***OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD- GTHC***

an ill advised drive thats blocked, no defense on Bacot and then a throw away turnover....Flips last 3 possessions....he needs to improve his Basketball iQ...the momentum switched thanks to those 3 consecutive plays....he's good but play within the team
 
Flip had to settle down. Defense looking very good. Keep fighting. Let’s get to halftime with a lead. Even if it’s 2 points. I like that Jon is getting starters some rest. We will wear them down.

I like Flip but I have never seen a guy have so many 4-12 type games. He is a good rebounder but has trouble scoring on good teams. He's had a nice year, but he can be very inefficient.
 
Whitehead really screwed us up there. Carolina looks primed for a run
 
We are playing well considering the environment. You cannot breath on Bacots ugly mug or you'll be called. It pisses me off so much

we are our own worst enemies at times...2 end of the shot clock 3's ....no pts....leading to 4-0 for them....need to be smarter
 
Two terrible shots from roach and proctor take away our momentum to push it to double digits 😫
 
Need to cut back on silly turnovers and attack the basket more . Going to be a tight second half .

2 point lead. So far so good. Flip played better in the last few minutes, until that last play. . Roach 2 for 8. Need to be a little better junior captain. Young and Mitchell with some solid play. Proctor looked good. Comon let's finish this!

I don't have a problem, actually like the idea of that being an offensive foul call, that was called on Roach. But that is never called right so horrible call...
 
Lively with 0 points and 2 rebounds. We need more to come out with a W. Whitehead and Grandison too.

A lead at halftime. I’ll take it. We played just okay. I think Roach is going to come out strong and lead us to a win. Flip just needs to play within himself.

Our defense has been very good.

I would love to see us attack the rim on every possession.

Lively and Whitehead one basket between them. These two could be the difference in the second half. They need to step up.
3 fouls on Lively. Damn.

For the LIFE of me, I do not understand why Duke coaches do not strongly impress upon the players that dribble and shoot 3s are a bad percentage shot. Yet we continually do that. Game after game, year after year.

Catch and shoot 3s are statistically a far higher percentage shot.

It's one thing if the opponent has played great D and you have to get a shot off before you get a shot clock violation.

I just don't get it. Pass the ball.
 
Man that flip kid sucks. Should’ve been an and one but what can you do?
 
Officiating here sucks. Several bad calls. IT's almost as if Duke is punished for having a rookie coach.
 
We’ve maintained a lead since midway thru the first half. Push push push. Let’s go Duke!!
 
Reeves better start stretching. He might be able to help if he had played since Countdown to Craziness.
