Game Thread [2019-20] #3 Duke at Clemson

Hurt went 39 minutes and 16 seconds without scoring. Pretty impressive. Feel like this dude has to return but where does he fit in?

Roach
Moore
Johnson
Hurt
Williams

Is Johnson’s capable of playing the 3? That’s not a bad shooting lineup but not great. Our two best shooters are on the bench.

 

[CMon85]

Lol

I think Steward carves out a starting role

 

[DrKlahn]

That’s a bit surprising actually. It feels like several teams (NC State, Miami) have shot 95% against Duke more recently than that

 

[DrKlahn]

Notre Dame

Damn, which 2014 disaster was this? Wake?

 

[DrKlahn]

Probably Mercer

Quick look, I think it was the win over UNC

 

[aiw]

They shot 60% in a loss

Over who? Moore, Johnson and Hurt start for sure.

Might have been Cuse in the Sulaimon 3 game. Hung 91 in 68 possessions.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

There were probably several teams in 2014 who shot better against Duke than Clemson tonight.

 

[burksballer20]

Not sure exactly. But we need his shooting. My guess would be over roach and we do more of a PG by committee. We also need to see if Hurt returns

57%. UNC at 60% in the Jabari game.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Tremendous.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

If Steward is not playing close to 40 minutes in every meaningful game next season, Duke is fucked. Guards who can shoot and don’t suck at literally everything else on offense are desperately needed at Duke.

A loss like this on the road in January after a string of wins is ordinarily part of the script, even for recent Duke championship teams. So from that perspective, not to worry.

On the flip side, those losses are typically to tournament or near-tournament teams that are more commonly in the 30-50 range in Kenpom. I don't know if it's still OK to take these losses to the #60-90 type teams that we're playing all month even if it otherwise follows the January script. Maybe it is, and we wouldve lost these games in all the other years. Just don't know because the conference is never this bad.

Duke went 27-31 from the line in that win.
