Official game day thread- Duke vs Cuse

📍 Syracuse
📺 Espn2
⏰ 7:00

We take our show on the road to upstate NY to face the fruit of the conference. Syracuse isn’t having a great year and sits at 10-12. Not much buzz around this one from the orange faithful either as I see StubHub has tickets for $8. We are a 17.5 point favorite and I expect that to hold or rise..

Duke-92
Cuse-67

No hangover after beating the Cheats. Come out and end it early and rest up for the big game against Clemson.

Let's go Duke

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Duke. We have the tools, we have the talent.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Always a little nervous the game after the cheats but this team is different than years past. Still don’t think it’s a blowout.

I agree, this team doesn’t get complacent. Cooper’s comments after the game were nice to read - he didn’t like the way he and the rest of the team finished Saturday. I’d like to see Evans regain some PT.

 

[AlanInNJ]

Yep, same, always feel like Duke is vulnerable after a big UNC win. But as witnessed, THIS Duke team seems to be built a little differently. Coming back against State and Wake proved our fight and desire to win. I would love to see a solid win tonight with someone other than Flagg or Kon leading scorers. Let's see some bench scoring tonight!

Tickets are $8 to sit at the top level of the massive Orange Dome football stadium where you will need binoculars to see. A descent seat is running $150-$200 right now, Duke and Cooper are still one of the hottest tickets in all of sports.
I'd love to see some more Maliq Brown steals tonight.

True I wasn’t considering the size of the dome. Clemson tix are $200+ to get in building. LittleJohn is tiny tho. I just thought it was funny and shows how far Cuse has fallen when in 2014 you couldn’t get in that place

Duke by 15

We win by 19.

I recently watched Syracuse/Georgetown from the mid 80s. Patrick Ewing was the Georgetown center. Pearl Washington hit a jumper at the buzzer for the win. The talent on the floor was scary. The crowd threw oranges at the backboard while Ewing was shooting a FT and JB had to tell the crowd to settle down

 

[sheyduke]

Duke and I hope Evans, Foster and The rest of the bench get some burn. Especially big Pat .

 

[JimboSlice00]

thankful brown is back. Their center is a big boy and plays a lot of minutes. He could give Mal issues.

We got two other centers to throw at him .

 

[Dad2ze]

This is a game I could see Duke losing but I feel Duke is gonna end it early. Big games form Coop and Kon.

Gillis out

 

[christophero]

Better than an injury. Get well soon Mason.

So far so good.

 

[NCirishman]

I’m like everyone else, I like Evans but, he cannot score inside the arc 😬

 

[christophero]

25-16
Its snowing here I feel like I'm back in upstate NY

 

[denverexpat]

Any sort of reliable 3pt shooter....a JJ, Allen or Langdon type and we'd be unstoppable.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Solid first half. Let's keep it going.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Said the same thing. Still rather he gets more burn than Caleb at this point.

 

[christophero]

37-23
Proctor and Kon 9, cooper 7, James 5 points, Mal 4 points, Evans 3 points.

True. But man, we need Caleb to get back to his level of play before his injury to win a title. Because we will need him.

 

[christophero]

I'm sorry Syracuse but you suck snowballs. I was in a bar in Ithaca when Syracuse won in 2003.
40-25

I bet that was a crazy scene!

 

[christophero]

It was. I think we almost lost in the first round that year with Dantay Jones. Saw that in a bar too.

 

[bullcity gamer]

Flagg, Knuppeul, & Maluach are projected lottery picks

Proctor and James are projected 2nd round picks

 

[christophero]

Will Evans go pro is the question. Maybe if we get that wing recruit.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Cooper Flagg just stole that poor kid's soul.

 

[christophero]

Game over. Game, set and match. Start the bus Gus.

Bleed, I think I still agree but he just doesn’t have it so I fear the switch won’t come on. Thankful Gillis has played well and I just think Evan’s will be more valuable come March. There’s going to be a game we need someone to hit shots when we are cold, and he can do it.

Foster just doesn’t provide anything.

 

[christophero]

Foster and Brown have both scored which might be a sign of the apocalypse. Brown has 6 and 6

I hear ya. I think Mason, Evans, and Big Pat will all have their moments come March. But I feel like a good Caleb takes us to another level.

Evans leaving for the NBA would be a mistake imo Chris. Evans is no where near ready for the nba. He needs to improve defensively and try to get more bulk (if he can).

 

[christophero]

He is not but when has it ever stopped our guys.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

I love seeing J-Rob on the bench.
