Official game day thread- Duke vs Stanford

One of those classic fun Saturday afternoons in Cameron Indoor Stadium. That big for Stanford sure is tough but the Cardinals couldn’t even make it remotely uncomfortable for Duke to run offense today.

Good to even this series at 2-2. Duke Nation had to stew on an 0-2 record (both 1 point losses with a high piss factor) vs the Cardinals from 99 until 2014 when Duke beat them in NY. Now a good ole whipping in Durham.

Auburn was so tough today against Bama. The Tigers are without a doubt Duke’s top win this season. And thanks for nothing Lennie, 25 points at home? Really?

I wish Blakes had played well so I could tease the rando who would’ve shown up to complain about how playing time would have kept him at Duke and we’d be undefeated now.
 
For all this height man are we bad at rebounding
It’s been weird since UNC, so 5 straight games, right?
Clemson is just a tough rebounding team and Cal and Stanford have some unusual talent for it, but still…
Have opponents been shooting more 3s? They tend to rebound long, which adds some guesswork to rebounding.
 
Dattier,

In the 1st half yesterday I observed countless times the Duke players were not boxing out and going for tip outs as opposed to boxing their man out and going up for the rebound with two hands

Ah. Thanks. The tip-out attempts have really stood out to me, too, now that you mention it.
 
If Proctor can maintain this pace, we are a set for a deep run in the tourney. Has he finally put it all together? Agreed 100% that Sion running point has been key!

I am looking forward to the Illinois game. It will be a good measure of where we really are right now.

Two favorite things from this game: no one played crazy minutes and Foster came in and looked like a 5* player playing against scrubs. Young man needed that and Duke will need him playing like that.
The coach for Stanford mentioned Foster and Evans in his presser meaning lot of talent to close a game. I think Foster will help a lot in some games he has the talent just got to be confident.
