This year reminds me so much of the Paulus/McRoberts year. I'd be thrilled if we won 2 games.

My confidence level is at the lowest point it has been all season. I just feel like we're playing not to lose.
That’s the problem
To me we just seem to be asleep I don’t get it
No poise or maturity or consistency.
There is some talent (not a lot) but it’s also a poorly structured team imo.
A vintage Duke team this is not. Let's just get a W today.
I think they want to but they are very immature and don’t really know how to play with intensity but also relaxed. That is a sign of immaturity. There ain’t no Battier on this team. Not even a sophomore Battier.
Their talent is AAU good. But not 3-4 year “fighting hard to be a college basketball player” talent. But what’s new there? Same thing for a decade.
He’s so calm and nice. I’d just like to see him get a technical at some point!
How do we get it . It’s like UNC and State all over again .
Ryan comes in plays good physical defense. Guy dribbles it off his foot and he dives on the floor….
And then we take him out….got his :20 of playing time.

It’s obvious staff has made a point to dive on the floor. Dudes are hustling right now. This feels different than unc and nc state.
We need to penetrate and finish strong or kick to our shooters.
We don’t run squat on offense except stand there and hope the ball finds you.
We should pummel this team inside and that’s saying something because we suck inside.
Good. Slap the ******* floor. Although we shouldn't have to do that vs Vermont. I'm guessing the Brotherhood disapproves of floor slapping. It doesn't look cool. Love to see Ryan diving on the floor.
Mark playing his ass off. They can't stop him down low. Keep it up my guy
Flip is waiting now for the double. Get the ball and attack before the double comes.
They have stood him up….
Scheyer should be telling him the same thing.
When it works it’s like this team gets away from it .
Yes. Bully ball!!
Mark has been the only physical presence we have. He's playing his ass off
I’m not sure why anyone should be surprised at this game. This is how we’ve played all year long in games where the other team has been competitive.
And we are so young (in maturity, and not just age), as well as a dysfunctional team that relies on its raw talent to win. But that raw talent is inconsistent.
We will win this game, but not because we are a good team in anyway. Just bigger, faster, and more individually talented.

I just wish Roach would own the team…it’s his team! Play and act like it the entire game!
