Duke vs Davidson (at Charlotte) - Jan 2, 7:00pm ESPN2

[bdotling]

Not worried as much about Seth disappearing versus Mason disappearing

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Encouraging: Mason makes both FTs in a bonus situation, Sulaimon grabs 7 boards, Kelly shoots better, Thornton.

 

[bdotling]

Quinn has scored well too. Wtf is this live look in

 

[bdotling]

Espn producers can suck my balls

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Cool, ESPN3 took me to the Syracuse game so I could see Boeheim win some number of games that doesn't matter anymore.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Cook in stallball is excellent.

 

[bdotling]

Mason can't even dunk

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Mason was terrible by his standards but was doubled a lot more than usual. It takes balls to leave all of Duke's shooters open all game.

 

[bdotling]

We may cover the Kenpom spread

 

[ChibCU]

That double was not handled well by Duke. Should have been better preparation to pass out of it.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

If Marshall is healthy but simply not earning playing time over Hairston, are we getting Hairston as starting center next season? Or is Marshall still broken somehow?

Cook
Sulaimon
Hood
Parker
Hairston

?

Mason was terrible by his standards but was doubled a lot more than usual. It takes balls to leave all of Duke's shooters open all game.

True but it affected the rest of his game. Turnovers and rebounding stank.

Quinn has been awesome this half

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Duke covers the Vegas spread and matches the computer projections. Just another dominant performance by the #1 team in the country.

Hope they take first halves seriously moving forward but doubt they do with Wake and Clemson as their first ACC opponents.

 

[DurhamSon]

Somehow our Kenpom D-rating will go up after this game.

 

[Maxwel]

No cameo by MP3???

 

[DurhamSon]

8 assists as a team tonight. 8


fucking terrible

 

[ZackM]

Somehow our Kenpom D-rating will go up after this game.

Defensive efficiency was very good tonight. Especially considering their offensive efficiency.

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Duke finished at 72% defensive rebounding, which will actually bring up their average from 68%. They'll likely crack the top 200 in defensive rebounding. Against Davidson, they should've done better.

78 defensive efficiency against a 110 offense should bring Duke's defensive efficiency into the top 10.

 

[bdotling]

That's pretty amazing. The second half defensive effort was stellar though.

 

[dukeblue2010]

Uh... Mason?!? Are you sick?

That wouldn't surprise me the way we subbed him out so early and often, not to mention the quality of play.
