Official game day thread- Duke vs Houston SWEET 16

[The_Only_Blue]

So much for fast start

 

[pisgah101]

Ohh boy

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Welp. Damn. Horrible start.

 

[denverexpat]

well...thats not the start we needed....still think Shead needs to be guarded by Mitchell...he's going past proctor so easy

 

[Duke Blu]

No excuse for Roach playing like this. He played on bigger stage than this with the Banchero team and played well.

 

[ioliva]

Those 2 plays by roach are feeding Houston’s fire to blow Duke out. wtf was that?!

 

[Jjallen]

I’ve seen this movie. Not sure why roach is rattled on the first possession of the game

 

[jamsession2]

We playing a bunch a men that still play on concrete outside. They serious. I'm praying.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Just settle down. Dig in on the defensive end.

 

[Duke Blu]

Please feed Flip.

 

[Jnood]

We might get shutout.

 

[christophero]

Comon squad.

 

[Jnood]

It’s already over

 

[jamsession2]

Put Ryan in ASAP

 

[Duke Blu]

We looked severely overmatched. Feels like UNLV 90.

 

[jamsession2]

These are different type of ball players.

 

[christophero]

****
I need more Coor's
We took their shot, now hit back
At this rate it will be 32 to 12.

 

[ioliva]

3 unforced turnovers out of 4. Can’t even get shots off due to dumb play

 

[denverexpat]

These are different type of ball players.

Its grown men with an attitude vs good young basketball players...going to be a real test of our fortitude

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Even Roach looks like a freshman out there. Houston bunch grown men

 

[springsportster]

Houston just playing harder, faster and more aggressive.

 

[K-oach Q]

Trapping our guards every time down the floor and they don’t know what to do.

 

[duhondukie]

Its grown men with an attitude vs good young basketball players...going to be a real test of our fortitude

This right here.

 

[denverexpat]

Didnt we scrimmage them at some point early before the season? seem to remember that...so should be no surprise

 

[dukeblue77]

Let’s go!

 

[springsportster]

You can see the aggression on Houston's faces. They look like they came to steal our lunch money and laugh at us after the step on our backpacks

 

[christophero]

We're only down 5.

 

[tclark6]

We man up or we go home! These grown men came to play!

 

[bleudevils2015]

We’re scared and beat but man Houston is a dirty team. No respect at all for their program. Sampson is a POS.

 

[christophero]

Houston is a big step up from James Madison. Good Lord.

 

[Jjallen]

We now know who to foul.

 

[dukeblue77]

Need to make shots! Marquette missed 23 threes.

 

[ioliva]

Houston looks strong but we’re only losing because of our stupid mistakes we can win this

 

[christophero]

This feels like one of those "we are lucky to not be blown out by halftime" type games. Which we usually lose. But lot of ball left. We seem to have settled down a bit. Young came to play.

 

[Jjallen]

McCain just called out of bounds while he was in the air

 

[tclark6]

Houston is a big step up from James Madison. Good Lord.

I might have a few Coors Lites

You’re going to need something a little stronger for this grown man game!

 

[JimboSlice00]

Roach is our senior. He HAS to hit shots. Cmon now

 

[denverexpat]

showing some good signs now

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Man, this is a dirty group. I expect nothing less from a Kelvin Sampson team.

 

[christophero]

It is what it is. We need to adjust.
