What a disaster. I didn’t watch the game because I was at a community meeting to see NIMBYs fight developers over multi family housing a few blocks away. Would recommend that over a Duke game any day now.

So for anyone who actually suffered through this, what type of bad did we look? Shell-shocked, tail between legs bad? Lazy and disinterested bad? Frustrated and already in the transfer portal bad?

D) All of the above

Shell shocked/timid/unprepared

Did Duke have a bunch of turnovers vs a press, or were the turnovers more the result of bad halfcourt execution?

Awful halfcourt execution after walking the ball up against the press and dribbling at the top of the key doing nothing for 20 seconds.

 

[bluedevilruss]

There were a couple backbreaking press turnovers sprinkled in as well though.

Imagine an entire lineup of Cam Reddishes repeatedly trying to drive to the basket.

Holy crap that’s exactly what it was.

I would love to see Young, Flip, Mitchell, Whitehead, and Roach as the starters. I know everyone is getting on Roach but he’s best at getting downhill and I think it’s just to much of guys standing around and defense not respecting who’s out there. Also the screen and roll, should change to a pick and pop with Flip. Give Roach space to create he’s really not a bad finisher. Last thought I see a lot of Proctor not ready and Blake’s up/down. Well why not give Jaden some time. We probably get the same stuff out of him as them but a better shooter. The kid can shoot

First off they don't play as a team. There are five individuals playing one-on-one at any given moment no matter who is in the rotation.

Secondly they have terrible fundamentals. How can these super athletic D-1 basketball players all be horrendous shooters and passers?

If Duke is going to have a snowball's chance in Hell to play in the tournament they have definitely need for serious change.

If the performance of the Panthers, Celtics, and Pelicans is as predictive as @rome8180 thinks, we'll lose somewhere around 85 to 60

Was this really posted before the game? Because this is incredible.

Must feel terrible to lose by so much to that team in Raleigh.

 

[bfactor]

It does. Simply outcoached, year after year. There's no two ways about it.

The bit is a little tired at this point. You gotta get a new gimmick.

 

[rome8180]

Must feel terrible for that to be the highlight of your season. Must feel terrible for the players to never play that well again. Must feel terrible to shit yourself versus UNC after the high of beating Duke. Must feel terrible to have a career losing record in conference if you're the coach of that team. Must feel terrible to not have made the NCAA tournament since Trump's second year in office.

 

[Devilsforlife]

5 wins over UNC since 2003. The state of Iowa has more combined. Must feel terrible.

Speak for yourself. Keatts annual trolling of this board is the only part of Duke basketball that brings me joy anymore.

 

[bfactor]

I’m with Fizz on this one. Gets me through these dark times.

 

[Pantone287]

"Random guy trolling the board by realizing we think he's Keatts and embracing the bit" just doesn't quite have the same ring.
