Have to get to the bucket. This isn’t the Duke team of the past four games. They need to get aggressive because they aren’t a team that can live behind the arc.
Not just yet. Carolina has been terrible from the outside but is still right in it. Of course - Duke hasn’t been great either.
and a fourth foul!
Backup center
He’a given them good minutes but his role was to prevent their actual good center from picking up his 3rd
I actually thought Nova was playing right into the hands of Kansas in not slowing the pace in the 1H and was questioning what Wright was thinking.
Speaking of coaching……when is a big most susceptible to fouling? The correct answer is when they are fatigued. So Kaye leaves Johns in with 3 fouls when he’s clearly running on fumes. Makes zero sense.
My mom grew up in NC (I was born there, but moved away very young) as a diehard UNC fan, and raised me the way she was raised: her two favorite teams are UNC and whoever is playing against the Wolfpack. Duke's her second favorite team (hence mine as well), Wake is #3.
For people whose fandom cement set pre-1990, that's not that uncommon.
Wtf refs? You have the entire timeout to go to the monitor…..so you wait until the teams are back on the floor lined up to shoot FTs? Good god
He's not skilled offensively at all. Incredible rebounder but not a good scorer. Everything he does offensively is very awkward.
The guy behind Coach K with the “Guster is for Lovers” sticker on his laptop got that covered up now.
He's had 8 or so points in just a few minutes. Did he do much more against UCLA? That game he seemed to make a bunch of critical threes late to close it out. Hopefully he can do the same tonite.
Bacot isn't good offensively but holy crap that guy is an incredible rebounder. He gets EVERYTHING on both ends of the floor.
Agreed. He's not as good defensively as Wallace was but man on the glass? Unreal. In the tournament so far:
vs Marquette: 10 reb
vs Baylor: 16 reb
vs UCLA: 15 reb
vs St. Peter's: 22 reb
vs Duke: 19 reb and counting
AVG: 16.4 and going up
Hated the two 3s Caleb settled for.. seems like Carolina has them on their heels.. with all their bigs in foul trouble.. drive like you said.
