Other Games 24-25 Season

[christophero]

Sean Stewart with 5 points and 3 rebounds.
UCLA down 5 at the half to Wisconsin, who is back in the top 20 at 15-3. Could be an interesting 4 seed. Tie game now.
Louisville blowing out SMU. Cards much improved.
Texas leads Missouri in the second half. Mitchell an efficient 0-4 from the floor.
Alabama looks good they hung 100 on Vandy.
Iowa State scored 108 on UCF. Dawkins has not been back to the tournament since the Zion season. At 12-6 they likely won't go this year.

I’ve noticed teams have a lot of success against Unc in making the heels initiate the offense way above the 3 point line and the heels attempt to work their offense from side to side as opposed to trying to go downhill. Duke should give Unc FITS with their Defense

 

[The_Only_Blue]

Come on Wake. Close this out

 

[christophero]

UNC about to go to 12-8. NIT baby.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Not over yet. Wake doing stupid shit.

Lights victory cigar.

Woke up this morning...

 

[bleediteveryday30]

It's crazy that Wake had two fouls with 11 seconds left.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

Glad the cheats lost, but I hope we stomp the shit out of Wake on Saturday.

I didn't really watch the game until towards the end but I'm assuming that's all THR will be taking about.

 

[JimboSlice00]

Chests are going to need a dramatic turnaround to have a shot at getting in now.

Wake doesn't foul at home.

UCLA with a season saving win over Wisconsin.

UNC about to go to 12-8. NIT baby.

Hopefully Unc continues losing and gets invited to the College Basketball Invitational (CBI Tournament)

Or maybe there's a local CYO tournament? I am sure the could secure an 8 seed there!

Was happy Wake won for obvious reasons (UNC losing) but now they are overdue for a loss on Saturday as they have won 6 in a row. We owe them a beatdown after the fan hurt Flip last year in that building. I know Scheyer didn't forget.

I hate watching games in that building, the ugly floor combined with their gold uniforms just make for a bad viewing experience. Apparently Brown is getting back to on court practicing this week. I wouldn't expect him Saturday, but think he's fairly close to being back.

 

[bullcity gamer]

Awesome news about Brown Duke Dallas!

love Bobby but his brother Danny is a loud mouth jack ***

Wish Danny would have tried Juwuan Howard when Howard was coaching at Michigan

Just like most of America can't stand the Chiefs other than Chiefs fans, I think the same can be said for UConn. They have become insufferable with Danny. And the stuff he says is off the wall.

 

[christophero]

Wake is 16-4 and starts 4 seniors. Could be a battle. A win would likely get them in the dance.

 

[bullcity gamer]

Owe them from last season’s loss. Proctor/James will guard Sallis

 

[sheyduke]

Wake is going to be a battle in the backcourt. Think Dukes front court even without Brown is ahead of Wake’s but look for Sillis to have a strong game . Sion, Proctor and Foster will be a heavy rotation on him .

 

[kingbluedevil]

Wake won last night with their two best players going 12 for 34 no 3 pointers. Wake only made 2 three pointers for the game and had zero assists first half. Wake is not a good shooting team but they drive and put pressure on the defense. I don't think that plan will work against Duke.

I loathe the Queefs. And UCONN can go spit as well.

 

[kingbluedevil]

Danny Hurley is a joke

 

[christophero]

I think he could set the ref's car on fire and his job is still safe there.

 

[AlanInNJ]

Agreed, Danny has gone off the deep end. Kudos for back to back championships, that is super impressive. But he is the whiniest, most entitled coach in D1 and it's so annoying. Wish he had taken the Lakers job!

 

[bullcity gamer]

Maryland has scored 56 points inside the paint tonight at Illinois. Duke should make it an emphasis to attack the paint when they face the Illini in a month.

 

[DukeDallas9192011015]

Illinois is struggling mightily, really hope they are at least ranked when we play them.

I have read lots of chatter about Duke fans worried about the game at Wake tomorrow. Don't get me wrong, that arena is a tough place to play and I don't expect to get many calls. However, this Wake team is #75 in Ken Pom. In a "normal" ACC year, they would be below .500 in league play with no shot of making the tournament. We are supposed to be one of the best college teams of the past 10 years, we need to control this game and dominate them.

 

[bullcity gamer]

DukeDallas imo Duke would have to play a C level type game tomorrow to lose in Winston-Salem. Wake Forest was not impressive in their win against the cheats on monday and unc is horrid on defense. Wake does not have anyone who can match up with Flagg. Proctor/James/Foster will put the clamps on Sallis too.

 

[Mac9192]

Hope you guys are right about Wake. We've been off for a week, Wake isn't terrible, and Duke is coming to town. Their Super Bowl.

 

[Dad2ze]

Hope you guys are right about Wake. We've been off for a week, Wake isn't terrible, and Duke is coming to town. Their Super Bowl.

Agreed! I think they will be fine. Struggle early but should win by double digits.

 

[christophero]

We do seem overdue to get our a** kicked.

 

[DukeDallas9192011015]

We do seem overdue to get our a** kicked.

I disagree. I mean, we are due for a loss. However, the #'s say we are one of the best college teams of the past 10-20 years. Those teams never get their a** kicked, especially by a sub 50 Ken Pom team.

In most ACC seasons, this Wake game Saturday would be seen as one of the easier ACC games on the schedule. But since the ACC is so awful, we are worried about a road game against the #75 Ken Pom team. Frankly I think we are a bit bored. If we take an L, I think it'll be either at Clemson or at UNC. But that is a big IF.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

The metrics are skewed because of how they played in November and December. Wake has been a different team since January 1st. 6-0, and according to Bart Torvick, they're one of the top 30 teams during this span. They have the 30th-best defense in Kenpom. Sure, their offense has been poop at times, but they still have most of those guys who lit us up last year. Like Mac said, it's their Super Bowl and we better be ready.

 

[sheyduke]

The backcourt will be tested . Proctor , Sion, Foster, Kon and Evans will need to come to play . Dukes frontcourt even without Brown should be strong .

 

[kingbluedevil]

They really depend on 2 players to beat most teams. Our height should be a problem for them. Proctor remembers last year I think Duke wins comfortably in this game. They have nobody to guard Cooper. He may get 50

 

[kingbluedevil]

Evans played in this coliseum last year winning MVP in the 4a state championship. He should have some fans at the game.
