Official game day thread- Duke vs FSU

📺 ESPN

Duke is currently favored by 5.5 on the road against a not great FSU team.. Tallahassee is somewhere historically we tend to struggle and seeing so many ranked teams lose on the road this year we are in for a dog fight for sure.

i really don’t know what to expect but i think we need to show some semblance of growth.. if so we should leave with a dub

Duke- 77
FSU-73

Duke by 7

Edit: Proctor out Duke by 2

 

[Quavarius]

I can watch this all day

Duke, 74 FSU, 71

RUMOR; Some FSU players may not play because they are not receiving their NIL checks. I do not believe this will happen.

OFC

This would be awesome!

That Trilly guy is reporting that the FSU players will play, but an interesting subplot. I think we win by 8, but a loss would not surprise me as they need this W for their resume. Stay healthy and get a W; I'm not concerned with style points. They play a lot of guys; so Jon may use his bench more. Will they press us? Would be nice to see Proctor bounce back.
I was there in person for our loss there with the Tatum team; I've never seen so many dunks on us; poor Jeter looked like a deer in headlights. I think we had Giles and Bolden; they didn't fare any better. I also saw us beat them decisively with the Seth Curry/Mason team.

Duke. FSU at their place is always a battle. But I never pick against Duke. With all this NIL nonsense, I wonder how much longer Ham stays in the game.

 

[christophero]

Let's keep this momentum going; we are moving into 2 seed territory but this week is a tough one. Right now I'd say we are a 3/4 seed. A 5 seed is a bad seed as you get a 4 in round 2, see last year. Gameday had us as a 3 seed.

 

[Mac9192]

Let’s good a good game out of our starters. We do that, there’s a good chance we keep the win streak going.

Sounds like Proctor maybe out today.

Might help us the way he’s been play….


*wait to be atracked*

No need to attack your statement. If Proctor is not healthy and plays poorly, it doesn't help Duke at all. If Foster can play with some urgency, then he would help Duke more than a hobbled Proctor.

 

[christophero]

Darn Proctor out with a 3 game road trip looming is not good. Hope he heals fast. Does he have a concussion? Freshman can't play like freshman. Just get out with a W. If my Florida trip was one week later I could have gone to the game.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Why would he be out? I don't care he's not playing well, that's not good for Duke.

 

[christophero]

Blakes should get minutes; seems he only plays decent minutes when one of our guards are injured. Roach has seemed a little hobbled lately; we need a big game from him.

 

[hart2chesson]

I am guessing "concussion protocol??" If you listen to this week's podcast, @ConorONeill
mentions Tyrese had a towel over his head the entire 2nd half vs Wake. Recall he hit his head on the court attempting to take a charge in 1st half.

OFC

 

[christophero]

I played Coach K basketball on Sega Genesis this morning and was down 33 to 5 at halftime to FSU. So hopefully our guys play better than me.
**It's official. Proctor out with a concussion. Did not make the trip.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Just win

 

[ioliva]

Is espn seriously going to let Alabama game run out on a blowout vs airing the start of the Duke game? 🙄

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Sluggish start as usual

 

[JimboSlice00]

Jared needs to shoot the ball each and every time. Let him shoot 25 shots today

 

[The_Only_Blue]

McCain ballin out for us

 

[dadecodevil]

This is why blakes needs minutes

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Man is Flip sloppy with the ball.

 

[LetsGoDuke83]

These turnovers are absolutely infuriating

 

[JimboSlice00]

I can't defend Flip today. He's playing awful. Hopefully he puts together a better second half

 

[christophero]

Thank God for McCain he is carrying us.

 

[JimboSlice00]

This is jj type of shooting. Let him shoot all day

 

[denverexpat]

Same old same old...get a lead and then start to jack up poor shots and turn the ball over....just have no discipline to stretch leads and keep them

 

[JimboSlice00]

Don't think ive seen a player dominate a half like that since Zion. Thank goodness for Jared.

 

[christophero]

25 points for McCain at the half. Damn. 10 point Duke lead.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

The good... we're leading at the half by 10 and McCain is on fire.

The bad... Because McCain was on fire, it was bad timing the half had to end.

Hopefully he doesn't go cold at the half. We also need a better Flip. He needs to find his identity

 

[denverexpat]

Hopefully someone else shows up to help McCain out...yippee ki yay...

 

[denverexpat]

and again....up 10 and then back to back turnovers....

 

[JimboSlice00]

The narrative around Duke getting all the calls is dead. Unreal officiating

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Man talk about home court advantage with these fouls

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Refs lost control of this game

 

[The_Only_Blue]

We couldn't pull away but we came back and scored every time FSU got close. Disappointing McCain couldn't get the freshman record.

Koach must’ve been busy today…….weird
