Does Duke ever get called for blatantly obvious fouls?

I felt they tugged Sherrill after that rebound thatcaused him to lose thr ball and get Duke to the line.

Getting outclassed in every way honestly.

From all over the court! Has those Duke players got finger extended. I mean it look like just barley touch the ball and it go their way!

Earlier this season Duke led Kentucky by the same score (46-37) at the half and the Wildcats came back and won it. Would love to see some déjà vu in this one.

Sears and Holloway gonna have to take more shots for us to claw back.

One of those rare times when you feel lucky to be down 9 at the half. Bama 5-19 from the arc, Duke 5-9. That’s 10 possessions difference.

Duke is good but there is no fucking way we should be down to those ass pirates by 9 at half.

Please let this happen.

Rick are you talking about in tv or in here?

Buddy if I turn you guys off I should just delete my account here. I read more on the football game thread! Right now I got it muted! I don't want to hear anything from Sir Crap!

Please let this happen.

More recently, they led Clemson 41-35 at the half and lost, 77-71.

Not hard to guess which team isn't ours...I think people need to calm down a bit. I know we played rough the first half it was definitely not a great half of ball. However, they were hot from 3 and it carried them to this lead. Normally we'd have 3 more made 3s and they would have 2 less. That would put us in the lead by 6 points so let's pump the brakes on doom and gloom about the defense and the way the game went and just tip the cap, they are a hot team right now and shooting hot. We need to cool them off, while also getting our own shooters heated up. We are getting some decent open looks but we just are shooting poorly.

Down 37-31 and we got a stop. Then Sears, Sherrell, and Nelson watched thr ball just roll by them and allowed one guy to get the board and kick it out for a 3. That right there changed this game.

I worry more because Oats really isn't the best at second half adjustments though. At least not yet in his career.

I rewound 2-3 times to see how that happened. That was huge momentum swing.

Stevenson so fucking useless

Has been most of the season.

Mr Cat: "He is leading the team at +6..."

 

[bamanc50]

We’re going to find out how good CNO is and how good senior leadership is on this team. There is no excuse for Duke to be dominating this game. Yes, they’re good but so is Bama. RTR

Stats always back him up. I will say he is effective on D because of his length. But when it comes to the hard stuff on the court, he is nonexistent. You always see Nelson and Dioubate giving max effort to create 2nd chance opportunities or trying to bull doze their way for a shot at the rim. Just always settling for 3. You just never see Stevenson do the junkyard stuff you'd hope from a talented guy like that. Even more so after Oats publicly challenged him to play tougher. Just doesn't have that mentality right now.

May need to get Barker from girls team to help out tonight

If half the team had her mentality, this team is Florida-level good.

We need more length I would play Reid at the 2 and Philon PG.

 

[EasyTider]

We needed someone unexpectedly to show out. Stevenson nor Sherrill seem to be ready to step up. Stevenson was the X-Factor this year and he just hasn’t stepped up all year. Reid needed more PT to knock the rust off, he could have been a difference maker too. Longest hamstring injury ever? Philon and Reid leaving early will suck but NBA not like NFL; they’ll draft well before they are ready
