Solid game so far. Gotta finish strong.
What I like seeing is passing. Especially seeing Sion and Malik kicking out from the lane for the open 3. There is no higher % 3 than a kick out from in the lane by the basket.
Also love the veteran presence and defense.
Still a lot of Flagg but that’s how it is I suppose.
If Proctor and Knueppel can be consistent downtown and add in one or two others hitting open 3s we are in good shape.

19 point lead. I'm calling it. The only thing that would blow this lead is if they subbed me and Shey in.
21 point lead. Great game by the boys and coach C.

Gillis having some nice minutes in the last few games. I hope he's turned the corner.
I can't call anything until the under 4 up 20. I'm not superstitious, but I am a little stitious.
I’m getting a tech so I can go back to the bench lol. Man Dukes defense is so impressive .
Defense is absolutely special and that will carry to March.
Foster with some nice minutes today, too. I'm happy for that kid. I know we all want to see him turn that corner.
We are certainly looking like a 1 seed. 2 at the worst.
I love our defense. Best defense we've had since '14-'15.
Great game! Team definitely heading in the right direction. We missed a few shots and gave smu multiple chance to get back in, but no team is perfect and we answered back with strength. Big win, and those are going to be hard to come by with how bad the acc is
Didn't see the game but it sounds like SMU tried to bully us and we weren't having it. Our 3 transfers have really provided toughness and experience. Cooper and Proctor playing at a high level, and it sounds like Foster was solid.
Great win on the road. We didn't beat Incarnate Word. SMU is legit, and we bullied them in their place.
One of our most complete games of the season. Everyone played well. Glad to see Gillis and Foster get on track.
Dang. Gave SMU too much credit. We got some folks needing to eat crow in this thread
that game was a thumping that we controlled the whole way..I made fun of it being on the CW but outside the glitch I enjoyed the channel
I just edited my pre game prediction. I predicted a 25 point win.
Nice Q1 blowout win. Massive shoutout to Jai. His game planning on the defensive end has been elite.
Very impressive. Got out of the gate better, and that was the difference. Cooper is something else. Not sure of the often criticism on Kon. Probably hurt him playing so well the first couple games. He’s very solid. A smart player averaging 12, and he has a 4:1 assists to turnover rate.
Would been a better day if only ND could have hung on today vs the cheats
Yup. Honestly that may have been the nail in the coffin for them tournament wise….
This team just feels different than the last 2 years. Nice blend of youth and experience. More like the Banchero team, perhaps even better, although that remains to be seen.
Great Quad 1 Win for Duke’s Resume. The Team keeps Improving and Improving!!!

I can't remember a Duke team being this good on defense.
One thing is for sure, Coach Scheyer has had good defensive Duke teams his first 3 years at the helm.
This season, his team is Elite Defensively

I only predicted a 16 point win but I never thought this game would be much of a test.
I looked at SMU’s schedule 😬😂
They’ve not been challenged much….

If ND fouls UNC bringing the ball up they win. This loss is on the coach
I’m down with the CW also. Best part about it: no Jay Bilas, no Corey Alexander, no Jimmy Dykes.Dang. Gave SMU too much credit. We got some folks needing to eat crow in this thread

I can't help it. I'm a worrier, which is why my friends call me whiskers.Dang. Gave SMU too much credit. We have some folks needing to eat crow in this thread

Haha I’m just messing! I’m real life I’m normally in knots
life is a lot better when you study and evaluate things with a positive mindset!!!
It’s a game changer bleed. If you are into reading, my two favorite “self improvement” books are
Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*** - Mark Manson
Can’t Hurt Me - David Goggins
Those two books changed my outlook on the world and stress the importance of dominating one’s own mindset
I make the whole household nervous. But I've been trying to be better. If this team stays on this trajectory I may end up drinking hard liquor by tournament time, haha
Thanks for the recommendations! I read mainly horror and science fiction, some sports books, etc. But I will give those a try!
This is one of my personal goals this year. I have to get a positive mindset
