@chuckman1728@Sports_Kings_ Agreed. Duke literally scheduled the entire top 5 😅. A different era now. But I do think - as a Duke fan - Duke has to win those other top 5 games they have between now and 12/1 @ Florida. They need to prove to themsleves they have what it takes after last nite’s debacle.
@Sports_Kings_ It’s two things: 1) The emotion is attached to PTSD from last two tourney implosions where Duke eas the better team. 2) Wasn’t just that Duke lost last nite - they were completely outcoached and soft.
But I do think it’s too early to panic. We will fight going forward.
@TheGodImizz23 I actually agree. But 2 do what you’re suggesting Jon has to have an effective gameplan from jump or be able to adjust real-time. He was completely outmatched by Izzo & so those young freshmen would have been bbq’d last nite. So this starts with Scheyer’ stepping up to the plate.
@DukeNBA HOW did this game end up this close??! Duke should have lost by 20!!
I do think we need to NOT jump off a bridge. This was bad. But let’s see how they play through Florida before making declarations. Have good night everyone 😅.
@DukeNBA Scheyer has to take some blame. Weren’t ready from jump. Gonna be interesting to see where it goes from here through Florida. If they win all the way through - including that FLA this would be long forgotten. If not…😳
@DukeNBA This is a challenge the manhood in the lockeroom at the half type of game. Duke has to BELIEVE they are the better and more dominant team. Not playing like it so far.
@CryBabyAudit Agreed on the fact that that *should* be the point spread. The one question though - and I know this is a sensitive subject(😞)…if Duke builds a big lead can they keep it - EVEN if they win.
In the Kansas game - built a double digit lead twice and lost it both times.
@PatrickWelter When he succeeds the haters are gonna be the *first* in line at his autograph signing events (screaming “WE LOVE YOU”) and trying to get tix for games. That’s how haters operate!
@JustTimNow That said of course Duke fans - ESPECIALLY at at first - did not like that he chose UConn. But at this point - should be clear that both sides came out the better for it.
@JustTimNow Yeah, no - not saying you did. But there are definitely some UConn fans who have used it as an “insult” and some Duke fans who have taken it as one. Not sure why we can’t say Nik found a better system and Duke is not exactly missing him. Both sides won in *this* instance.
