good half. in reality, we're not gonna beat Duke winning wire to wire, it's not realistic with the talent gap between the two teams and we're effectively playing an away game tonight. the first 5 minutes gave us a nice buffer but there's gonna be waves during the game, we just need to take their blows and keep it close and see if we can beat them at the end of the game. as long as we don't let them go on a 12-0 or 16-2 run or something we'll have a shot.

every time they tied the game we came back down and scored a bucket. we're not panicking much on offense. K isn't going to go into a zone so we should be able to get to our stuff. our guards have consistently been in the lane, finishing over their size will be an issue but if we can keep getting penetration we will have chances to score.

That’s not coaching at this level of basketball. Do you really think they don’t practice them or something? Guys gotta make them, it’s no more complicated than that.

We’re being out-rebounded on the Defensive boards in the 1st half, but we’re winning the turnover & 3 point battle.

We have to continue to take good 3pt shots (which means no more 3’s for Waardenburg lol) & attack the basket a lot more, Duke of course as expected has the refs in their back pocket, but if we pressure their Bigs & attack the paint it should swing in our favor with the refs.

Wong, McGusty, Miller & Moore gotta keep attacking.

On Defense, there’s not much we can do without having a true rim protector, just have to force Duke into taking some bad perimeter shots...

But otherwise, this game will come down to our backcourt & smart shot selection.
 
Every time Larranaga puts Joseph in, they are practically playing with four players and the lead disappears, ridiculous.

Walker has not missed, why not play Walker instead of Joseph?????????

More flat-footed 3's toeing the line is what I'd like to see. These contested, off balance 3-point shots will be the death of me. :LOL:
