Our new lead guard, Jaemyn Brakefield can certainly make those lob passes.

Oh, and you guys are still fools for buying in to this shit team.

I feel like an absolute must-win game in late February just to maintain an outside chance for a spot in the First Four is exactly the scenario K has in mind when he talks about "program games."

Feels like exactly the sort of game we always lose, especially with a quick turnaround.

Also, things went too well this weekend from a Duke fan perspective. Every time this happens, the universe inevitably balances it out with crushing disappointment.

I expect at least one banked-in three and several circus shots at the end of the shot clock.

K should troll boeheim by bringing jalen back for 1 game.

I mean, usually it's a late Feb game in Blacksburg that we blow in the last 4 min and afterward lament that we will be at best a 2 seed. But yes, I agree.

It’s hard to understand how Duke was so well prepared for Virginia and Syracuse in 3 days when they looked so unprepared for most of the season.

The D has been so much better

The D has been so much better

They look as good defensively as they do offensively

Maybe since they got on campus so late, the State game was the beginning of the usual Duke team's version of November where they always look good.
