Man I really hate the **** out of dook. You could combine all my sports hate from every team I despise, then quadruple it, and you’re still only about 10% of the way there.

Basically, it looks like we just need Kenny and Cam to keep chucking threes and hope they make enough of them to stay in the game.
Why does every white player that plays for them look like a jerkoff? Lol
Without a doubt. It just seems like he played at Pitt for that long and seemed to not learn the first thing about guarding.
Yes he is . . . Cam has consistently been a very good 3 point shooter since returning, and he'll only get better IMO.
They're trying to be like their Coach . . ? I dunno . .
Back in 79 or 80, the final score of the famous first half slowdown game was 47-40. We’ve already hit that score with about 2 minutes left in the first half.

Williams rushed it. Had time to compose himself. Though to do that though. Decent finish to the half. Need to withstand the obligatory first 5 minute onslaught from Duke and we may have a chance.
OTOH, we made a bunch of threes and are still down.

We are playing as well as we possibly can, or at least playing at like ~95% best we can, and we're still down by 4 at the half :/
To be fair so is everybody else.
Yep, it's my concern as well. Like I said, we're playing about as damn well as we can play. And it still isn't quite enough (right now)
Nah, we could do a much better job of denying the ball into the paint instead of giving up all the easy dunks and layups we gave up to Bagley and Carter.
If nothing else, just hack them and at least make them hit the free throws.
I hope Roy changes his game plan and allows them to play defense in the second half.
I feel like I'm living in opposite land. You guys can't miss a three and Duke is killing it inside.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it 100 times over ...I want first half Kenny in the SECOND HALF
So true. They always have that opening salvo to start the second half. Especially so in Durham.
BTW, O'Connell is the same goofy white kid that can occasionally make a 3 that Duke's had for 15 years. O'Connell, Melchioni, et al.
Maybe, just not sure how. If we pressure we'll just get blown by and then they will dish. No one we have except for Manley is big enough to deny them down low and he is such a liability if they draw him out at all. Now, hacking them is an option. Maybe the best one. However, that puts them in the bonus where any foul leads to FTs from their good shooters.
I think we'll see a lot of Theo crashing down and trying to pick off the pass down low or at least double down on whoever the pass goes to.
I'd like to see Roy come out with full court pressure and try to create as many turnovers as possible before they can even get the ball down low.
Looks like we've got some new posters coming over to the dark side
