ron Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Anyone have any good ideas that we can pass into the half-time locker room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Our threes aren't dropping. Yes, they are more contested than usual, but I think it's nerves at this point. Max hitting the one three is good news. If his threes start dropping and more of Vanover's . . . and everyone else's, maybe we can climb back into this thing.

ron Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Duke is playing great defense. I don't want to give them anything, but I have to give them that. Another is the embarrassment of riches on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess comparing ACC stats with Summit stats isn't apples to apples!! Can we now stop using the term "elite"! This is why we need to play a real OOC schedule, stop trying to outsmart the NET ranking with NAIA games and play some real competitive games and actually improve, not game the Kenpom numbers. On the court is where it counts. Getting a 12 seed and playing a weak schedule gets you this, playing some tougher OOC games may get you a lower seed but your better prepared! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's never over til it's over. There are other low seeds from similarly disadvantaged conferences that have done better. Partly, this is Duke. If we can't put a dent into this lead, I may start believing that Duke can win this whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Regardless of the outcome of this game, my guess is that tonight after the game, we are searching the Stargate for more bigs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 That was a strategic foul. I think we'll see more of those, even when they're shooting fouls. Flip is not as good a free-throw shooter as other Duke players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
