Game Thread [2023-24] at Miami

[Devilsforlife]

This is reminiscent of the 2020 game with the Hoss where we blasted Miami on the road

 

[Ladevil]

TJ getting any playing time ????

 

[2001Dukechamps]

Beating the dog shit out of Miami on their homecourt is very satisfying. Very enjoyable game.

 

[Devilsforlife]

We’ve had some blowout wins (2014, 2020, 2024) and losses (2013, 2023) in Coral Gables

 

[CK86]

The passing tonight has been awesome.

 

[Devilsforlife]

Yeah the Flip-centric offense has really gone away over the last few games

 

[DurhamSon]

That’s my coach

 

[CK86]

I really hope this is how they play going forward. This type of balanced
offensive attack can win it all.

 

[DurhamSon]

Is every coach 70 or older completely worthless? We might not see a coach as old as K was (68) win the title ever again

 

[CK86]

I was not expecting Young to be this effective against Miami. He's kicked ass tonight.

 

[CK86]

Stewart rebounding well tonight too, this is a great win to build off from.

 

[Devilsforlife]

Neal Begovich has scored

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Individual possession count for the top 6 on Duke ranged from 10 to 13.

Season averages coming in were around 17 for Filipowski, 13 for next highest.

 

[aiw]

that was a good game.

 

[DurhamSon]

For once we’re rounding into form right when our schedule dictated we needed to. This road stretch would have been death six weeks ago.

 

[aiw]

That was a perfect fucking Flip game. Love we didn't focus on him and he just played within the offense. He also had much more verve/springiness tonight.

 

[rome8180]

Is two years of playing much better later in the season enough to constitute a pattern?

 

[rome8180]

We've won 16 of the last 18 games. Not bad. The only drawback I see, if Scheyer's style truly is to slowly feel out his team, is the seeding disadvantage. Because the conference is so weak, we really handicap ourselves by not playing our best during the OOC part of the schedule.

The early December swoon that stood in for the typical January one just killed us this year. Back to back Q3 losses to Arkansas/GT. The same week Elko left in the dead of night for A&M. Fuck it forever.
