Tuesday, January 23, 7pm ET, ACCN
KFC Yum! Center

Kenpom: #194 overall, #170 offense, #244 defense

Jon Scheyer tries to put off the hot seat discussion for a little longer. This would be a career-altering loss. After yet another loss as a double digit favorite, the conversation would have to begin about the future of Duke basketball post-Cooper Flagg.

Where's Capel in that picture?

Maybe the fucking knee pussy Mark Mitchell will come back and stopped getting fucked in the knee pussy and unfuck our defense and rebounding. Yes, I meant to type it exactly how I typed it.

Knee pussy = penis fingers

IYKPYKP = If you knee pussy, you knee pussy

Lots of hateful rhetoric being spewed here, which I suspect is due to a political agenda. Mitchell is in a position where he has to sit out for any minor soreness in order to preserve his top 10 draft stock. Didn’t hear anyone hating on Zion for sitting out a bunch of games at Duke.

Losing this game is really going to suck.

So what’s the word on Roach and Mitchell? Last I had read about them was early in the week, and they were “day-to-day” or something equally trivial. I was pretty surprised to see they weren’t playing last night.

 

[aiw]

I was surprised about Roach because Scheyer seemed to downplay any concerns early in the week. I always took Mitchell's status as Dukespeak of he keeps getting better, but then doesn't play for 6 weeks.

 

[Pantone287]

Apparently neither could practice 5 on 5 before the game and Jon said that's required to return, or something. Apparently Roach had a setback Thurs. Sounds like Clemson is the most likely return for both.

 

[rome8180]

Well, fuck. Season over then. About to have a Quad 4 loss. This team just doesn't have enough scoring or defense without those two.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Duke is favored by 14. We are just one night away from the Fire Scheyer After Flagg talk beginning in earnest.

 

[DrKlahn]

I’m not gonna watch, I’ll just wait for Apple TV to tell me “Upset Alert: Can Louisville pull it off?” at 8:40pm

 

[CK86]

Louisville predictably on fire from three.

 

[Ladevil]

So pumped for Stewart getting some burn.

 

[mkvl04]

How my squad doing

 

[DrKlahn]

13 people on here predicted a major upset involving a Kentucky team tonight. Take a bow!

kenpom 84-70, btw

Stewart wasn't too much of a spaz. Played well. The Flip, Stewart, Mitchell lineups were kinda insane, but actually worked?
