Postgame Thoughts… Duke game 2

[NineOneSeven]

32,000 people… wish they saw something competitive. Literally not a single moment.

Banchero at the high post, Williams down low. Yikes.

Benny Williams! Awesome to see him making plays. Way more important than the actual game for me.

AJAK!

Chris LaValle and JBA had more points than Jimmy, Cole and Frank combined. That’s all I got……

 

[MikeSU02]

Bench (not counting LaValle/Casey):

27 points
10-13 from the field
7-8 from the line
12 boards (5 offensive)
4 assists (remember, Sy got hurt)

What a week of practice, I guess.

Someone need to tell me a good reason why Benny shouldn’t be playing minimum 20 the last 2 games and acc tourney.

you can’t use your usual excuses anymore.

So two thoughts-

1- Benny finally broke through. Needs to get lots of minutes going forward to work towards next year.

2- This outcome, not competitive from the tip, with a key recruit in the building was an embarrassment and makes more than a couple of those this year so far. Hopefully that registers.

Hope Sy is okay and plays in the next one.

Feel bad for frank, because he got zero help on defense when he was out there.

glad for Benny.

We need athletes like Williams to compete with the Dukes, Kansas, and Kentuckys of the world. Glad he was able to break out a little bit tonight.

I'm often wrong, but at no point today from the moment I got up did I feel that we had a chance to win today. That never used to happen.

that’s unreal

 

[HOFCeluck]

Well, he didn’t take many bad shots. Silver linings etc.

 

[pearl31]

I'm so done with this wretched product.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Absolutely embarrassing. I’m disgusted. This needs to change now.

Starting frontcourt — 2 points, 3 rebounds. And terrible defense. Will be interesting to see what happens Monday.

 

[MikeSU02]

BTW, Benny just did that against a team with, as they noted, potentially five first rounders, including potentially the #1 overall pick.

Interested to hear the post game presser.

Benny played great…he will have all the opportunities in the world here to start next year. He only leaves if he isn’t happy in my opinion

 

[Alsacs]

I find myself listening to this theme after games and walking just to move on.

I was legit apathetic after the loss to ND. This performance was flat out embarrassing.

We need hope and change.

 

[CardiacCuse]

Defense needs to take away inside or outside at minimum but couldnt do either.

Duke might as well have been playing H-O-R-S-E

roasted the zone and coasted to 97 points

Would you be happy if you just held your own against a team of at least five future NBA players but have been sitting behind Jimmy Boeheim all year and trashed in the media by your coach?

 

[oldpinepoint]

I turned it off at 8-0, sounds like I made the smart choice

 

[NineOneSeven]

I’m not disgusted at all actually. Maybe because I watched with a couple of old high school buddies while having some brews, some food, sort of watching. Now playing some N64 NFL blitz.

Anyway yeah…. That Benny reverse layup. No other player on our team could do that.

This game was incredibly important for that if nothing else. Which sounds pretty crazy considering we lost by what, 25-30?

 

[realorange]

RETIRE. It's over. Disgusting to.get embarrassed like that before a huge crowd that the whole country saw on TV before switching the channel in the 1st half.

What could he have done different, Dink?

 

[tbonezone]

bench points 29/19 cuse. who saw that coming ?

 

[OrangeDW]

Recruited better players.
