Official game day thread- Duke vs Baylor rnd 32

[ioliva]

Roach could have stayed but chose not to. That said he got us to a FF but probably peaked as a soph. He was REALLY good in that tournament, particularly the Arkansas game.

We might not have gotten the transfers we got had he stayed. Him choosing to leave us helped us get to where we’re at today. His sacrifice will forever be appreciated.

Similar situation is bacot and Davis. Because of those two nobody really developed at UNC and look how that has turned out for them

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Defense will be key and Brown is chopping at the bits to get in . Let’s go boys .

Yeah defense and rebounding. We were getting worked all game but Baylor is one of the better rebounding teams in college.

 

[ioliva]

No ring haha

Obviously not but not sure why you’re laughing. Dude gave everything he had to the program.

 

[bullcity gamer]

Roach wanted to play point guard and Coach Scheyer told him it was not going to happen at Duke if he returned according to the commentators today early in the telecast of the game

Roach returns for his final season at Duke, no James

 

[christophero]

I wasn't putting Roach down, I like him. But he did have options, and it worked out for both parties. Roach did play some PG at Duke, if he was NBA material it would have happened.

 

[Dattier]

I loved the obvious affection w/ Roach after the game. I even liked that tummy tap and words he gave Coop.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

It just hurt my heart to see him cry. That kid carried us at times in that run to K's last Final Four.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Sucked watching Roach out there crying but he wanted revenge no matter what he says. We probably wouldn't have gotten Sion if Roach decided to stay.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Would we rather have seen Roach crying because we ended his college career, or him happy because Baylor is moving on? Yeah, I’ll take the former.

Appreciate Jeremy and someone mentioned he could be on staff and I agree. Eat or be eaten. Lets go!

Because it’s a ridiculous concept to give a player a championship ring that had nothing to do with the current team

This right here. He wanted to beat us more than anything.

He’ll prob be on staff no joke.

He’ll prob be on staff no joke.

Keep that Paul VI connection going

Jeremy had a good career at Duke and achieved some great things. Two Elite 8’s one of which resulted in a Final Four, An ACC championship and a regular season title. They’re so guard heavy on that team already at Baylor, kind of surprised he went there. As I said when he was a player at Duke, he’s a very good college player, but there are a lot of guards in the country like him. A lot of teams have guards at his ability level, he’s a smaller guard, a notch below elite imo.

Great performance today by Duke!

 

[christophero]

I wonder what the Roach sentiment would be if Baylor won. I prefer today's result. Jeremy was right when he said the committee loves these storylines.

I know I wouldn't be saying sucks we lost but at least we lost to Jeremy

I get us being worried about these games. But this Duke team is just built different. We might not win it all, and I’d be disappointed if we don’t, but…

Duke is a favorite. And rightfully so. Let’s enjoy this team.

I agree and he got paid well at Baylor

 

[Mr.Scary13]

Duke is the best team in the country right now. Let's see what happens....

Big favorite

 

[sheyduke]

What’s not to say Roach was crying because he made the wrong choice ? He’s a blue devil . No matter what he gave Duke four years and will always bleed Duke blue just like Blakes! When you complete your time at Duke and give it your all , you are a Blue devil!

 

[JimboSlice00]

 

[sheyduke]

Let’s go Duke !

We're so lucky to have Jon.

That's my coach!

 

[dukesince91]

I was out of town and driving back home, so I just watched the game. All I could do was picture Bleed chewing his finger nails the first 12 minutes of the half. Proctor wow!!!

 

[smashmouth5]

 

[timo0402]

Bleed will think you mean Baylor

I was pretty close!

[christophero]

Bleed how do you feel about Arizona or Oregon? I feel pretty good about it. Oregon has won like 9 of 10 so they are hot right now, but we should be double digit favorites over either. We can beat Alabama, but BYU upsetting them would help.

 

[t-towndomer]

Bleed how do you feel about Arizona or Oregon?

Too soon.

 

[dukesince91]

It seems some are worried about 3 Baylor players. We have a slew of players that they have to worry about.

Duke 89-72.

The closest I’ve gotten this season.

 

[christophero]

Proctor was in the zone today, similar to McCain in the round of 32 last year. That can change in a hurry, but we have a lot of weapons. Evans needs to find his groove again. This team has a great chance at making the final four, and maybe going all the way.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Yeah kinda sucks we can't just stay in Raleigh. Tyrese was locked in shooting at this stadium.

 

[christophero]

Colorado St. up 2 with 4 minutes left. Go Rams!

 

[The_Only_Blue]

So who should we rather play? Zona or Ducks?

 

[christophero]

Zona if I had to choose. But we should beat either team.

I can tell you-


Man im nervous, we already beat Arizona and Caleb love… I can just see him going off to end our season. It would give him (and Carolina fans such joy) Carolina $&/&;$ I can’t believe they );&/) got in the tournament. But I think Arizona and love get us.. if not Oregon scares me a lot. You do know they ended our season in the 16 in 2016 so I bet they do it again.
