[Devilsforlife]

VT just never got in any rhythm offensively

 

[krsmith16]

They have important business

 

[krsmith16]

dont hate

 

[krsmith16]

Their coach looks perpetually confused.

 

[Devilsforlife]

For all the handwringing, this will go down as only our second 1 loss January since 2009

 

[Devilsforlife]

And the loss was in a game where we were down 2 starters

[Devilsforlife]

Only the second win @ Blacksburg since 2015

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Duke’s backcourt is surpassed by only one other team in college basketball.

 

[DrKlahn]

Notice how Duke finishes its games in time for the next game to start as scheduled

 

[torontoduke]

That was satisfying

 

[StopThePumpFakesShav]

Yeah the spread is gonna be like 1-2 or whatever and there will be plenty of people in the US who will open their phones and bet Duke to beat a bubble team in Blacksburg, VA. If eugenics ever becomes the norm, we should start with those people.

I would suck on Axe’s tits if we win.

Give me them titties, I guess.

 

[krsmith16]

Give’em hell!

38 rebounds to 20. Love to see it.

Incredible. I guess when Proctor/Roach/Foster shoot 8-10 from 3 with 11/5 ATO, we're going to have a puncher's chance against bubble caliber teams.

I know you're being a little bit tongue in cheek, but there was a reason we shot so well, imo. The process was SO much better than it's been lately.

Proctor's game seems entirely mojo-based. When he's feeling it, he's got a sick handle, a knockdown shot, and an elite sense for how to respond to a defender's weight and positioning. He's one of the only players where I support him being a little extra with his dribbles and dancing, because it's like an instant power-up for him that unlocks his confidence and aggression, to the point where he's almost toying with people sometimes.

Such a drastic contrast to his mojoless stretches, where he's completely helpless off the dribble, can't shoot, and is terrified of even going near the lane.
