Official game day thread- THE final four- Duke vs Houston

[Jjallen]

Brown just makes winning plays.

So does kon

 

[denverexpat]

Odd line up....Foster bailed out by Kon on those FTs...got to make the easy ones

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Foster can't be missing free throws like that. Glad we got it back with the tip from Maliq

 

[denverexpat]

Hard to get into a flow when they have 3 TV TOs in 45 secs of game time...smh

 

[denverexpat]

What is Gillis thinking with the quick 3???

 

[dukeblue77]

Offensive boards killing us!

 

[JimboSlice00]

Mal playing really soft

 

[Mr.Scary13]

The second unit looks much better

 

[dukeblue77]

Without the offensive of boards Houston works have under 10 points.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

That was a terrible shot by mason

 

[dukesince91]

Maluach reverting back to his play in December. This is more of a game for Pat and Brown.

 

[jamsession2]

Rebound, layups and box out.

 

[christophero]

Houston wants to make this a rock fight.

 

[Mr.Scary13]

Without the offensive of boards Houston works have under 10 points.

All of their boards are coming against out big lineup. I'd roll with the small ball for awhile

 

[christophero]

This is why we needed Brown back.

 

[dukesince91]

I’ll take that from Maluach. Make me eat my words.

 

[dukesince91]

Brown has given us a huge boost.

 

[dukeblue77]

I’ll say it again without Houston’s offesnsive boards they would have 10

 

[ioliva]

If foster had some offense we’d be up 20

But he’s had some tough boards and strong defense

 

[denverexpat]

Foster needs to just concentrate on defense and not try to score....he is effective but not on the offensive end

 

[Jjallen]

If foster had some offense we’d be up 20

I think he got hacked in the lane. That said, if the ball doesn’t touch coops hands, then we did something wrong.

 

[dukeblue77]

Would love to be up by double digits at the half.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Foster needs to just concentrate on defense and not try to score....he is effective but not on the offensive end

Foster needs to adopt to the way Maliq playa. Defense rebounding and layups.

 

[CbusDukie]

I think he got hacked in the lane

He has given you more than Sion - moment feels a little big for James right now

 

[CbusDukie]

Think you get to 60 you win

 

[JimboSlice00]

As others have said, Caleb has played really good defense and is hitting the glass. Every time he drives, something bad happens though.

 

[dukesince91]

Coop - damnnnn

 

[denverexpat]

Come on Proctor...Cryer is their go to guy...

 

[ioliva]

Unreal shooting from cryer. But it’s ok we played a better half than the score shows

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Damn needed that shot at the end by Proctor. Wide open

 

[JimboSlice00]

Should be easily a double digit lead.

 

[Jjallen]

Not sure what you do when they make 3s that deep. Need those to stop going in.

 

[denverexpat]

We have to know they want to shoot the 3's ...just poor defense on those last 3 defensive plays, make them drive not allow them space...just throwing the lead away by lack of concentration

 

[Mr.Scary13]

Houston lucky last couple of mins. Duke just needs to play small ball most of the 2nd half and win by 15.

 

[AlanInNJ]

We got this.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Mal has 0 rebounds. He’s 7’2. Roberts has 8- this has to change.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

We are playing their game, and now they're hitting their 3s.

 

[christophero]

Closer than I'd like but still up 6

 

[Mr.Scary13]

Mal has 0 rebounds. He’s 7’2. Roberts has 8- this has to change.

Duke is not playing well with him or James on the court. The team looks slow going for rebounds. Mal needs to sit IMO quite a bit in the 2nd half.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

We should be up 10-12. I don't feel good at all.
