Official game day thread Duke vs NC St round 3 ELITE EIGHT ADDITION
- Thread starter pisgah101
- Start date
Gonna be one of the most interesting off seasons in a long time
We need a PG….Proctor is not one.
The JMU game showed what we could be, the UH game was a great but grinding win...but the identity of this team that was the majority of the season showed up in the second half....we lacked any game plan on either end, and players disappeared when needed. Elite 8 is a good run...shame it ended this way though
Unfortunately that's 2 Tourney losses to rivals.
We weren't going to defeat Uconn or even Purdue. This was big miss by Scheyer to stamp FF on his young resume.
I wouldn’t mind seeing proctor and Mitchell leave too, but the blame’s got to go to scheyer. So much talent that hasn’t developed into much of anything from one season to the next. We had a really poorly played regular season and outside of these 3 ncaa wins we haven’t truly looked like a good team. Truthfully the only game we played well was against jmu. We beat Houston in a tough grind out game but we didn’t play overly well
We need to prioritize SPACING. Flip playing 5 with someone 6"5 or taller who can shoot would have been really helpful. We were never going to win with 3 guards under 6'4 and a 5 with no rim protection
Worst shooting performance in the second half by Duke that I can recall in a very long time.
We are better than State but State just played a better game .
I agree….We can live without both of those players.
Jon needs an offensive system…..we have been plagued by some pretty poor offensive performances since he has taken the reigns.
I do think we play good defense under Scheyer….but a long way to go offensively.
Guys Proctor had a terrible game but you really don't want a junior Proctor? And a junior Mitchell.
I get that as well, but I don't think this team is a one year development project. Our flaws were hid last year until Tenn. Mitchell was forced to start and Flip played the wing. This year, Flip is the center and Mitchell has more responsibility. We are not that team. Flip is at his best with a Center/Rim Protector. Mitchell is at his best with NO PRESSURE!
State played two better games than us, who are better, in the span of a week.
They might be better.
I think its hard when all we recruit are star players...they want to score...they dont want to be role players...so any offense has to let people shoot...some of whom should not or cannot with any consistency...we need a TEAM...not a group of talented individuals...Uconn..Purdue are good teams...
I would absolutely take a junior proctor. He had a bad game but his d was lights out against houston
Proctor need to go see the wizard and live in the weight room if he come back!!
This why I'm concerned with next year's team. I've said it over and over, COVID and NIL changed a lot of things in college basketball.
My issue overall is with Scheyer's tactics in the second half.
We had no answer for Burns, and really didn't try anything different until it was too late.
And we had NO answer to get a guard an open look.

Regarding all of this who’s back and who’s not stuff, honestly my thoughts right now is that it’s just time for some guys to move on.
No. I've been in the Proctor being extremely overrated for a long time and many here hit back on it. I believe many are seeing the light on him now. He has a good game every now and then, but for the most part he doesn't bring alot IMO.
Someone please tell me what Duke’s record is when Brian McConnell calls our game since Scheyer has taken over?
I'll take them back in a heartbeat. Anyone who says otherwise is crazy.
That's what i said. Lol.
Scheyer thinking we could 1v1 Burns all day with Ryan Young was how the game flipped
Scheyer’s best recruit will be convincing McCain to return .
Proctor has not been allowed to be the 'dominant guard'. As a team player, he has been horrible. Dominant guard...it may be a different conversation.
Watching today it seemed like Scheyer was slowing everything down calling a lot of sets. No transition offense whatsoever. Sometimes you have to let them play a little bit and he didn’t do that today.
If we take them back we lose possibility three recruits. I get it, but the pushback will be different.
Yup. Just a tall guard.. Not much of anything else consistently
Both will benefit way better next year with the pieces coming in . Just like this team wasn’t set up for Flips style of play next season is set up real well for Proctor and Foster running the point .
It’s an unknown…..I think the answer has been on the bench since game 1.
However we don’t know because we got our ass kicked twice without letting the kid play.
Just don't see it. Absolutely one of the weakest players I've ever seen.
This is not on Coach. This is on the guys in the rectangle, some of which are true Freshman and Sophomores. We just didn't have the experience and If you are a pro, you have to have an impact on the game(Proctor). We better hope Mitchell comes back, we are missing Juniors and seniors who have been through the action and can actually lead a young team. I'm sure we lose Roach, Proctor, McCain, Young, and Flip. Moving forward, where will our leadership come from?
