****ie V going off on tangents early in the 2nd half

If Lykes is battling a groin injury why is he still out there

I thought that in the first half. Wong should be playing the rest of the 2nd half.

Maybe they are a top team and have several better faster athletes, but notice how 2-3 Duke players are near the basket on almost every longish shot, and often get rebounds... while we usually have no one there, or a slow Sam, and miss a lot... Been happening for years it's Coach L's get back strategy... maybe he doesn't have the talent to coach and instruct otherwise, but it really really is losing basketball unless your shooters are hot. Seldom for us these days.

We seem to put a premium on getting back over offensive rebounding

For those who don't know, **** Vitale was a terrible coach who got fired and was hired by ESPN in the 80s.

He is not that knowledgeable when it comes to basketball.

He is definitely the worse commentator on TV.

Miami does not have any dominate rebounders that hit the boards like the 2013 team.

 

[casualcane]

Just a terrible inbound there by Bev

Another case of low character.

Another case of low character.

Meanwhile, if we can ever get an ACC streak together, beating now-ranked Illinois may be a signature win for us, for any committee lookin at us.

Dam, they cutting to Coco while our gaming going on lol

 

[Da_Lucky_One]

Walker, Wong and Beverly should play the last 10 minutes of the game to gain experience.

Dam, they cutting to Coco while our gaming going on lol

Honestly, I did also.

 

[casualcane]

Can’t complain about the officiating at least

 

[Da_Lucky_One]

Carolina is a lot worse than Miami.

3rd time I noticed that on these longish (missed) shots... Walker does seem to try and hang around for the rebound. Not being a gazelle he didn't get any yet, but I must say I appreciate that. I wonder if Coach L does (maybe that's why he was in doghouse so long?)

(or is he just there waiting for the alley-oop that never comes?)

 

[plantcity3]

Walker seems to have escaped from the doghouse with his FSU performance

He plays with much more aggression then Miller which isn’t saying much...

 

[casualcane]

Walker needs to play more

I think we’re tied for last in alley oops

We'll find out but ... if I bet, my $$ would be on UNC.
