How about that spurt! Playing through Ryan Young!
I thought when Flip went out with 7:00 left and it was tied we were toast. Ryan Young was as good as he has ever been….What a Time!!
What a win! Needed this. Let's goooo!
Nice win...Shout out to Ryan Young...the catalyst to the run that put us up and sealed the deal. Roach showing some good leadership too...good signs
Awesome win, ate my words about Young lol
LET'S $%&@ING GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ll give this game ball to McCain. Think this is his best overall game of the season .
Ryan Young... You can't stop him... You can only hope to contain him lol. Ryan young- The Player of the game
Young did give some good minutes there starting at the 7 minute mark. I'm not his biggest fan but he gave us a quality little spurt there when Flip had to sit.
Having a senior guard is magical. I legitimately forgot what it felt like and it's awesome.
This didn’t age well. I realize you aren’t the only one who thinks this though, and many of you are eating crow.
Roach was a stud, and McCain and Foster were solid. Flip was good, but forced too much.
Young is our best option to spell Flip. I wish Stewart was better, but Jon doesn’t trust him. Again, Young isn’t a threat to score, but he’s smart and won’t force too many shots. He knows his role and that’s why he will play a little.
And we don’t win this game without Young.
This was not a good win.
This was a great win over a top 10 team.
Tough gritty win.

Yep. The announcers said the same thing about 3 on 5. I’d be lying though if I said I wasn’t surprised. Flip goes out with 4 fouls with 7 to go and in comes Young. It didn’t look good. Maybe he focused more knowing he was needed.
But he’s the only option Jon trusts.
I do agree that he's the big Jon trusts the most. Can't argue there. Still holding out hope that is Stewart come February.
Ryan Young is not the hero we deserve but the hero we need.
Anything can happen, and I think we’d all love to see Stewart or even Power to be able to help more, but I just don’t see it happening.
I think our best hope is for Mitchell to become a little better on offense, because right now if Young spells Flip, we really are playing 3 on 5.
Ryan Young is like the loyal dog you abandon and leave at the pound, then he escapes, runs home and saves your *** one day.
This team really grew up, jelled and played tough today. Nice game by Roach. McCain is quietly becoming a stud, which is a major development.

Jesus, Chris, are your dogs okay? Haha
I had a Beagle Roscoe for 16 years. I would never give him up he moved out west with me.
Duke was in a Must Win Situation in tonight’s game and they Delivered! I said when the schedule was released back in September, if Duke finished no worst than 2-2 to the likes of Arizona, Michigan State, Arkansas, and Baylor, I would be content with that record, the guys did just that.
The Blue Devils are growing up, they played their most complete game tonight in this early part of the season and got The Must Win against Baylor. McCain and Foster played like Composed Veterans tonight, as opposed to the freshmen that they are.
Queens and then Onto The ACC Conference Season
Let’s Go Duke 😈

Both of the freshman guards have really grown the last few games which gives us incredible depth once Proctor comes back. J Roach, Proctor, McCain and Foster is damn good guard rotation
I thought when we were down 8 or so the season was slipping away from us. But we battled back, which is what good teams do. I love that Roach and Young, our 2 vets, were huge in crunch time. That is leadership.

I hear ya brother. I had a chow mixed with a collie named Sampson for 16 years, dude. Loyal, odd, calm, and sweet. Now I have two: a double doodle, Bowie, and a Shih Tzu Bichon mix, Freddie.
Fred is my shadow, and I travel for business. My ladyfriend has told me that he rolls up in my blanket, or she has to let him sleep on one of my shirts so he won't whine at night, missing me. I love that dog more than most people.

Me too! I am most impressed with the adjustments and fight we showed. This team got better tonight.
Great guard play wins championships, Jimbo!
Wow. The AP headline is "Duke gets big boost from backup Ryan Young in 78-70 win over #10 Baylor." So happy for Ryan.
So, I'm not sure how much the stats do it justice, but Jeremy Roach won this game for us, and was an absolute dog out there. All the guards played well tonight, and that was the key.
Okay, so I, like everyone else, thought this game was not one for Ryan Young. But that kid proved me way wrong tonight. Defensively, he sagged off and that slowed down their pick/roll/penetration/switching game. It helped a ton and slowed them down. He then proceeded to be a part of three beautiful offensive possessions (maybe 3 in a row), including the biggest one of the game where he ended up passing to McCain for that three. Just freaking huge. Ryan Young. Blew my mind, but I love it.

Throw in Blakes for some tough D. Would love to see us press more with this 5-deep backcourt.
