Duke down 2. 39 secs left.

Duke 67-66. Sharpie.

 

[ROCcuse]

Really curious how far an inbound passer is allowed to back up to throw it in.

Can he be our QB2 next season?

 

[Orangeman]

About to put the sound off but Scott started becoming bearable even though he doesn’t know how to use a microphone.

Agree, I take back my early comment about Scott

It's like there's a Tony Romo out there in Basketball, he made the game fun

Maliq the hero

Duke 67-66. Sharpie.

Maliq with a nice tip to ice it. Go ACC

 

[kuethstheman]

Duke in the same situation as us (up1 with 1.5 left), but our boy MB blocks the inbounds pass! Guess the Florida dude didn't stand back far enough!

Maliq had a pretty good game with 6 points 4 boards and 2 steals. I met Maliqs Mom at a uva game. Nice family. I like the kid and wish him well. Although I still hate Duke.

UT shot 53% and we shot 59% from the line. Lousy free throw shooting must be contagious.

In fairness I think our free throw shooting was much better. That average is skewed ALOT Because of Kyle.

5+ or more years ago I swear we were 80% plus... or was it 2010 or earlier... Missing a free throw is really bad, we kinda suck at it but it matters so much, as well as not getting fouled but also capitalizing on it. This was the first game we did better on both of those fronts and why we won. It wasn't the three pointers for sure, and we need to stop that trend imo.

We would have won some of the Vegas games if we could shoot free throws.

That’s an insane stat.

Other than when the refs called a fake pass interference call in 1998 football game Ill never forget yeah that’s crazy

 

[jimb]

This should be huge for Red and the team getting the monkey off their back.

So------Red can coach?

 

[SarasotaPaul]

William Kyle 6 huuuuge blocks!!!

And he definitely was in Carey’s mind during his last shot.

 

[ars88]

Out of curiosity, how far back are you allowed to stand on an inbound? Is it unlimited? I don't think I've ever seen someone set up that far back before.

Phenomenal pass.

It's interesting. Just watched the end of the Duke Florida game. Exact same play at the end of their game, but the crowd is so close to the court on the baseline that the inbounder couldn't back up very far and Malik Brown deflected the inbound.

 

[Orangefan1]

Looks like the ACC is better than people think

 

[BuffOrange]

Sadiq is the kind of guy we never have on our roster but always need.

Totally

I’m so happy for JJ. He gets a lot of stuff from a lot of people (I’ve been guilty of this myself), but he had an incredible game tonight. Glad to see him have this signature moment in his last year at Syracuse, he deserves it.

After the third big shot he hit, I finally stopped yelling "NO!" whenever he looked at the basket.

Huge win for Duke too, can't lose that game.

 

[Col. Bleep]

…Kings locked down Gillespie, who is the engine that makes them run. ..

Kingz defense is terrific all game.
But how is it
Possible he couldn’t get a shot
In the second half?

some are better at one thing versus another.

White and Starling both were at 50% and Kyle 40%. It was a team effort in mediocrity.

They really need to do better overall. This is a basic skill with no pressure. It should be 100%

ESPN.com says our final score was 62-60. Wasn’t it 61-60?
