Quick stuff (dook game)...

Hubert’s had some galaxy brain strategies in some of the biggest games this season that probably put his team at a significant disadvantage.

Deciding to play drop coverage and going under ball screens against Alabama was certainly a choice.

And while Powell isn’t in the same class as Flagg, that’s probably a better matchup than the 4 guards. I also thought doubling Flagg was a weird choice. That guy is the most skilled wing/big in the country.

Just some odd decisions all season. I don’t take any of the second half stuff with any significance. That’s benefit of the doubt this team hasn’t earned all season.

I also barfed at Cadeau attempting a 15 foot left handed bounce pass off the dribble on Seth’s backdoor dive from the strongside corner. The decision to make that pass was bad. Seth also has 0 shot credibility. Run that action to someone who can actually shoot the basketball. It was really early but that play stuck with me for some reason.
I also should say that I’m not solely blaming Hubert. This has been a failure from coach to the last man on the roster.

I’m probably being a bit reactionary to this game specifically. The reality is this team was at such a disadvantage compare to Duke’s size and length. But it’s disappointing it got to this point.

I personally don’t see anything changing. This team just doesn’t fit very well together and doesn’t have a ton of versatility. But they still have opportunities ahead of them so hopefully the find something over the next coming days.

Of course you don't. And for the record, that pass was a called timing play we have run successfully this season. The fact Flagg just opened up and waited for it should have been the first indication they were anticipating our plays.
