end does nothing to show why you idiotically compared these two to hill and Lang.
There’s nothing to win, I just can’t believe you tried to compare those lineups….You win.
Shedrick only played 12 minutes against a cupcake and isnt even startingMaybe the staff tried. But who wants to come in with the roster that we had? It’s basic math. Any decent one would want 20+ minutes.
Incorrect. That doesn’t mean it was flip coming back that scared the 2 centers scheyer looked at. He didn’t tap into the portal like he should’ve his first year. We’re paying for it. And we’re going to pay for it again next year unless reeves makes a huge jump. Scheyer wanted to get older … but his roster building isn’t supporting that.Evidently it scared every center offered away otherwise theyed be wearing a Duke jersey!
Actually 45-33, but still very badOutrebounded 41 to 27 on the boards. That was the game.
Uh yes he did, jacking 3’s early in the shot clock cost us some key possessions. That’s not his game.Mitchell didn’t Kill Duke unless he’s jacking up three’s ! He’s coming off an ankle injury . Flips turn into the defender and not score is not offense . Dukes guards will have to rebound period !
What else can you expect from a 23 and younger crowd which was going through a phase of eating tide pods a few years ago?Last post pointing this out but two biggest takeaways in my opinion.
1. Ryan Young killed us and his minutes need to go elsewhere. He severely limits our potential.
2. What happened to the "crazies"? Being a kid growing up in the 90s, they were infectious and you were so drawn to Duke because of them. Absolutely pathetic home crowd tonight. Has to improve but this generation of kids are a odd bunch.
In no world is the 3rd game of the year a must win. My goodness. Our early season schedule is brutal and the committee historically doesn't hold those type of losses against a squad come selection Sunday.What if Duke starts 1-2? Is this a must win game now versus MSU?
I was just thinking that. MSU lost too, so both teams will be hungry for a win. 1-2 not the end of the world but not a great start.What if Duke starts 1-2? Is this a must win game now versus MSU?
Good chance it’s 1-2 as msu guards may light this Duke D up.I was just thinking that. MSU lost too, so both teams will be hungry for a win. 1-2 not the end of the world but not a great start.
I don’t see anyone saying that but Jon was painfully outcoached the entire game.Duke Corey if Duke starts out on 1-2, I am sure some of you will throw the towel in and say Duke needs to fire Scheyer and none of the kids on the Duke roster will be good enough to play in the nba some day.
What are you talking about?? I was asking a serious question since the ACC is very weak and if Duke loses two of its marquee games their seeding will be hurt. I think this game is more important than you think. Where will the quality wins come from?? Is it guaranteed any ACC win will be quality in the committee eyes?Duke Corey if Duke starts out on 1-2, I am sure some of you will throw the towel in and say Duke needs to fire Scheyer and none of the kids on the Duke roster will be good enough to play in the nba some day.
Let’s go on a Nathan’s and Coors Light streak, see if we can will and consume this team to a title.I think we will beat MSU. If we don't that will mean we have lost to the last 3 good teams we played, and yes that is concerning. But I think we beat the Spartans.
Scheyer made the right adjustments…..yet lost the game, closed the margin by 3, and got smoked on the boards. Awesome.Fourteen44, Scheyer made the right adjustments at the half, that’s why Arizona had more turnovers in the game and why dukes offense was better in the 2nd half and they dominated the points off defense mark. Yes, AZ won the game, but Duke outscored AZ in the 2nd half.
Also, I made my comment above because the past 2 seasons prior to this one, those things were said a lot about our players.

I loved the minutes Stewart gave. Looked good on defense and of course impressive rebounding with a put back. I wonder if we could use more of that?We won the second half. You're a glass half full kind of guy aren't you.
We will be fine. But we need to rebound better. Maybe Stewart can develop and help.
I disagree, I think Miami, Arkansas & Baylor will be boarder line top 20 teams most of the season. But we will see. I think Duke needs this one against MSU on Tuesday. Who starts 1-2, neither team wants that.Miami is a pretty solid squad in the ACC. Also Duke goes to Arkansas later this month and plays a neutral site game against Baylor. So Tuesday is not the last opportunity for a quality win. So no it’s not a must win game dukecorey
