📍 Cameron indoor
⏰ 12:00

I hate noon games and will miss this one live. We are back in action after the big L on Tuesday. Not much to say on this one, should be an easy W. Not sure we will be able to gather much from this one.

We are favored by 25.5

Duke- 102
Wofford- 58

Get Evans and Pat minutes is my wish. Harris too if possible. Real minutes, not just running around with Hubbard in the last 4 minutes.

If Pat is available, I'd love for us to swap out the whole starting lineup at the first or second tv timeout. Replace them with Pat, Maliq, Gillis, Evans and Harris (assuming Sion is out)

I would love to see this too, I mean WTH? Nice blend of veterans with freshmen who really deserve some burn. I mean we were consistently told how great those freshmen were, right. Give them meaningful (not mop-up), minutes.

Hard to discern how we will come out. Roaring like a tiger or going thru motions? Nonetheless I will pick us to cover, 91-64.


OFC

Gotta play your bench here. They gotta get some minutes and experience.

Duke - 87
Wofford - 58

According to Elizabeth King Forum Sion is participating in warm ups but has no jersey. I'm assuming he will be held out for precaution.
Edit: Sion is in the game. Good news
Up 9-2. Proctor has 6 and Kon 3.
All our points have come from 3's.
Now 26-7. Proctor with 9.
At the 10 minute mark 8 have played.

Comer on Jon. Let's get Harris and Evans some burn.

 

[christophero]

Big Pat in and he scores!!! He also got a rebound.
33-7 now.

 

[christophero]

Evans is in. Evans with 5 quick points.

 

[christophero]

Having big Pat is huge. Even 5 minutes a game or for foul trouble. He is a widebody.
Harris in. We are up 51-14 at the half.
Evans with 8.

 

[kingbluedevil]

We need this every game. Not a player off the bench yet I don't feel confident in

 

[christophero]

11 playing is not realistic, but with Pat and Evans 10 could be done. Evans is instant offense.
Pat now has 3 rebounds.
Mal with 11, Foster with 10 points.
61-17.

I know it’s Wofford, but a really great showing today. A lot of promising stuff. Evan’s and Pat playing well is super encouraging

 

[LetsGoDuke83]

We’re up 50 with 5 to go and the starters are in. Can we please get Harris and evans some more pt or we know what’s gonna happen

 

[christophero]

No real takeaways it's Wofford but glad Sion is ok and Pat and Evans played.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Played the bench. Big Pat got some burn. Looked good in stretches on defense. I loved the ball movement. Nice bounce-back win!

 

[bleediteveryday30]

The fewest points a Duke team has allowed in a game in the shot clock era!

 

[bullettoothtony]

I don't understand why Evans doesn't play more. If he gets crap minutes all year and ends up transferring I will be furious.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

1- Jon has to find ways to get Evans more playing time.
2- Glad to have Pat in there. He had so many tip outs from missed shots that have us second chances and seems to have pretty good vision for a big man..
3- Let's go and beat Zona next week.

 

[christophero]

Quick scout of Arizona. Their strength seems to be their 3 guards. Love is one of them. One thing that stuck out is their size; 2 seven footers and a few 6-8 guys in the rotation. They just lost to Wisconsin. They seem to be a solid, sweet16ish type team. They have some experience. Should be a good game.

If Evans simply plays half way decent on offense with garbage minutes he’s still gone. He’s got a quick release and I believe we see him in more games . Big Pat still needs conditioning but his awareness to tap the ball back out was good. I think he had for tap outs back to a Duke player .
