Message: [QUOTE="NineOneSeven, post: 950359, member: 871"] Wide open. You have to pull the trigger. You know what? Not even upset about the L on our record. We've been due. What I am upset about is how it happened. If we squeaked the game out it still wouldn't have changed the overall performance. This has been due for AWHILE. I bet we see 5 threads about that play where BC threw it out of bounds off a potential travel. You know what? It should NEVER have been that close. We were up 13, BC is 6-19. 6-19! Some notes from the game - Fair was absolutely a black hole for much of this game. Forget the missed shots, that I can live with. The constant forcing of the ball should be unacceptable. People talk all the time about team ball for our team- that's not what we played tonight. - Rak had a GREAT look at the end of regulation, tough roll. He also had great position for much of the game but didn't get the ball. Instead Fair drove left and bricked a runner (see point 1). - Tons of misses inside. - Grant had some very nice takes, cto said it in the chat, he deserved the ball over Fair. - Keita must not be close to 100%. - Did Cooney get off the bus? - Dribble penetration killed us tonight. Guards haven't been great at stopping it all year- I made some points about that during our pre-conference schedule. At the end of the day, we are 25-1, with some very, very tough games coming up. Been a lot of talk lately about "this team needs a loss, etc", while I don't agree EVER with wanting or wishing for a loss, it definitely should be a sign to our squad of-- hey, look at what might happen when you let teams stick around. The entire NCAA field consists of decent to good, to very good teams (BC is none of them, I said pre-game if we don't win by 15+ we failed). Time to MAN UP for Duke! LET"S GO! [/QUOTE]
