Just stay healthy and my hopes for a fun March are starting to return. Someone tell me, did Flip do something like slit a ref's tires after a game or something like that and I just missed it?

It certainly appears Jon knows how to develop a team as the year progresses. That's a huge quality as you want your team peaking late, not too early. We're clearly playing our best hoops. Mitchell, Lively and Proctor REALLY stand out!!
We are a team that CANNOT take the foot off the gas. State is going to be ANGRY after the Clemson embarrassment, and think they can take it out on us.We can't give them a chance. Carry the fight to them, box out, get the 50-50 balls, run our offense with good spacing and we should be OK. We owe them!! OFC

Another thing to point out: we have had a point in our last three blowout wins where we get out to a double digit lead and then we see that lead shrink to single digits. We have responded and pushed the lead…
Chapel should be COY in the ACC hands down. But if Pitt was still Pitt, this year is a perfect example of why those awards should be voted on after the tournament…

Everyone is getting healthy. The rotation is solid too.
He's proving all the doubters wrong. Of course, with each loss, the armchair warriors come out in force. It's his first year. The team has dealt with a plethora of injuries. I'm happy with where Duke is at. I'm hoping for no let-up.
Mitchell has been playing his game as of late . Taking the open three and going straight at the basket . You also are beginning to see him and Flip pass the ball off instead of forcing the dribble for a turn over.
Think Blakes is out the rotation simply because the mask effects his vision .
Stay healthy and continue to grow .

I agree with all the above. Blakes may get some pt come tournament time. Roach and Proctor's chemistry is solid.
Mitchell discovered his position and got comfortable with it.
Just had some lunch and read through this thread. A lot of great points being made. Some hilarious comments too like the one above about keeping Jon.
We’ve said it on the podcast but this team is trending gentlemen. Let’s get this one Tuesday and see what happens next weekend.

Hoops after dark unanimously, between Duke, UK and Cheats, had us buy, UK hold, and Cheats sell...
Nice to see the team coming together. It did coincide with the easy part of our schedule, but we beat who we were supposed to beat. The next 2 games it amps up. We could go 2-0 this week, but we could go 0-2 as well. UNC seems to be getting their act together just in time for when they play us. Hopefully the Syracuse win gives us some confidence on the road. Proctor and Lively have really made strides the last few weeks. Whitehead has regressed a bit, we need to get him back on track. He just seems very tentative at times. Roach had a great game, as did Mitchell. After last year it would be really, really nice to sweep UNC.

Got a chance to watch the replay....a lot of good things happened for us for a change! The defense ( until garbage time) was really good...definitely looking more fluid lately
