Duke Basketball 2023 (27-9, 15-5)

Ingram is going to be in this team's nightmares tonight.

That was very frustrating. I think I yelled every time I saw Mitchel sag to help, leaving Ingram wide open anywhere from mid-range to three. Sag off Cadeau if you must, but not Ingram.

Still top 10, I'll take it.

Proctor out today. Didn't make trip to Tallahassee. I fucking hate the sorry ass acc refs. Blow to the head on a drive and no review vs Wake, IIRC.

[CameronBornAndBred]

Another 20 win season

What a wide open can of whoopass!
Nice to see everyone on the same page this game. Sooo close to hanging 30 on the Hurricanes.

Yeah, that one was fun to watch. They were shorthanded, but we did what good teams are supposed to do and made them feel the absences. I loved that there was no clear "best player" in the game. Everybody did something good yesterday.

[CameronBornAndBred]

A very well played game totally ruined by a bunch of hippies literally running over Flip and sending him off the court injured.

The ACC better fine the fuck out of Wake.

Won't happen. It's a Duke player who got injured so who gives a flying shit about it.

And now we can add a State Stomp. Although really, that game came down to three minutes in the second half, when we got stops and hit shots to turn a one point deficit into a 10 point lead.

[CameronBornAndBred]

I enjoyed watching the first half with Flip sitting almost all of it out. Seeing everyone else step up and show how they could play together was truly fun. Ryan must have set a personal record for minutes played in a single half. I think at one point, Proctor was our only starter on the court.

And we played State even for that entire time, too. We weren't hanging on for dear life just waiting for Flip.

GTHC!

In the DBR betting contest, I picked Duke (-5) to cover. However, I’m going with Duke 75, Carolina 73 as my official prediction.

This is a nice link from WRAL Sports to keep yourself up to date for the tourney. It's an interactive bracket with real-time scores. They had the same thing for the women and worked great.

There's still 5 minutes left in this game and all I'm seeing is a very short post-season.

[OZZIE4DUKE]

Fuck. Shit. Damn.

[CameronBornAndBred]

Vermont won't be an easy win, and Wiscy/JMU winner won't be either.

I won't be shocked if we are not Sweet Sixteen bound this year.

I'm fairly confident about that first one. Less about the second. But I still think our chances of making the Sweet Sixteen are better than 50:50.
