Don’t tell christophero
I just finished the game. I had a dinner date tonight and avoided the score. Wow. I mean, when Spencer Hubbard is making step-back 3s, it's a good night. What an absolute ass-kicking. Ladies and Gents, this team is special.
Duke gave Illinois their worst loss in program history tonight
You know we played well when the GameDay thread is only 1.5 pages long 🤣🤣🤣🤣
7 guys in double-figures. 50%+ from 2 and 3. 28 assists w/ just 6 turnovers. Everybody dressed played. Hub 3! Our highest 1st half point total of the season followed by an even higher scoring 2nd half. Outscored them after the last of our starters went to the bench w/ 6 1/2 to play. Wow!
Slim reaper was on target, foster hit two three’s , big Pat is playing well . Let’s go
I'd love to see Foster put a couple good back to back games together. That would definitely boost his confidence. He played decent against Stanford then put in a clunker last game against UVA.
Love that Foster came in squeezing! We will need him in March, glad he is staying engaged! Slim is playing his way into the lottery!
Had to work but caught the highlights. What a performance. We have a legit shot to hang number 6. Evans is shooting up mock drafts.
If we lost to Illinois I had us as a 10 seed in the Midwest.
Hubbard
Evans
Proctor
James
Knueppel
Flagg

Are all shooting above 35% from the 3 on the season

Don't forget Hubbard -- the leader at 66.7%.
I think Miles Plumlee led Duke in 3pt shooting percentage one year.
CORRECTION: Marshall Plumlee 100% from 3 his junior year.
Wonder if any will be good enough to come to Duke
ALL the kids' names start with K, including one who is literally named "Kid."
I have not enjoyed a regular season like this since, I dare say '15??? Yes bleed, "special" is the operative word. This Duke team means business(Ask Illinois). It's so cool seeing a team truly play on both ends of the court.
OFC
Wow, One of the best Duke performances in years that resulted in the worst loss in program history for the Illini. (That game against Kentucky in 2019 is a similar type performance.) everybody played well Saturday. 👏 Duke is playing as good as anyone in College Basketball right now.
I have complained about the one and done Duke teams in the past, thought we have had too many guys trying to "get theirs," or we were too "top heavy," but this team can do it all. Guys passing the ball, diving on the floor, the superstar making plays on both ends of the court....
It will be so disappointing if this team doesn't win it all.

Agree with you and Mac. If we don’t this one will hurt
Duke, Auburn, Florida, St. John’s, and Houston are the Best Teams in The Country. At least two of these teams will be in the Final 4 imo.
My list is Duke, Auburn, Florida and Houston. I believe one of those four will win it this year. St John’s is close but I think their offense is what will get them down the road
Pisgah you and Mac always cut to the chase, and tell it like it is. A great quality!! Yes, we've really not only enjoyed this team for their play, but they appear to have ideal chemistry.
An L to oust Duke would hurt more than Jon's first two teams elimination(although they had some tangible accomplishments). There's something though about this squad. They're a blast to watch, seem to really get along, and there are no prima donnas. Talented team, and some real dogs scrapping and diving for loose balls!!!
We may be watching Duke's BEST SQUAD and BLEND of youngsters/upperclassmen we will see for some time. I am sure Jon and staff know it!! Anything can happen, but this team is CAPABLE of not losing another game!!! OFC
After watching Houston last night, I hope we do not see them until the Final Four, which should be the case unless crazy stuff happens.
They are extremely physical and play amazing defense. Plus they gotta be pissed off for us taking them out last year.
Give me Tennessee or a Big10 team as our 2 seed and lets call it a day.

The last two seasons haven’t been the best programs in the final four.
This year should be four heavyweights. Duke, Auburn and probably Houston should be there. The fourth school could be a number of teams.

I think Florida is right up there with the other three you mentioned. The four all have great offenses and defenses per Kenpom too. All top ten except Auburn offense is at 11. I think those four have separated themselves from the pack. But upsets always happen.
