Typical Duke home officiating. At halftime, 19 free throws for Duke, we had 4.
There was a part of the game where the color commentator explained and diagrammed one of our plays. There is a plan—it’s not “hero ball”Bummed about the loss but extremely pleased with the effort -- really great game (outside of two short lapses in the 2nd half in a tough environment) and adjustments/gameplan by the Jackets tonight. Nait George whipping out the cojones of Jose Alvarado. The narrative from Duke fans will basically be that Duke had a ****ty game but make no mistake about it - this GT team can beat anybody in the country. We've got a team.
I think we're about to have a nice run, maybe win 10 or 11 of next 15A loss is a loss is a loss. At least this year.
All we can hope for is player development and recruitment of more top players.
That would be nice- Tech will only be favored in about 3 of those but we’ll seeI think we're about to have a nice run, maybe win 10 or 11 of next 15
This team can amaze at times. I think they have a collective subconscious that has them play up to or down to the level of their competition. They play below their ability in some games and above their abilities in others, tonite being the best example of that. They sure didn’t show up at Duke thinking like we fans did before the game. CDS talks about this team always playing hard, but he is also coaching physical and mental toughness, which he wants to see more of. I think we all saw that tonite, even CDS.Bummed about the loss but extremely pleased with the effort -- really great game (outside of two short lapses in the 2nd half in a tough environment) and adjustments/gameplan by the Jackets tonight.

Ndongo is a 21 year old true freshman. He’s still a freshman, but look…there’s a reason that guy looks so polished…he’s physically more like a Jr/Sr. If he sticks around he could be incredible. But I could easily see that guy leaving. George is super impressive for his age.Fairly hard to believe that George and Ndongo are true FR. With Kelly coming around- a lot oppty for rest of yr..
I kind of agree on Nait’s last three… I thought we probably could’ve gotten a better look… But he had his feet set and a wide open look at the basket and with the way he had been playing, I won’t complain. If he goes to the basket, he probably doesn’t get the call!We played pretty well. Didn’t like George chucking that three at the end, but it would have been great if he made it of course. Felt like some serious home cooking from the refs. Strange calls at times that just subtly put Duke in a good position or killed momentum - felt intentional because they happened in 50/50 situations.
Good grief! How in the world can anyone complain arter his game today. Wow!I kind of agree on Nait’s last three… I thought we probably could’ve gotten a better look… But he had his feet set and a wide open look at the basket and with the way he had been playing, I won’t complain. If he goes to the basket, he probably doesn’t get the call!
It was a good look and he had shot well.I kind of agree on Nait’s last three… I thought we probably could’ve gotten a better look… But he had his feet set and a wide open look at the basket and with the way he had been playing, I won’t complain.

I think you’re reading me wrong… It was a good shot with his feet set and I’m not complaining about anything Nait did tonight. I’ll take part of the blame for sloppy posting.Good grief! How in the world can anyone complain arter his game today. Wow!
