Duke postgame thread

[capeorange]

Our point guard had 1 assist and the most shot attempts.

 

[Trueblue25]

Our guards were the furthest thing from our biggest issue

 

[STEVEHOLT]

Disgusting effort. No halftime adjustments.

How do you adjust when they have better athletes, more size, better shooters , more depth , better coach ?

 

[Zepharus]

Bell with perhaps the worst visual performance in history

Bell st8 looked like he had no interest in playing tonight. NONE

 

[Trueblue25]

Boneyard’s “Cuse Dumpster Fire Thread” is probably electric right now

How do you adjust when they have better athletes, more size, better shooters , more depth , better coach ?

Are you pleased with the effort today ?

 

[Eric15]

Boneyard’s “Cuse Dumpster Fire Thread” is probably electric right now

I honestly wish they had one of those. It would suggest that we are still worth thinking about.

 

[jgeorge322]

Disgusting effort.

Not really… we dont have much of a shot with our strategy and personnel. Its not really an effort thing.

 

[Red Holzman]

We went from perennial NCAA top four protected seed to 5-8 seed
We went from perennial 5-8 seed to bubble team
We went from perennial bubble team to missing the tournament, hoping for NIT

The next step in this slow death of the program is perennial losing team

We went from 30K+ to watch exciting games vs blue bloods
to
$20 off to watch Duke spank the Orange.

 

[Trueblue25]

what the hell are we doing

How is the university this toothless?

 

[BlackSquirrels]

Here is how Duke's offense has performed against the zone since 2020.

(For context, Colgate's offense put up 1.19 ppp against us this year.)

2/1/20: 1.32 points per possession
2/22/21: 1.36 ppp
1/22/22: 1.15 ppp*
2/26/22: 1.64 ppp
3/10/22: 1.26 ppp
2/18/23: 1.24 ppp

"I just don't see a lot of adjustments." - Jon Crispin, during the ESPN postgame studio show, 2/18/23

*It boggles my mind this horrific beatdown in Cameron that featured the infamous Juli Boeheim courtside interview was Duke worst performance during this period of time.

 

[DilemaCuse]

It dawned on me with about 10 or 12 left in the game, we ain't beating Duke again w JB. Today and last year in the Acct we're out best shot. I don't know if we can even if we return our whole roster next year.

 

[jgeorge322]

If people are dissappointed with the trajectory of the program, they should email the athletic director. Respectfully of course.

 

[DilemaCuse]

Was tonight closer than last year's game at the dome? I figured it would be and we got off to a better start but it went off the rails a bit. Who cares, no big deal.

 

[Cstate]

The portal better get attacked this off-season….because I can say with 100% certainty Taylor starting at the 2 and Bell starting at the 3 next season as some have mentioned is NOT the answer. They looked like they did not belong anywhere near the court.

 

[Madbiker]

Not even competitive. Sad. The entire front court didn't show up.
I'm so sick of watching games where the zone gets roasted from the arc and no adjustment. Just stay in it and give up uncontested shot after shot.

 

[br801]

I'm not sure we had any forwards tonight. Equally ineffective.

Or a center. Good thing Joe was able to score 21 points on nine shots, and Mintz hit a few threes and got a few easy baskets directly off steals, or this might have gotten ugly.

 

[cusefan88]

With JB I know Syracuse won't have a Louisville 22-23 season but I also know they won't ever contend again under his leadership

 

[Trueblue25]

JB seemed bitter about Flip in the postgame

 

[Jake]

Our point guard had 1 assist and the most shot attempts.

And he was the best player on our team. The only player who could get a good look.

Complaining about Judah tonight is crazy.

Our 2G couldn’t get a shot off and our center played charmin soft.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Our 5 forwards collectively scored 10 points

Maliq was the best of the bunch, with only 6 points, but 8 rebounds, 2 assists, a steal and a blocked shot. The other 4 guys only got 4 points.

 

[Trueblue25]

“Jesse has trouble when teams play him physically”


Jesus thats pathetic

 

[SUforme]

We scored 27 points in the first half...What.

 

[two3zone]

The portal better get attacked this off-season….because I can say with 100% certainty Taylor starting at the 2 and Bell starting at the 3 next season as some have mentioned is NOT the answer. They looked like they did not belong anywhere near the court.

Bell playing more than 10 minutes a game would be awful. I hope Benny takes him with him.
