Kenpom: #90 overall, #65 offense, #143 defense

Another game for Duke basketball where the potential outcomes are: (1) complete disaster or (2) mere relief.

Believe it or not, BC has at least one interesting player. Quinten Post is a 7-0 5th year COVID guy who has improved every season and would now be hypothetically plugged into Duke's starting lineup over Kyle Filipowski by many Duke fans. He's a finesse big who takes a lot of jumpers, protects the rim pretty well, and is good but not great at rebounding for his size. He's an efficient shooter for a 7-footer - 43% from 3, 80% FT, 65% at the rim. Duke fans may remember him for putting up 16 and 6 against Duke last season and hitting a go-ahead jumper with under a minute left.

"Another game for Duke basketball where the potential outcomes are: (1) complete disaster or (2) mere relief."

This needs to be a Board mantra. Repeated cultishly by us before each game.

This is exactly why I wish I could stop watching. Here's my day leading up to and through a basketball game:

1) Heart attack level anxiety before the game
2) Anger and annoyance during the game
3a) Anger and depression if we lose or,
3b) Momentary relief if we won
4) Anxiety about the next game that will steadily increase to heart attack level by game day

The only deviation to this pattern happens once every 15 games or so when we beat an opponent I did not expect to beat and play perfect basketball while doing so.

Filipowski somehow still a starter.

Gonna watch another game while my son burns up with a fever of 104

Is Flip literally the worst?

 

[aiw]

I'll keep saying bad things so they end up doing good things

[rhfarmer]

[aiw]

Duke getting torched by Jackie Moon

 

[aiw]

[rhfarmer]

The old drive into the paint turnover

 

[rhfarmer]

Awful

 

[aiw]

so bad

 

[rhfarmer]

Not guarding Blakes

 

[aiw]

That was another great possession

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Scheyer again doesn’t have his team ready to play against a bad team.

The DR is bad
