Game Thread [2023-24] NC State (NCAA E8)

[DurhamSon]

Just a complete failure to stop him in any way. He almost didn't miss this half and still had 6 asissts

Was that Greg Fishel

Jared with a quiet 32 in his last game at Duke….hope I’m wrong!

 

[ZackM]

We shot a higher percentage from 3.

Wish McCain had been used like the #1 option all season. Feels like the biggest failure aspect to it.

 

[DurhamSon]

How the fuck did Keatts finish 10th in the ACC with this roster? Jesus

 

[dukeboy911]

horrible job by Jon today

 

[mkvl04]

wish mccain would return. we actually might make the final 4 next year.

I hope Foster and McCain return, but I said it before, Proc is canceling him out. If McCain return, I don't want Proc to return. I barely want him to return at all after
this one

 

[ZackM]

Our ability to create good shots was as bad as our ability to force them into bad shots.

55 points second half for State. SCAR had 60, right?

He’s a shit coach who will now be there for the rest of the decade after this run.

 

[dukeboy911]

Inexcusable performance

 

[Pantone287]

McCain with 13 points after the game was decided. Love it. Extra gone.

 

[dukeboy911]

a fucking 11 seed and that's how Jon gets his boys ready?

65. Still the worst half I’ve ever seen us play. This one might be second.

 

[dukeboy911]

its certainly one of the worst halves.

 

[dukeboy911]

don't even know what happened

 

[dukeboy911]

they basically hit us in the mouth and didnt stop. we didnt have an answer. not a single guy from our team stepped up. no leader. Flip fouling out was kinda bullshit tbf.

 

[Dukenation12]

The desperation to make good use of the portal is painfully unrealistic. That’s something I don’t put any blame on Scheyer for. By now everyone should realize the Board isn’t letting Duke take transfers unless they would be accepted at Duke without playing basketball.

Pretty much agree. When was the last time Duke got a solid guard/wing transfer? Feels like it was Seth Curry.

 

[Slap the Floor]

It wasn't just the 2nd half, the team was terrible the entire night. The defense was good in the 1st half, but the offense was an abomination.
