Embarrass them.. simple as that, I want to flat out embarrass the teams we play this week.. we are currently a 21.5 point favorite


Duke- 101
NC St- 62

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Need others to step up. Coop played almost the whole game the other night. We owe them big time from last year. Let's cruise to another 20 plus point non stressful win.

Let's go Duke!

Duke by 25.

State can’t shoot straight. We win big.

Duke 91
NCSU 63

Coming off the big road win along with UNC on Saturday has me thinking we start out sluggish but eventually pull away.

[Mac9192]

State is bad. We should win this one fairly easily, with Cooper not playing much the last 7-8 minutes.

 

[LetsGoDuke83]

Beat there a$$ by as much as possible. Fat boy isn’t there to save them anymore, hope they enjoyed the fluke from last year

 

[Dattier]

By the time FF Saturday rolled around last season, I was pulling hard for them, but I wanna get some payback. A blowout tonight won't get it all back at once, but it will be a good start.

 

[DukeDallas9192011015]

Will we see Brown tonight? On the DBR podcast it was stated that Brown could be back for UNC. Cameron will definitely be rocking if that is the case!

I hope this game is a beatdown. Come out strong and crush them.

Middlebrooks, O'Connell, and Taylor return from the NC State team which gave Duke 2 losses last season. Middlebrooks will try to muck it up against Flagg, because Middlebrooks did so with Flip last season.

Duke needs to start the game fast and never give NC State any glimmer of hope. Duke owes NC State a couple of beat downs from last season.

don't think many players can pisgah.

Flip went through a lot during his time at Duke which Coach Scheyer kept in house (crazy fiance, family issues), hip surgery, playing out of position his Sophomore year. At the end of the day, Flip was a large reason for Duke's success his two years at Duke and was an All-American as a Sophomore. I am glad to see Flip starting for the Utah Jazz.

Freshman Flip:

Led Division I in double-doubles earned for All Freshmen
ACC Rookie of The Year
ACC Tournament MVP

Sophomore Flip:

Stats Improved
2nd Team All American

Flip would have been a 1st Round Draft Pick had he left after his Freshman Season at Duke, but he chose to return to run it back.

Also got former Cheat Dontrez Styles. Like others have said we need to take their souls early

Agreed about Flip. I will never knock a kid for returning to college even if it hurts their draft stock.

I also don't think Duke did Flip any favors by not bringing in a true C last season, meaning Flip had to play out of position all year. His body language for most of last season was....really bad. Makes me wonder if there was even more going on than his crazy gf/family saga. We will probably never know.

 

[sheyduke]

Duke.

Don’t think you see Miidlebrooks on Flagg unless NC state wants him with all five fouls in the first half . I’d worry about Hill and Taylor. Especially if Duke comes out flat and decides to have a memory lapse on defense .

 

[christophero]

Gillis will get 14.

Duke 83

Double D, I tend to agree. Quick turnaround, and I see it fairly tight at least early on. I don't care what Jon or Proctor, Foster would say- it's a revenge game from the Elite Eight final.

Duke 73
State 54

[timo0402]

Would love this my friend!!

[christophero]

Proctor is the only one who played in last year's game.

 

[AlanInNJ]

That is a crazy stat Chris!! Geeze. Thats the state of CBB.

The offense will take care of itself. I want to see total lockdown defense and to hold State under 50 points.

[kingbluedevil]

I think we come out blazing tonight and Maluach has good game. With quick turnaround we need to play the bench a lot

This. Cooper is a true generational talent but Flip was widely successful during his two years and was a critical piece to bridge the K to Jon era.

 

[Dad2ze]

Duke has to come out strong. None of this bs where they act like a co-ed rec league team of 6 yr olds all chunking up shots. Crush them. Destroy their spirit. Make them regret wanting to come back out at halftime.

 

[hart2chesson]

Proctor is the only one who played in last year's game.

This is true Chris, and I knew Caleb's year ended EARLIER in the loss at Wake. Again I knew Proctor played in the State loss, and Foster was the only "regular" I could remember as part of the squad(albeit injured).

I guess Spencer Hubbard was a bench warmer, and maybe Stanley Borden was perhaps practicing with the team. Btw, help this senile old man out: Who was the Wolfpack center (really good player), taunting Duke fans in the crowd? Thanks dude! #GoDuke

Would love to see Harris play some extra minutes, and play well!!

OFC

 

[christophero]

DJ Burns was their fat center. I am sure whatever G League city he is in the McDonalds is doing good business. Kidding he was good he is playing in Korea.

Chris thanks much, and no doubt DJ's nearby Mickey D's is raking it in!!

We got 3 kids in the McDonalds AA game unless I am missing someone. The Wonder twins and the wing from Cali.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

This golf thing again? Wtf ESPN

 

[bullcity gamer]

I was about to say the same thing Blue!!!

 

[The_Only_Blue]

ESPN app says it's on ESPNU but I just checked and it's not on there either

 

[BluePhil]

Why are we watching pretend golf instead of real basketball. Espn is made up of idiots.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

We're on ESPNU

 

[christophero]

Prediction: even if we arre up 50 Stanley Borden will not play. Did that guy run over Scheyer's dog or something?

 

[bullcity gamer]

Virtual golf should be on PBS
