Pretty self explanatory. Don’t turn the ball over. No cheap fouls and hit our second chance threes. Get out of there with a W and keep the momentum going.

LETS GO DUKE! GTHCGTH

Duke- 81
Unc- 79
 
A great opportunity to sweep them, take back the rivalry, and put them on the wrong side of the bubble. Both teams have looked better lately, especially us. Need Lively to stay on the court for 25 minutes. If Roach and Proctor continue our good play I like our chances, but this one could go either way.
 
I think it’s gonna be a dog fight back and forth. I’m not worried about our front court, they just need to do their thing. Roach and Proctor have been playing very well. Their play will decide the game tonight one way or the other. I like our growing confidence and I think we take care of business.

Duke 77
UNC 72
 
Something is missing in this UNC team, and I can't quite put my finger on it. It's not just that Mansk is gone, he wasn't THAT good. Obviously they are talented, but they don't seem to have the same fire they had down the stretch last year. You'd think they would have a chip on their shoulder after blowing that lead in the title game, but they have played like they were happy to get that far. If that changes tonight, we are in trouble. I think tonight is more about them than us. If they remain the same team we should win. But if they flip a switch and become last year's team then I think they win. Maybe they don't play well being the hunted. Maybe they tightened up like we did in our last two games against them.

Well, there just may have been truth to the rumors about friction between Love and a teammate over a girl. As far as I know that rumor was not started by opposing fans but came directly from Cheat boards. I kinda agree with you. They do miss Manek but that alone doesn't explain their troubles.
 
Jay Williams says UNC can win the national title. Why do our former guys feel the need to slobber all over them? Their guys certainly don't do it to us. There should be an option to be able to hear the game without announcers. I don't think I can take 3 hours of Bilas and Vitale. Are they doing the game?

At least it isn't a late game. I hate waiting all day.

Does anyone know who the officials are for todays game? That probably is the most deciding factor and who we really need to be concerned with and plan for. OFC

Yup agreed. Let Ryan body up on Bacot and wear on him for 12-14 minutes to spell Lively and keep him out of foul trouble. Ryan is a solid contributor who IMHO knows his role on this team. And I don’t think he’s an offensive liability. He gets a good number of O rebounds, he’s got good post moves and he’s a good FT shooter.

Guards, Guards, GUARDS! Let’s get it done!
 
If Love/Davis hit the 3 ball we are in trouble...if they have a typical night vs on fire we win. We cannot go 2-20 from 3 though...I think we have improved since the last game...they've had a good run...going to be a close game
Duke by 3
 
Once again I won’t be able to watch live. Damn shame I’ll miss KoachQ’s positive expertise…..
He’s resigned for the year since we’ve been winning. He will be back next year if we lose a couple games early and then gift us all with his supreme knowledge of the game of basketball. He just needs to shut the hell up and stick with his swimming lessons.
 
Eat an extra one for me! I’ve been dealing with a kidney stone for almost 2 weeks. I had it crushed on Monday and am still trying to pass the pieces. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.
Yes know exactly what you're dealing with. It sucks

Man a win would be nice just hoping the reffs call a decent game and the guys play hard
 
I think this game is fairly big for us. For seeding, for Jon, for the team's confidence. There is a general vibe that we can't win big games on the road that we could exorcise tonight.
 
Duke the third seed if wins and Clemson loses. 4. If wins and Clemson wins and Pitt wins. 5. If loses OR Wins and Miami wins and Clemson wins
 
The line is up to 4.5 FWIW. People don't believe in us on the road. Let's change that.
 
We look tight. Down 5 already. Comon. At this rate we will score 16 points.
Roach for 3. Allright.
Okay we've settled down.
First foul on Lively.
First on Bascot.
