I don't know what's sadder. The fact we are only down 8 despite AW/Lydon going 1/6. Or the fact that we are down 8 with Allen and Kennard going 4/14

 

[PhatOrange]

Dukes gameplan. just shut off White, the midget won't throw it down low to Lydon, and we'll let him pound the ball up top until he drives.

And oh yeah, if Roberson gets it up top just pack it down low on Lydon.

 

[orangenirvana]

lol

Did you watch it? Lydon flailed in a dramatic fashion that would have made Paul Harris proud.

Why does Gillon come in as a defensive substitution?...

He was instructed to foul. Replaced Frank who already had 2.

 

[Madbiker]

Why does Gillon come in as a defensive substitution?...

So they can shoot over him?

 

[sugrad68]

Giving up 31 points to Duke in a half is pretty good, considering the refs gave Kennard a 3 by not calling the foul when Lydon was hammered. Roberson absolutely horrible. Lydon rebounding well. No one able to get open 3s. Why?

 

[longislandcuse]

Maybe to spread out our fouls, so one person didn't get too many?

Why don't we just not foul? Is it better to have 6 seconds left and Gillon, who you and I can shoot over, instead of Howard and us just playing defense like a normal team?

 

[retro44]

What is up with Coach "k" red face?

 

[DonLightfoot]

PLEASE start Battle in place of Gillon

 

[skurey]

Bet Duke scores 50 in the 2nd.

Pretty much. Frustrating.

 

[jdubs30]

This is kinda like the UVA game. Awful 1st half on offense, so bad - came out firing in the 2nd half. Only difference is, as much worse as Duke is on D than UVA is - Duke can also score in bunches. I would have preferred not to get in a shootout with them.

 

[Alsacs]

I really hope there are no more Lydon Nba threads this year, its become comical.

He is a first round pick. Players aren't going to play for free when they can get paid.
Vitale wants every kid to stay they aren't going too.
Lydon has an NbA stretch 4 game.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Been saying for 3 weeks Lydon isn't that great right now. It only takes 6 bad games in a row for people to notice.

Imagine if he like, touched the ball.

 

[jdubs30]

Could see it. Allen and Kennard will get going at somepoint. Can we score 58?!!!?

 

[Cusefan0307]

We are playing like Virgins on offense...soooo tight.

Lydon is not active at all on offense. Buries himself down low and barely moves.

Disagree. He's wide open every play on the high low. I think that's the game plan. We are just not capable of passing it inside. Even the Duke fans near me are saying he's wide open.

If he keeps playing like this, he won't be.

 

[CorduroyG]

Shot out load during the 5 game winning streak. Team looks done.

And it's absolutely inexcusable for Roberson and Howard to be in there at same time. What boeheim! The starting 5 should play entire 2nd half, enough is enough, this game means everything.

 

[Cuse House]

Imagine if he like, touched the ball.

Hard to touch it on the bench:noidea:

Whoops thought you responding about Battle. My b.

LOL...HE MIGHT BE TALLER THAN YOU!!!

 

[Mano22]

Those 2 passes Frank had to Roberson in the first half (one he dropped and the other he finished) are exactly why we need Frank and Gillon to switch minutes. Frank can beat his guy and make something happen. Gillon I guess can beat his guy, and then either kick it back out or put up an embarrassing shot looking for contact. At least Gillon is playing a lot better than last game, still nothing compared to Frank of course.

 

[cspades99]

What is up with Coach "k" red face?

Drunk

 

[longislandcuse]

Does Battle just sit, stationary and chain smoke cigarettes when not playing? He doesn't look injured and gets benched after 2 minutes of game time with people saying he's winded?

 

[Madbiker]

Duke did great job denying White the ball. No scoring from White = no chance of SU winning.
