Player Grayson Allen

[DurhamSon]

Not to piss in the punch but i'm not sure letting it fly 25 times a game is a sustainable offense in the NCAAT. One Redickesque 6-25 shooting night and we're done.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Not with Bagley rebounding the misses, though.

But then we lose because of bad defense.

 

[rome8180]

He shot 20 times, hit 50% of them, and scored 28 pts.

Ride with the brotherhood.

 

[LastHearth]

So has he played himself back into the 1st round yet?

No. If he had broken some punks arm the way Javin did he would be there but as it is he still lacks street cred.

 

[torontoduke]

The shot was not dropping but he was making plays otherwise. Some nice steals

 

[DukeCrow]

Does he just forget how to shoot when Bagley's on the court?

 

[rome8180]

I thought the shots were exactly the same shots he was taking and making the last four games. He wasn't forcing it. Mystifying.

 

[surfpenguin]

Felt like he played within the game-script. Will be interesting to see a game where they need outside shooting and can't just force feed the post.

 

[rome8180]

Reading Boeheim's comments, he said their plan was to "stay on" Allen and Trent. It looked like both got their usual amount of open shots to me, but maybe they were more contested than they looked on TV.

 

[torontoduke]

He took good clean shots - unfortunately did not drop. Thought he played a decent ballgame otherwise.

On to VT and their hostile fans.

I turned the game on and Duke was up by 7 in the second half. They promptly on a 21 to 8 run, driven by very crisp interior passing, excellent defense and Duval and Allen 3's.

In the limited minutes I saw, Allen was great. Great passing and defense, made a runner and a 3.

 

[rome8180]

Allen did not make a three. Neither did any other white Duke player you could have confused him with.

Farmer doesn’t see race.

farmdevil66. There's a bowl of Werthers waiting in the lobby.

 

[rhfarmer]

Trent made the other 3 didn't he?

No it’s just the cataracts

 

[krsmith16]

Just gotta live with his dumbass freshman mistakes for now. He will not make them as a senior.

 

[deepdarkblue]

Fuck you, Grayson.
