Let’s go Duke

[Briancuse]

Uva is vastly overrated.

 

[Orangezoo]

Virginia should be a 6-8 seed.
They have not many good wins.

Yeah. Smoked by FSU and now losing to Duke. Of course they boat raced us but our zone was a big slice of cake to their shooters that day.

 

[UpstateSM]

He had no idea of the clock and almost lost his dribble at the last possessions. His shot at the buzzer didn't even get there. Imagine this board if Joe did that?

Huff had Goldwire switched into him multiple times too and Clark didn’t even look at him. Really bad from a veteran pg. At least Joe would have gotten a clean 25 footer up. Lol

 

[Orangezoo]

The Duke game will be interesting. They run a lot of action against mtm that worked well tonight. Against a zone the looks and movement will be different. I imagine they put Hurt on Buddy. Williams is a big worry for me in the middle. Marek needs to attack him early before his size is a headache for us.

Very un-Virginia like ending. Always expect a Bennett team to be more composed down the stretch.

I don’t think they can guard us if we run an offense that doesn’t consist of Buddy backdowns

They don't rebound well either.

Clark is bad. He always has been. He should never have been more than a backup pg for UVA. They have had a good streak of really good point guards. Clark broke that streak.

 

[DilemaCuse]

JB was right, Duke is better without Johnson

 

[UpstateSM]

They don't rebound well either.

I really want to say I like our chances if Hurt doesn’t shoot 6/10 from three. But there’s also a 50/50 shot that we just don’t show up and we lose by 15. Who knows

It would be really nice if Monday is the night we put together 40 minutes of solid play.

I’m hoping today was the turning point but I won’t believe it until I see it haha

Yeah, I’ve thought that a few times this year, only to be disappointed.

If you think UVA is overrated/undeserving (and I tend to agree), take a look at Louisville's "resume"

actually K went smaller and played Brakefield alongside Hurt with no real 5 most of tonight's game - I suspect he'll do the same on Monday, esp with how Brakefield's been playing

Yeah it will be interesting to see. With Brakefield and Hurt they are far easier to score on.

 

[OrangeTarheel]

Virginia crushed them on the boards 32-22. That’s a loss for most teams

 

[FrancoPizza]

Duke is playing very well. I’m glad this young team has only one day to get ready to play against a zone.

What’s to get ready? Just find the side that Joey donuts is playing on and go to work...

 

[bpo57]

Uva is vastly overrated.

Tell JB. He thinks UVA would beat the Runnin' Rebels in 1990.

 

[Madbiker]

Good that Duke won. Now our win over them will mean more.

Didn’t Notre Dame beat Duke a couple weeks ago?

 

[DilemaCuse]

Didn’t Notre Dame beat Duke a couple weeks ago?

They did but I think they have cleaned the cancer of Jalen Johnson and are much better
Gonna be a good game, Cuse will need to bring their A game

 

[Orangezoo]

Just like we have done when having success vs Duke in the past we have to attack them all game. It can't be a jumpshot fest. Attack inside, off the dribble and don't let up. UVA spent all game hunting for shots off a pass as they like to do. We gotta go after them early and often.

did someone say cake?

 

[Newhouser]

Man, that was awful by Clark. All that time and all that dribbling and he couldn’t go anywhere with it. Imagine losing your dribble and then throwing up a airball that’s short by about 3 feet like that?

He's so overrated.
