Game one of the “blue devil challenge” featuring duke vs the mighty bison of Bucknell we are a 33 point favorite

Bucknell is coached by JOHN GRIFFIN III in his very first season. John played ball at Bucknell and graduated in 08. His father coached at St Joseph’s from 90-95. As a player he was a key backup on Bison squads that defeated Kansas and Arkansas in the first round of the 2005 and 2006 NCAA Tournaments. The Kansas win was the first NCAA Tournament victory in Bucknell and Patriot League history. The 2005-06 squad finished 27-5 overall (14-0 in the Patriot League), earned a top-25 ranking and a No. 9 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Prediction is it’s a long night for the new cosch

Duke-102
Bucknell-62

Oh no, here we go again. Honestly, Duke and the foot issues. Even screwed up football this year with qb Riley Leonard. Smh.You'd think it was contagious!!!! OFC

Hope to see Power get some serious burn.

OFC

Hopefully Stewart can get some good PT during these next 3. He’ll be needed against Arkansas

 

[Fourteen44]

Hate to see Reeves hurt, but that explains why he’s getting so little burn.

Duke 90

Friday game? Nice. I'd like to see more out of Stewart and McCain, and maybe see some minutes for Power. Reeves too.

Darn just read the Reeves news from GAAP. Hope he gets better soon. More minutes for Stewart. I like that we have already played 2 good teams and now have a chance to fine tune things.

 

[Mac9192]

Hate to hear the news about Reeves. He's one of the few that can't afford any medical setbacks. I'm not worried at all about McCain. He just had a game the other day where his shot didn't fall, and Foster came in and his did. I like all of our freshmen, and believe come February, Stewart will be of more help.

Duke by 36.

McCain hits 5 3's and ends the night with 19 and the coveted DI gameball!

Until the team comes out and says more we cannot be all doom and gloom. Could be overly cautious with easy sailing for more than a month except at Arkansas.

 

[sheyduke]

Duke wins!

Look for the bench to get a lot of burn .

That would be one heck of a SHOW, @pisgah101

Considering Reeves had left ankle surgery in the off season…..

 

[Jnood]

The crazy’s need to start screaming like they see Taylor swift on tv at a chiefs game…

 

[DanTheDukeFan1982II]

Stewart in before Young. There we go Jon!

 

[JimboSlice00]

#24 for Bucknell doesn't miss. Wtf

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Tight one thus far. Forest is a baller for them.

 

[Duke Blu]

Jesus lord please not Flip

 

[bleediteveryday30]

☹️

 

[christophero]

Flip is injured?
Ankle sprain?

 

[jamsession2]

Young will rebound and kick out.

 

[dukecorey]

Duke is playing horrible

 

[JimboSlice00]

Good response, but please let Flip be okay. Hopefully just run of the mill sprain. If not, and it's a serious injury, season is more than likely in huge trouble

 

[Duke Blu]

Thank god its Bucknell. Lets hope Flip’s injury is not as bad as it looked.

 

[christophero]

Hope Flip is okay. That would make Young our tallest player (who plays) Him and Stewart are 6-9.

 

[dukecorey]

Well at least they went on a 11-0 run after I type the last post. I will take it

 

[sheyduke]

The offense is still a work in progress .

 

[bleediteveryday30]

I loved the last four minutes of the game. But please, dear lord, let Flip be okay. 🙏

 

[Fourteen44]

Flip just rolled the ankle, he will be fine in a couple weeks.

Ryan Young can dunk!! Awesome.

 

[christophero]

We definitely need this Mark Mitchell. 16 points on 6 of 10.
Sounds like the freshman have been quiet.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Ryan Young can dunk!! Awesome.

I hope you're right.

I hope man. Doubt we need him next two games, but pray it's not major. Don't like seeing anyone helped off the court.

 

[christophero]

Us and foot injuries are a thing. Every year.

 

[sheyduke]

All the freshmen really don’t stand out to me . Stewart and Powers got in but need them all to step up especially Stewart .

 

[Duke Blu]

Each time Stewart gets in he looks active and makes a play. Would be nice to see him with extended minutes to see what he can really do.

 

[Duke Blu]

As for Flip, maybe high ankle sprain at worst? Those are usually the worst ones but like someone else said, can still come back in a few weeks right?

 

[christophero]

With Flip out you will get your wish. I would assume a few weeks for Flip. Arkansas might be rough without him.

 

[Duke Blu]

With Flip out you will get your wish.

Although rather it not be because our best player went down lol

 

[christophero]

Flip's warming up!!!
Cue Eye of the Tiger.
