This Duke squad is unreal.

[HOFCeluck]

Just kidding. Up 33-22 on Hartford with 30 seconds to play in the first half.

 

[NateW]

But hey - Hartford doesn’t have three starters out. Perspective.

 

[PoppyHart]

It's Hartford's Super Bowl, so can't say I'm surprised.

I really like what Jordan Goldwire gives them off the bench as a #9 guy. He could be the key to their season.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Not as impressive as Lemoyne tied with mighty Buffalo at the half.

Neither did northeastern.

Duke gets everyone's toughest shot!!!!

I don't know - that always seemed like such a crap statement. I'm sure Hartford would get just as super excited about playing any elite program. For all I know they get ever opponent's worst game as the players probably always come out over-hyped and nervous against the almighty Coach K. That's what I'm going with.

Duke gets everyone's worst game.

I'm just relieved ESPN has us all covered by airing these games.

Zion missing a dunk is front page news to ESPN tonight. Quality stuff

How much run is Jordan Tucker getting for them?

 

[Cusefan0307]

My ESPN viewing has decreased a lot over the years, but their coverage of Duke was the final nail in the coffin for me watching anything but games.

Yeah, their adoration, coverage, and flogging the Duke brand every ten minutes is disgusting. And I like Duke okay.

 

[UnknownOrange]

How much run is Jordan Tucker getting for them?

Probably zero minutes.

Seeing as how he is at Butler

Yeah, I know. That was the joke.

ESPN’s Duke love was out of control 20 years ago. Now? There are no words to describe how ridiculous it is. It’s gotten so much worse, which seems impossible.

if JB is seriously thinking about catching K in wins then this year K is pulling away.

It's kinda been an every year thing. The only way he catches K in wins at this point is if he outlasts him by 5-6 seasons.

Duke down 2 late in the 1st half to TT. 22 turnovers combined by both teams

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Vitale is rooting for Tech here I wonder if he is OK. Maybe its just because its only 1H.

 

[jncuse]

This is an ugly game.
But if Texas Tech wins it will be beautiful.

Amazing. It will be AmaZING!

You know college basketball is in a rough state when two top ten teams can't break 30 in a half and combine for 25 turnovers

and one of those teams is a once-in-a-generation powerhouse feat. the best player that ever played
