Official game day thread- Duke vs NC St

[The_Only_Blue]

We let a bad shooting team get confidence. Hopefully we geta couple stops and get it to within 5 before the half.

 

[sheyduke]

State can’t miss and we can’t buy a basket right now . Got to run them off the perimeter but this isn’t playing into Dukes favor.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

I don't think you can say we've regressed when we've won 13 straight and just won a huge road game. We were just blowing everyone out up until Saturday.

 

[christophero]

No I can say that.

 

[AlanInNJ]

Keep calm and carry on. Flagg will come out angry in the second half and no way state shoots at this clip second half.

 

[dukecorey]

Last two games Duke regressed, especially offensively

 

[christophero]

I think we will win
We just need to be better.

 

[denverexpat]

4pt game...better than we could have asked for

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Not sure how we've regressed on a 13 game win streak.

 

[christophero]

Because the ACC is bad. We are inconsistent. We just need to improve. Not a huge deal bur we are relieved to be down 4 to State.

 

[Mac9192]

Twenty minutes left. If this team didn’t realize teams get up for them, they should by now. After all that, only down four.

 

[Friction.]

Guys just look really tired for some reason. Seemed that way against Wake too.

 

[dukecorey]

My statement was the offense against but Wake and State has not been very good. Defense definitely won the game for Duke against Wake. Need a huge defensive effort this second half.

 

[GhostOf301]

Duke is like a cat playing with its prey before finishing them off. Give them hope that they will be let go. Problem is, sometimes the prey gets away.

Will take being down 4 at the half considering the circumstances. Kick their ass in the 2nd.

We don't normally play 2 games in three days and our starters had to play too many minutes Saturday

 

[sheyduke]

Duke’s offense this entire season has looked like a work in progress. Nothing new here. You either make your shots or miss them . Duke missed them.

 

[kingbluedevil]

It's time to stomp a mud hole in states azz second half

 

[christophero]

I'm unplugging been a long day. Let's go Duke

 

[The_Only_Blue]

First few minutes will determine how much of a battle we're in. Let's effing go!

 

[sheyduke]

Duke needs more help from others not named Kon and Flagg.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Cooper! 19-2 run from the 1st half to now.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

And who's bright idea for the mascot to have "warm up" game on the head band. I saw they changed it up second half but they better not wear that ever again. Throws that crap in the garbage

Horrible idea.

 

[ioliva]

Thankful we recovered but nerve wracking that we still come out super cold. Shouldn’t happen at home vs a bad nc state squad

 

[ioliva]

I know what’s wrong with proctor… his fro. He was a different player with corn rolls. He was a different dude when he cut his hair.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Just have to sneak out with a W. Zero style points at this point. Cooper going to have to take over.

 

[dukesince91]

That foul on James was horse sh!t. Moving screen.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

It's going to be a battle to the end.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Corey Alexander annoys the shit out of me.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Styles has fouled out about 12 times and only has 4 fouls.

 

[dukesince91]

I liked big Pat’s foul on Middlebrooks.

 

[dukesince91]

Yep the refs have been ass.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Yep the refs have been ass.

It's awful

 

[youngman42]

Kon drives me nuts.

Dude has to play more unselfish. He tries too many one on one plays. He gets a ton of passes for 3s off of other players drives and kick, but he rarely returns the favor. If he drives, its about a 98% chance he's shooting, whether a good or bad shot he's putting it up. SMH. Excellent 3 point shooter but he also costs us and in close games that will hurt us down the road.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Cooper!

 

[dukesince91]

Big Ralph getting pissed too.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Yep the refs have been ass.

Lee Cassel is on the floor. What do you expect?!

 

[dukesince91]

He must have twin brothers too. They all suck ass.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Up 7 and Kon out of control and takes a terrible shot. They come down and hit a 3. Killer for us.

 

[youngman42]

We always struggle, if not outright suck, vs NCSU.

Ticks me off. I hate State almost as much - but certainly not as much - as UNC.
