Unfortunately, I didn't get home until 8. So I'm not even done watching the game. I'd record at midnight because I roll like that. My cohosts have kids and shit.Emergency TDD Podcast

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.
I know Tyrese hasn't been amazing, but I still feel like losing him in the first minute of that GT game was the main reason we lost that one. At that point in time he was still our lead ball handler. He really isn't anymore, so we can survive better without him now. But the minute he went out, they went on that big run. We spent the rest of the game fighting back. I know we took the lead and still should have won. But if he's in the game maybe we're up 10 near the end instead of up four.We've won 16 of the last 18 games. Not bad.

3 blocks for Flip, ZERO blocks against our whole team. I'm counting the Miami game as a win.Omier is their fucking center at 6'7". If Flip can avoid blocked once by this man who is 5 inches shorter that him, I'd consider that a win.
The seven next-best ACC teams in that same 2.5 week span:This is the time of year where I start to look at Torvik data for cherry-picked dates, and sure enough, Duke is #3 since the morning after the UNC game.
This was a great tram performance, but I'm not as confident we've turned some corner as many of you seem to be.
I thought the defense was well conceived and executed and I was really impressed with:
The way Flip contested
The way the top 8 players rotated
The doubles up top and how disruptive it was
The offense was crisp ball movement and extra passes and just generally lovely to watch.
However, this boiled down to Duke being scorching hot from 3. Duke isn't going to lose if they can hover around 50% from 3.
We know they are going to have some mediocre games from 3.
Norchad should pursue a career in modeling or porn. In my objective opinion, he is a beautiful example of Man.My two main takeaways from this game:
1) Norchad Omier has the best hair Duke has faced this season. Incredible hair game.
2) And not to brag or anything, but McCain dunks just like I used to many years and pounds ago - unexpectedly and barely getting the ball over the rim after a big running start.
