Official game day thread- Duke vs Seattle U
- Thread starter pisgah101
- Start date
Defense is the bright spot of this team thus far.
It sure ain’t offense.
What are your predictions on Auburn and Illinois coming up? I've heard both teams are good. Auburn has beaten North Carolina, Iowa State and Memphis. Illinois lost to Arkansas. IF we can beat Auburn we could win both.

I am confident Duke wins both. Auburn will be the more challenging opponent imo, because the game is earlier in the season and Auburn is playing really well, I see the margin being no greater than 6 points either way. Duke against Illinois in NYC in late February I like Duke by 10+ points, because by then hopefully Duke will have a lot of their issues figured out and a stable rotation.
What are your predictions Chris?

I think we took two steps backwards tonight. Maybe we get this sh!t out of our system before the Auburn game.
I think we can win both. I also think Auburn can beat us. I'm not worried about not looking good today, long trip and Thanksgiving yesterday.
Good to great defense at times, ugly as hell offense, and we've also missed some easy shots you'd think we would typically knockdown. But our offense isn't scaring anyone right now.
Huh? He’s come in and given a scoring punch tonight and the other games he’s been given an opportunity. Granted, weaker teams, but he indeed provides a scoring punch.
Off the bench, outside of brown and Sion, who do you feel should have more minutes if not him?
In my opinion, Evans has shown he should get a shot when Kon or Gillis are out there shooting 0-45 vs good competition. Kid is talented and i saw nothing tonight to change my mind.
I don’t see this team coming close to beating Auburn. Shooting way too many 3s even against Seattle. They were 10-36 from 3 tonight. Most of those they could take 3-4 steps in and knock down a 2. Anyways…it’s Duke basketball. Live by the 3 and die by the 3.
Agree. Good news is we don’t play til Wednesday. The bad news is the team we play, plays an organized chaos style of ball.
Was out and about and just got done watching. Bad start. Maybe just tired/jet lag/ time zone change? We shot too many 3's again. Nice to see Evans get in the game during when it's not garbage time. Wished Harris got more burn. Is it me or does it seem he seem to be not into it? Maybe that's just the way he is?
One thing about Evans is you can tell he's not afraid to shoot the ball. Feel that he's very confident in his shot even if it doesn't go in
Found the 20 minutes condensed game and will give my impressions. I didn't see the game.
1. I know people are tired of hearing this but what offense are we running. I see 4 guys standing at the 3 point line on 3 straight possessions. Mal sets a weak screen; it doesn't get anyone open. Compare that to Zoubek's crisp ball screens.
2. Kon is playing very well.
3. Proctor playing with a lot of confidence.
4. Brown's D is impressive. He got beat and then blocked his man's shot from behind.
5. Sion with some tough D. He sticks to his man like glue.
6. Cooper making a point of driving but he's getting knocked around. He's good but the poor FT shooting could bite us.
Evans with a 3. I like his swagger.
7. Neat spin move by Foster. He also hit a 3. Good for his confidence.
8. Proctor is starting to look like an NBA guard. I don't think we see a junior Proctor.
9. Evans with the flush! This guy needs minutes, and I think he gets that. Jon said "he has earned the right to play." Good; we need his scoring.
10. I thought we looked pretty good considering. Auburn will be a war; I expect a close one.
