Duke Basketball 2017-2018

[Slap the Floor]

Upon further review, I'm not as worried about our offense as I previously was.

Last 4 games where we've struggled:

Clemson has the 8th ranked defense
Louisville has the 18th ranked defense
Syracuse has the 9th ranked defense
Virginia Tech only has the 56th ranked defense but we always struggle in Blacksburg. I think we'll be ok.

So what happens when we get Tennessee #4 or Texas Tech #3 in the NCAA tournament? do we fold up like we did against South Carolina?

Take away our 6 losses, we're undefeated.

I think we stiII Iost the NC State game, as we do every year, it's become standard operating procedure now!

Avoiding Wednesday at ACCT (one of the below in order of date/time):

1. Hold on to 5 point lead with the ball and 90 s left against VT
2. UNC beat Miami at home on senior night
3. Clemson lose to FSU
4. State lose to GT
5. Clemson lose to Syracuse
6. State lose to Louisville
7. Beat UNC

None will happen

Wasn't sure where to put this, but figured this would do.

Watching old reruns of Duke UNC games.

JJ Reddick was an absolute monster. The way he moved without the ball, and his ability to get his shot off whenever.

Also Daniel Ewing, was an underrated player while he was at Duke. Great defense, hit the 3 ball, played hard.

Man, I miss players like this.

JJ Reddick

Who?

Daniel Ewing was a better version of Tyler Thornton. Daniel Ewing would be a great PG on this team.

He was fouled at the end of the 2005 game at UNC

Ah, so they really do practice turnovers. That's been my suspicion all season, nice to finally have it confirmed.

 

[physicsfactor]

I hate to say it, but I think Duke loses to UNC again.

Yep.

Duke’s guys look like they don’t even care.

 

[physicsfactor]

Glad to be wrong on this one.

Even when the offense was clinically retarded, the defense was elite both halves against an elite offense.

This team is equally capable of winning the title or losing in the first round. Never assume any outcome, because who the fuck knows which version of Duke will show up.

This team is not losing in the first round.
