Official game day thread- Duke vs ND

I mean, if you compare those two teams the '20 team is way better than the '22 team when looking at the metrics.
bleed the 2019-2020 Duke team was a joy to watch. They were ranked #1 in November, lost at home to Stephen F Austin, beat Kansas in the Champions Classic, punked Michigan State at Michigan State, had some bumps in ACC play, had the exciting win at Chapel Hill, and really got it going in the latter part of the regular season. Roles were being defined and it was a team that had 3 scorers in Tre, Carey, and Stanley, Defenders in Tre, Goldwire, J Rob, Carey, and DeLaurier, slashers in Moore, J Rob, and Stanley, 3 point shooting, and a scoring punch off the bench in Hurt, O’Connell, White, Baker, and Moore. Good blend of experience and freshmen on the 19-20 Duke Team. Damn you Covid.

Chris, Stanley was drafted 54th Overall in the 2020 NBA Draft by the Indiana Pacers. Stanley is a frequent flyer between G League Teams to this day.
Stanley's athleticism was off the charts but unfortunate almost everyone in the NBA is just as or more athletic.
I've said this before, but the narrative that he "had to go pro" drives me nuts. He's in the G league. Another year of starring at Duke would not have helped his stock?
If Stanley is on that '21 team we definitely make the tournament.
Stanley is a guy whom would have benefited by coming back to Duke to Improve his stock.
Would have rather had a returning Sophomore Stanley to help Hurt, Goldwire, Moore, and company as opposed to the quitter of Jalen Johnson
When should we know anything about Maliq? I'm assuming they already did the tests/imaging today
I'd say probably on Tuesday before the game against Miami. Hopefully, it wasn't as severe as Jon thought.
I’m with you. That team was hitting it at the right time.
Exactly. I think they were winning the ACC Tournament and going to the FF. I know it's easy to play the what-if game with sports teams, but they had that "it" quality about them. We were also deep, played great offense, and D.
The 2019-2020 Season had a lot of parity and would have been a chaotic NCAA Tournament imo. Duke was headed for a 2-3 seed for that tournament and was one of many contenders to cut the nets down in 2020.
These were the contenders in no particular order heading into that tournament based off the eye test:
Kansas
Dayton
Duke
Kentucky
Baylor
Florida State
Louisville
Virginia
Gonzaga
San Diego State
Villanova
Michigan State

I felt bad all the way around but I really felt for that Dayton team
Been checking Twitter hourly for a Maliq update and still nothing. I pray he's just out for a couple games, we can afford to miss him the next couple weeks, but we will need him for the stretch run. It just wouldn't be a great Duke team without a stressful January injury.
I will remember that team forever. The regulation ending at UNC(to force OT), on a MIRACULOUS play designed by Scheyer and executed perfectly by Tre stands out forever. J-Rob was coming into his own at season's end, and I think we were a dark horse threat to make real noise in March!!
Jon Scheyer confirms that forward Maliq Brown will miss several weeks, if not longer, with his sprained knee.
"He'll miss an extended period of time here ... He's going to be out for the next several games here, minimum."
Pat Ngongba and Mason Gillis will be next men up.

Not the greatest news. Several weeks could mean mid-February in Duke language. But at least he didn't tear anything in his knee.

This sucks. But we can only hope it makes us better in the long run.
Smh. Season was going so smooth. Lucky the ACC is down and we have a deep bench. Just got to play smarter and not pick up cheap fouls.
Thankfully Brown did not experience a tear on his knee.
I enjoy long distance running and experienced a chronic acl sprain in my left knee in 2022. At the onset of the sprain it is painful and I went through physical therapy with therapists and having to do physical therapy at home as well.
Brown has access to a great medical staff at Duke so hopefully he can strengthen the muscles and tendons around the sprained knee asap.
Get Well Maliq!

Hope he gets well soon. I just expect it at this point. We are deep. Pat and Gillis will get more time.
"knocking on wood" but if Maliq being out a month is our worst injury of the season than that's not terrible. I mean, he's elite at defense but he still isn't a starter. This should allow Ngongba and Gillis some more time as we have some easy ACC games coming up "knocking on wood"
also, Brown is a selfless player who understands his role on this team. When he returns to the court it will be a seamless transition.
Hopefully this helps us in the long run. Also hopefully gives Maliq a chance to heal from his toe/foot injury as well.
We all know how this goes. I do not begrudge Jon for this, but he is notorious for being vanilla in what he tells the media about injuries. When he said a “few weeks or more”, we all know he’s going to be out for a long time. I just hope we see him again this year as the way he worded it is super concerning.
A Quick Look on google says a grade 1 is 6 weeks which puts us right into March. Not good.

Other Duke guys have missed 2 to 3 weeks with a sprained knee. Zion missed 22 days, Mitchell 14 days. So Brown should be out 8 years.
I would think early to mid Feb is the target.
It all depends on how strong the muscles and tendons are surrounding Brown’s Sprain. He will do a lot of stretching and band work initially. They’ll have him do leg curls, leg extensions, and balance work. He will do some goblet squats and in-out ladder step overs. When he is progressing through all the exercises mentioned above they’ll have him do work on stationary bikes/ellipticals and then have him do walk-run intervals on the treadmill.
No telling how long it’ll take Brown to rehabilitate, because everybody’s body responds differently.
He is a Division 1 Basketball Player though and has access to Duke’s Great Physical Therapists so they’ll have the right plan for him!
