Official Gameday thread- Duke vs Miami II

[Fourteen44]

Welp. We came out sleepwalking. Unbelievable.

Let’s regroup and get back into this.

Gonna be tough to get back. Miami wants it more.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

We're missing some really easy shots. Guys need to calm down

 

[IFaZe]

Roach is so close to be great ….

 

[AlanInNJ]

Agreed 14. We’ve got to find some energy. Our guard play is so important and Roach and Proctor are passive and weak tonight. Miamis ball pressure is very good too.

How many bunnies are we gonna miss??

So looks like out of Jekyl and Hyde...Hyde turned up. We are bigger but not giving the ball to our bigger players, we insist on driving into trouble against a guard heavy team...seems logical. On defense we are still man to man yet they are quicker than us so can drive past our bigs. We dont seem to have a good strategy at all in this game so far. Not taking our advantages where we should and playing to their strengths.

 

[BluePhil]

Huh? I drink during the week and get up at 4:30 every morning. Suck it up butter cup 😆. I think we are the same age .

 

[K-oach Q]

Welp, I sense another nc state type game. Turned it off and heading to the airport. Cheers!

Man so negative after only 2:30 minutes of game action.

 

[BluePhil]

I like the fight in the dog, but we need to turn that to points.

 

[K-oach Q]

Physically they are playing hard…they are mentally drained. That’s why all these crazy mistakes.

If we can keep it under ten at the half we will have a shot. They will lock in better….we have to get through this stretch though.

If we are down fifteen to twenty it’s game over.

 

[denverexpat]

10 points in 12 mins aint going to get er done. We are getting outhussled at this point

 

[LetsGoDuke83]

Reality of a young team on the road

 

[Duke Blu]

Proctor look shook.

 

[BluePhil]

Well getting out toughed

 

[sheyduke]

This could become really ugly !

 

[Alaskan_Assassin_21]

Comeback

Let's go

 

[denverexpat]

Its not like Miami is shooting well...we just cant hit a bucket to save our lives...get the ball to the basket with Flip and Lively

 

[BluePhil]

Down to single digits by the half. Let's get it.

 

[christophero]

We have come out flat. Shocking.

 

[sheyduke]

We have come out flat. Shocking.

And scared! For Christ sakes dunk the ball take the foul .

 

[tcoyle34]

Turnovers and missing easy layups, jesus christ

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Sloppy sloppy sloppy. Couple stops and scores and maybe we can get it close to 10 at the half.

 

[Duke Blu]

I think i have seen enough lol i cant watch the boys if they just going to throw the ball to the other team all night. Missing shots is one thing but i have little to no patience for weak ball handling

 

[sheyduke]

Turnovers and missing easy layups, jesus christ

This is the tale of the game so far for Duke !

 

[christophero]

I enjoyed those 15 minites we were ranked

 

[denverexpat]

our guards are 2-12 with 7 TOs...proctor is absent....if we cant score outside go inside...we are bigger!! It might be time to adjust our game plan but havent seen any changes yet...

 

[BluePhil]

We better come out with a different team in the second.

 

[Duke Blu]

i love Young but Lord he is un-athletic lol just rolling around

 

[AlanInNJ]

Get it to 10 at halftime and we have a chance.

Our guards have been rough tonight. Need to regroup at half. Proctor back to early season form. Need him to step up.

 

[tcoyle34]

Dan Shulman is incredibly annoying to listen to when Duke is losing

 

[christophero]

Are we even a top 100 team on the road? Good Lord.

 

[The_Only_Blue]

We played as bad as we could first half. Let's hope we get it together second half and not get blown out.

 

[sheyduke]

No. Duke is not a top 25 team .

 

[JimboSlice00]

Well this isn't good. Hoping this is just a unc hangover and we compete the second half. At some point, we are going to need another quad 1 win for the resume

 

[christophero]

Hopefully lots of scouts in attendance to see how ready our guys are.

 

[pisgah101]

We’ll win

 

[denverexpat]

About what i expected....hard to get up for a road game after such an emotional win Saturday, and it showed...a more experienced team would have handled it better. Our gameplan, if there is one, is a mystery given they are guard heavy and we have vulnerability there. I'd like to see some zone or something to make them think....we've played into their hands. I'm sure Larranaga is happy with how we've played so far.

 

[christophero]

40 to 26 at the half. Well that just happened. I hope we compete in the second half. I dont mind losing, but getting steamrolled on the road is getting old.

 

[AlanInNJ]

Sloppy turnovers. Lazy rebounding. Sleepwalking. Win or lose but dang it show some fight. Let’s see if Jon can motivate them and get them going.

 

[AlanInNJ]

I really feel like we could be down 25. We aren’t.

We have played zone. It’s what we are doing on offense that has us down 14. We scored on 2 consecutive trips once all half.

Our guards have been really bad.
