Lville comes to town tonight for what should be a mid-week tune up game.. we are currently a 20.5 point favorite.

We should win regardless of who plays but I’m curious to see if flip or foster misses any time.. (doubt flip does unsure in foster)

Duke-82
Lville-60

Duke wins .

 

[AlanInNJ]

Please let us cruise to a relatively easy win tonight and get healthy for the weekend and home stretch. Duke has been shooting well, and I expect that will continue at home tonight no matter if Flip and/or Foster play.

Duke 81
UL - 62

 

[christophero]

Flip playing, Foster out.
Duke 76
Louisville 63

I can't believe we're 20 point favorites. Think we win but don't nearly cover the 20

 

[DukeMan1986]

Louisville is really bad. We are at home following a 3 game road stretch, we are coming off a loss. If this is remotely close in the 2nd half than that’s not a good sign moving forward.

Duke 89
Louisville 61

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Flip looks like he will be playing tonight

 

[Mac9192]

I'm hoping the game Saturday fired up Jon and the team. I think Louisville gets beaten like a rented drum.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Man it's so great having a senior PG.

 

[denverexpat]

Lacklustre first half

 

[AlanInNJ]

If you searched all my posts on this board I don’t think you’ll find one where I blame refs for anything but wow it sure seems like UL is getting away with highway robbery. Just wow!!

Either way we have good energy and should put this one away early. Nice guard play!

 

[sheyduke]

Ok game but man can Flip hold on to the ball .

 

[The_Only_Blue]

13 point lead but geez we can't finish a quarter strong

 

[JimboSlice00]

Okay first half. Jon will really need need to figure out the last 3 minutes of each half.

 

[AlanInNJ]

Sloppy last 8 minutes. Defense still looks good but no flow on offense and missed FTs. Jon will get them to regroup and let’s bury them in the first 5 mins of second half.

 

[christophero]

Is Blakes injured?

 

[Hofman19]

When Filip is a willing passer; I really love watching this offense!!

We have guys that can knock down the 3-ball...

So I'd much rather see his stat line be closer to 14pts, 14 boards, 5 dimes....As opposed to him trying to score 20-30 by driving to the basket (his handle is still a little erratic and leads to turnovers)!

 

[AlanInNJ]

Love that Power is getting extended burn!!!

 

[sheyduke]

Not really impressed with this win . I know some will say I’m being negative but having to keep the starters in against Louisville to maintain the lead when Louisville is 8-19 and we’re up by 20 and still making turnovers is a little concerning.
I get Flip is coming off the injury but 9 points is concerning against Louisville.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

SPENCER!!!!!

 

[bleediteveryday30]

We covered the spread, and TJ and Sean had good minutes. I think our guards played pretty well, too. Mark had a great game. I'm not going to complain about a 25-point win.

 

[JimboSlice00]

25 point win and it wasn't our best game, but never in doubt. Sean is oozing with talent and it feels like he's so close to giving a quality 12-15 minutes a night.

 

[christophero]

Didn't see the game but nice win coming off a draining loss. On to Saturday and Virginia.

 

[youngman42]

Solid win. If Proctor can start hitting open 3s we could be dangerous with he and Roach and McCain hitting 3s (and Flip taking as many as he did tonight! ).

 

[bleediteveryday30]

23 assists on 32 FG's!

 

[christophero]

Foster may be out a while but we are pretty deep at guard.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Easy smooth stress free game. Glad to see Flip is fine

 

[christophero]

Louisville is a hot mess. We steamrolled them.

Only took 8 shots. 10 boards and 6 assists is pretty good.

 

[christophero]

I'm just happy Flip is back. Not an easy few days for him I imagine. And Stewart is coming on.

 

[Mac9192]

Nothing spectacular, but still a nice win. I’m not surprised to see Stewart play, but it was interesting to see Blakes only play at the end.
Power played a good bit, so it makes me wonder if Foster’s injury will keep him out longer than we’re expecting, and Jon is hoping TJ can be of help. Just a thought.

Good point, Mac. I hope Caleb is only out for the last few weeks of the regular season at worst.

It's easy to get caught up in scoring points. Flip can impact the game in a lot of ways which he did tonight

 

[pisgah101]

Solid easy kinda boring win lol

 

[christophero]

No court storming.

 

[QC Dukie]

No court storming.

And no Koach sighting 🤔

 

[sheyduke]

It’s just my opinion. Like I stated not being negative just would like to see Flip play more like the all American preseason pick he was .

Like stated on to Virginia.

In this regard, Flip posted a +31 for the game. The next-highest was Roach at +21.

If he does we cut down the nets
