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

[denverexpat]

Make Cryer have to drive...and the other guards...thats not their game....not sure why Foster got so many minutes....lock down the perimeter like we did to Bama....we also have to make more 3's....draw them out....and of course....limit the rebounds

 

[sheyduke]

Got to clean up rebounding and scoring

 

[christophero]

This is why Brown is crucial if the game is not a good Mal match up.

Duke has looked better when Foster has been on the court tonight.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

First few minutes second half will be telling. If they keep making 3s and rebounding we're playing with fire. Let's win the first 4 to the TV timeout

Duke has looked better when Foster has been on the court tonight.

Foster has looked good on defense and does have a bounce to him on offense. I just wish he would stop trying to score.

 

[dukesince91]

Just have to guard a little deeper and run them off the 3 point line. We will win going away if they have to shoot two’s.

 

[CbusDukie]

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

They are 9-29 from 2 and he is part of the reason for that but I do think you can go small more in this game - primarily because their bigs aren’t huge scoring threats.

No foul trouble so all systems are go. First 4 minutes are critical

 

[bullcity gamer]

Foster and Brown have given very productive minutes

Continue to take care of the basketball and stay aggressive Duke!

He’s 7’2. Needs more than 0 rebounds.

 

[dukeblue77]

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

 

[Mr.Scary13]

Starting 5 does not look good tonight.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Need to close out on Cryer!

 

[JimboSlice00]

Get Maliq in. Mal is gettin absolutely bullied. My goodness.

 

[CbusDukie]

Mal is lost in this game - gotta ride Brown

 

[JimboSlice00]

Starting 5 does not look good tonight.

Huh? Kon and Coop carrying the team?

 

[Mr.Scary13]

Huh? Kon and Coop carrying the team?

I guess you missed Mal and James. The starting 5 as a unit does not look good. We need more Foster and Brown

 

[dukesince91]

I thought Gillis would get more minutes tonight.

 

[CbusDukie]

Huh? Kon and Coop carrying the team?

Tyrese has missed some open looks, Mal has been lost and Sion had a rough first half

 

[JimboSlice00]

I guess you missed Mal and James. The starting 5 as a unit does not look good. We need more Foster and Brown

Guess you missed Coop and Kon are in the starting 5

 

[CbusDukie]

I thought Gillis would get more minutes tonight.

He gave some good minutes in the first half but I think he is a bit of a tweener for tonight.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Tyrese has missed some open looks, Mal has been lost and Sion had a rough first half

Yeah so I guess Kon and Coop don’t start?

 

[The_Only_Blue]

We won the first 8 min out the half. Let's keep it steady there next 4 minutes

 

[Jjallen]

give the ball to coop. I don’t care if he shoots or not but he has to get the ball every possession.

 

[christophero]

Up 13 ten to go. Bring it home boys!

 

[bleediteveryday30]

How is that not a foul?!

 

[dukesince91]

Nah, James didn’t get fouled.

 

[Mr.Scary13]

How in the hell is that not a foul?

 

[Mr.Scary13]

What a joke....

 

[jamsession2]

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

I'm glad Foster is here.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Going to be a flagrant 1 on Gillis.

 

[Jjallen]

if they call that a flagrant, I’m going to be upset. That is the definition of incidental

 

[The_Only_Blue]

That better not be as flagrant on Gillis

 

[Mr.Scary13]

Every time we push the lead out that throw up som BS that goes in.....

 

[christophero]

Sion has come alive like Peter Frampton.

 

[Mr.Scary13]

if they call that a flagrant, I’m going to be upset

You already know.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

If that's a flagrant could be 8 points

 

[KDSTONE]

Nah, James didn’t get fouled.

Incidental contact they say. Now they’ll call a flagrant on Gillis

 

[JimboSlice00]

That better not be as flagrant on Gillis

It will be

 

[CbusDukie]

Refs have been brutal the last 4 minutes - missed a push in the back on Cooper on a rebound and then Sion got fouled low on the block that sent him to the ground
