2019 ACC Tournament

Things are aligning perfectly for the holes

That happened a year ago when cam johnson returned.

UVA, while a really good team, is a better matchup for Duke than most of the Top 5 teams - I think tall slashers like Zion/Cam/RJ present some unique challenges to UVA's packline D, and for the most part this was demonstrated in the 2 earlier games

If K can't win tonight after UVA collapses....

 

[torontoduke]

Need decent pressure on their perimeter players. Lock someone up, Tre

Up 6 and Jones, Barrett, and Reddish with three awful turnovers in a row to turn the game. Great job, OAD

 

[torontoduke]

Just terrible. Viva Zion, tho.

Also - much love to Goldwire & Vrank

 

[physicsfactor]

Last few min of the first half was great. A couple of spurts in the second half were great. Other than that, horribly played, glad we won.

They're stupid. It's the worst thing about OAD's.

 

[TyusStones5]

I will never forgive Brey if they beat unc on Thursday night.

Why?

Then we wouldn't be playing unc tonight.

Few pages back you said you didnt want to see round 3.

Which is it?

I wanted to see it.

This made me feel a little better about the season but not any better about our NCAA tournament chances.

 

[dukeboy911]

I mean we're still a Final 4 caliber team, but not the "even" favorites we were projected to be before Tre's injury. We've been dealt some shit luck so far this season. Maybe we're due for some good luck.

To be fair, we did just beat a top 3 team on a neutral court.

True, maybe I just need to set aside my notions of what winning basketball should look like. I don't feel like teams usually win the tournament with one good player, though.

If I am realistic, Barrett is still very good despite his recent struggles. He filled up the stat sheet in everything but scoring tonight. So one all-time great player and a very good one.

 

[rome8180]

On the plus side, I guess at least Zion should be less susceptible to choking that JJ in the tournament. I guess our season could end when he picks up a few bullshit charges and can't be on the court. But I don't see an "off night" from him.

So if we lose tomorrow does it matter for our seeding?

I feel like we are gassed and FSU is always so deep

Really on the road if you think about it then the ESPN studio analysts says postgame “I wonder how Duke will do on a neutral floor that’s a hostile environment.” I was thinking did you not just watch the game? It was some guy that played in the 90’s for UCLA.

We should be fine tomorrow. Javin, Jack, and AOC should be totally fresh with the rest they got today

UNC covered and Duke won so a perfect result for my wallet and mental health.
