Official game day thread- Duke vs SMU

[pisgah101]

📍 SMU
📺 the CW 🤡
⏰ 2:15

Tomorrow feels like a joke, conference game at 215 on the freaking CW against a team in Texas.. this worlds nuts.. anyway I hope we welcome SMU to the ACC power with style. We are currently a 7.5 point favorite over the 11-2 mustangs

Duke- 89
SMU- 67

Upset alert.
Would be a big road win.
I just don't know.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

This will be tough. Duke, but I'm concerned.

 

[Tik Tok]

Where can a guy with dish watch this game?

 

[kingbluedevil]

I think Duke wins and covers

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Unchartered territory so I have no clue. Just win. Let's go Duke

 

[dukesince91]

Like others have said, who knows. It will take a while to get used to SMU being in the ACC.
I’ll take a guess and say Duke 71 - 65.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Need to come out to a good start for once. Quad 1 opportunity which we won’t get often so a game we have to win if we want a top 2 seed come march.

Duke 76
SMU 71

Duke 80

It will take a while to get used to SMU being in the ACC.

By the time we get used to it, they'll be in a different conference.

It’s hilarious to me we act like the ACC is down but we expect every game to be close lol

It’s like this almost every year. We go from “we are so loaded” in July, to “I hope we come out ready or we could lose” in December.

We should cover, but I’m still a little skeptical myself.

 

[christophero]

Not to add to anyone's anxiety but someone on DBR mentioned the team has been hit hard with the flu. This just feels like an L. Win and we are very fortunate.

 

[LetsGoDuke83]

Can’t afford a slow start today

 

[sheyduke]

SMU runs a deep bench and so wearing them down isn’t going to happen . Will need the starters to score the ball. Duke wins but it will be a battle .

Come on now

 

[christophero]

This is what happens when i post before coffee.

 

[AlanInNJ]

If we shoot 12% on 30 three point attempts on the road in this environment, this is a loss. This is SMUs national championship game. Otherwise, I think we take care of business and pull away in the final ten minutes. Our defense should (I said should) hold them to a season low scoring. Evans puts in 5 3’s off the bench.

Duke 72
SMU 59

 

[Dad2ze]

This game could go either way. This will be a good test of what they have. If they start chunking up 3s it could be a long day. Evans needs more minutes especially if Kon is playing like hot trash. I think Duke squeaks out a win.

Duke - 71
SMU - 63

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Jon is out with an illness.

 

[Dad2ze]

With Jon being out this should be interesting on how they handle change.

 

[ioliva]

Is it just me or after proctor cut his hair he looks faster stronger more confident and drives tougher? Lol bros more aerodynamic now

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Cornrows Proctor!!!!

 

[ioliva]

Where can a guy with dish watch this game?

Switch to YouTube tv and thank me later

 

[Dad2ze]

Switch to YouTube tv and thank me later

Truth!!!! I shoulda switched long ago.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Nice start. Then we got three happy and let them back in.

 

[christophero]

Who is the coach? Carrawell? Just got home, game is not on.

 

[christophero]

Box score: Duke by 9.
Cooper with 15, Proctor 8. Looks like Gillis is continuing his good play.
So far, so good. Never mind he's playing.
Looks like Kon is out sick.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Who is the coach? Carrawell? Just got home, game is not on.

Carrawell.

 

[christophero]

9 point lead at the half. Impressive.
Brown has been very quiet. I know he hurt his toe. nothing but zeros in the box score.

 

[sheyduke]

9 point lead at the half. Impressive.

Should have been more but Kon is not playing well after he hit his three. Need to get the guards going . Miller can really get going in the second need to contain him and this will be an easy W.

 

[dukesince91]

Giving up too many offensive rebounds leading to a lot of second chance points. Overall a really good first half.

 

[christophero]

Sion with 7 assists. He is providing good play as the PG.
Duke by 12.

 

[Dad2ze]

Are they using the servers from the Paul/Tyson fight?

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Are they using the servers from the Paul/Tyson fight?

It's about as good as Brian Oliver's commentary.

 

[christophero]

17 point lead. Damn we are cruising. Upset alert cancelled.

 

[KDSTONE]

9 point lead at the half. Impressive.
Brown has been very quiet. I know he hurt his toe. nothing but zeros in the box score.

He should get assists for some of those screens he sets. Excellent pickup by Jon and crew

 

[bleediteveryday30]

17 point lead. Damn we are cruising. Upset alert cancelled.

16 mins a lot of time, Chris.

 

[christophero]

Cooper has really become an alpha the last few games. Proctor too.
17 point lead, 12 minutes to go.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

And now there goes the 19 point lead.
