Official game day thread- Duke vs Seattle U

Mal needs the minutes but can the guards find him down low. I can say at least six times Mal has been wide open and the guards simply aren’t looking for him . He did play the least amount of minutes last night of all starters (15) and still had nine points .

Quick point on Evans . He did have nine points to go along with two fouls and two turnovers in 18 minutes of play . No assist, no rebounds ) . He was 2-7 from 3 at 28.6 percent shooting . And one for two on free throws. Dukes entire guard line up outside of Kon on offense and Sion on defense can really do better .
 
Heck of A Day for Duke Athletics!

Duke Football finished the regular season with a record of 9-3 and should be awarded A Big Bowl Game

Duke Women's Soccer will be competing in an All-ACC Final 4 for The Women's College Cup when they face rival, North Carolina. Wake Forest and Stanford will join them in Cary, North Carolina, next weekend

Let's Go Duke!

Evans had 2 steals but 2-7 is better than 0-8 that Kon had game before. I think we wear out Kon playing 37 minutes as a freshman and getting Evans experience is only going to help in March

But Kon also has to learn to be more than a shooter which he was in the Kansas game . If you make each of these players one dimensional they become easier to guard. Evans is getting experience I just think there is a reason you build key players now . I agree Evans should be getting some minutes. I’d like to see how he does if he gets in against Auburn . Don’t see him having two steals in the stat column .
 
No offense to Gillis, but he hasn’t done much. Nor has Foster. And Kon doesn’t need to play 37 minutes, so that should open up some opportunity for Evans.
I’m not sure Gillis has done nothing . He is rebounding and when he did come in for Purdue it was mainly to defend and shoot the three. I agree with there being no need for Kon to play 37 minutes of 40. But I’m not sure any of the starters see top 25 teams outside of UNC when it gets into conference play so I would think the strategy is let them see adversity early because you have plenty of time to build your bench in conference play . I see big Pat getting a couple minutes every game after Auburn to build his confidence as well .
