There was a point in the game that I thought the same thing. I would've liked to have seen Amile and Harry in at the same time, especially on the defensive end when they kept driving on us.I thought we fought and took some punches. In the end I think we lost due to poor execution and game plan don't the stretch. Not a way we lose often.
I was mad, I've moved on. Biggest goal still well within reach.
Will say I thought tonight was a night 2 bigs should have seen minutes together. This 7 is wearing out. Allen is severely hobbled. Like should not have played. No way we don't have options on the bench to compete with an avg Cuse team.
Yea if it were any other team those luck shots would not have gone in but because it's Duke they go in. SMH!poor 3 point shooting at the worst time and two piss shots by cuse.
If Grayson hit that shot the same people tearing him down would be calling him a stone-cold killer. Was it a great shot? No. But Grayson has made some of those before. Good players take difficult and clutch shots.
I thought we lost because we got away from getting Tatum touches down the stretch. He doesn't need to shoot, but he wasn't even a part of our offense.
Also, we just missed on too many opportunities in that first half. The lead should have stretched out to double-digits but we didn't capitalize.
Lastly, we need Grayson to get out of this funk. We can't be really good unless he becomes really good again.

I think the reason we lost is because we shot the ball poorly and couldn't play any kind of D in the second half. OFC
It's still a bad shot whether he made it or not. Just like the shot against Carolina was bad. He just made it though. He has to recognize that Tatum and Kennard are the people that were on and should take that shot. It was a bad decision.
This is true. I wanted Tatum or Luke with the ball tonight but next game it might be Grayson and Tatum and the next Luke and Grayson.. we have three players capable of carrying us but not always all on the same night
I still have no problem with Grayson shooting a 3, I don't care how many he's missed. He was bad tonight but I still think everytime he shoots it can go in. He's off right now but this loss ain't all on him. If you're open Grayson keep shootingI just don't know what Grayson was thinking. It shouldn't have been that close but why would he even shoot that 30 foot three with 10 seconds on the shot clock. That UNC dagger has gone to his head
not one player - execution and discipline from the whole team. First half we should have been up 20 easily...that would have hurt Cuse's confidence and been a comfortable lead. But we blew all our odd man fast breaks and chose some terrible shots..lead was only 8. Second half we lost all semblance of organization on the defensive end, no determination or even a glimpse that they were mad when they got beaten on the dribble. We made average guards look like Curry and Westbrook for goodness sake. Add in the hope and pray 3 pt contest and we let Cuse get into the game and win it. One thing old roy does at least is play a deeper team if the top players are not producing or playing poorly he isnt afraid to play his bench....its just not something Coach K does and sometimes i think the players need to know a lax effort has consequences.
K is going to do things his way. I agree with you. As brilliant as he is, and I think he's one of the best ever, he's hardheaded. I don't know why sometimes he doesn't throw zone out there (especially when fouls are issue), I don't understand why we struggle to get solid production from our bigs, and why he doesn't play more guys. I hate the Tar Holes but they get production from their bigs. If I was a stud high school big man, I'd go to Chapel Hill, if I'm a stud wing or guard, I'd pick DurhamThought this year would be impossible to play a short bench. K seems to find reasons to not play guys. If bolden has a bad attitude or whatever is not allowing him to play then it should be the next guy because vrank and jeter have enough time in the program that they would not hurt the team as long as they are playing a role.
Overall the team is doing a lot better but there are some things that have bugged me for years and doesn't seem to be adjusted during the year or in offseason(short bench and bad defense)

None of the above. 5 blown transitions in the first half lost the game. Game would have been over at half
You'd pick uncheat over KU if you were a post player? There's more basketball outside the state my friend.K is going to do things his way. I agree with you.

Just a comparison between the two schools here, that's all. If Duke and Tar Holes wanted you, and you were a post player, which school would you choose between the 2?You'd pick uncheat over KU if you were a post player? There's more basketball outside the state my friend.
