Bigger Monday: Duke @ Miami
- Thread starter WojoRising
- Start date
Again, I cuss and cuss and all but give up and they win.
Never count out this Duke team. Wow.
I went to my neighbors, ate a plate of greens/beans and pork, came back and Duke was down by double digits. Took some beers down and came back to pee and duke is closing out a win.
Strong showing. What I saw was they're much better on D.
Duval always baits me into bashing him and then turns it on so I feel guilty
Would be cool if I could watch a Duke game without drinking 6 beers each half but a win is a win... Especially on the road. Zone seems to work better now that they're actually executing it fairly well.
I was yelling at my tv for Trent and Duvall to be benched. They don't win tonight without just one of them.
Called this pretty well. Stupid team and selfish to boot. Duke turned it on late but that meltdown was atrocious.
As long as Grayson is scoring 4 and 5 points a game it won’t matter how great Trent, Bagley, Carter and TD are. Duke needs Allen more than anybody to be great imo
Right. But that’s not directly relevant to my point. The game is just easier when Allen is scoring
3-Point Shooting in Conference Play
Duval: 8-20
Allen: 8-41
Yikes.

I don't know what's going on with Allen. I will say, though, his shots are going in the cylinder and rolling out mostly. It's only a matter of time before they start falling again. I cringe a little less now when Duvall shoots. I still cringe, just not as much.
Duke is shooting .379% from three. With your interior, that's nothing to worry about. 58% inside the arc. They're 2nd in the nation at 92.7 PPG only behind Oklahoma.
Turns out, Duke doesn't need the 3 to put up points in a ridiculous manner.

I think it is as simple as his shot isn’t falling. He is getting good looks and like you said, he isn’t that far off. I think he will be okay. Shooters go through slumps. Gary Trent went though a good one earlier and now if the ball goes through the hoop and doesn’t hit nothing but net, it’s an upset.
Duval has to take a few of the open looks he is getting. His game is getting in to the lane and he can get there easier if he can get the defense to be honest. I don’t like when he shoots either but it’s a necessary evil imo.
Duval stole Allen's shooting abilities and assumed a new identity by changing the pronunciation of his first and last name.
The couple of games before this, whatshisname, former player turned announcer, was saying it that way, and I was getting a bit confused.
He gave them something else to talk about while he's improved his shooting. Clever
Biggest crowd of the year? J-Lo, A-Rod, Micky Arison all in town? No way. My guess is that it is the same for UNC when they go to Miami.
