Reasons why we beat Duke

[Notsince1985]

1. Reggie Johnson eats the Cameron Crazies during warmups, eliminating Duke's home court advantage

2. Julian Gamble uses his bionic knee to deliver a fatal flying (and by flying I mean 2 inches off the ground) dropkick to Seth Curry

3. Kenny Kadji uses his Go Go Gadget arms elbow to deliver a flying elbow drop, Macho Man style, to Coach K

4. Duke just can't handle South Beach, whether here or there (not that there's anything wrong with that)

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Notsince1985 again.

if larkin plays defense like he did last night and we play hard down in the paint I really like our chances!! seems like everytime we have knocked off duke it come when we played very well down in the paint

 

[fiverings01]

get the first 4, but someone's gotta take care of the refs cuz its gonna be 8 on 5 all night

 

[4Canes]

The refs will not allow Miami to come into Cameron and get a win if they can help it.

 

[Oh Snap]

Gotta weather the initial run to begin the game.

 

[DJ8Heisman]

I don't care if Durand scores 0 points, I want all his energy focused on shutting down Curry.

Gotta weather the initial run to begin the game.

Duke doesn't particularly start fast at home.

The two big runs you have to watch when playing Duke at home are the runs right before the half (2-4mins left in the 1st) and the opening minutes of the second half. They do it almost every home game.

OP is awesome

Don't be surprised if Ryan Kelly pulls a Reggie and plays Saturday.

Don't be surprised if Ryan Kelly pulls a Reggie and plays Saturday.

I hope he does. An unhealthy, hobbled and non-game ready player on the court is all the better for us.

 

[DJ8Heisman]

Yea, I expect Kelly to play against us. Whether he's rusty or not, he will be a threat and will spread the floor.

 

[Notsince1985]

Kelly is dressed out tonight

"Kelly initially told CBSSports.com that he was hopeful of returning this Saturday against Miami, which occupies first place in the league, but now it appears more likely he will come back on March 5 against Virginia for Senior Night.

"The target date is Tuesday, but anything is possible depending on how he progresses over the next couple of days," the source told CBSSports.com

 

[tcgrad1014]

I would be shocked if he doesn't play Saturday.

 

[CaneInTheHouse]

^^i think you are right. Coach K has to get him in there ASAP to get him up to speed for the tournaments.

 

[Canesbball]

Their guards just aren't quick enough to keep up with Larkin and Scott and their frontcourt is nowhere near as big and physical as ours.
