Duke/UNC Official Thread 2021/2022 (K’s Last Hurrah Edition)

[RDU VOL#14]

Not a lot of whistles in Game 1. Hope that carries forward. Let the players decide it on the court.

We’ll see what happens. I expect Duke to try and get points in the paint and attack the basket. Duke didn’t take many 3’s at all versus Arkansas.

 

[Dudleys87]

Didn’t see Kansas dominating Nova coming.

Seems like itll be a tough hill to climb for either team.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

No matter what happens . You will be reported for using a Will Smith slapping Chris Rock meme after this game because you are an unoriginal POS.

Not gonna take shots unless they actually win a title. All in good fun though

He’s had pretty good bigs over the years. Laettner was ahead of his time for a stretch 4 or 5. Cherokee Parks was good. Elton Brand was NPOY, Boozer was NBA All Star, Sheldon Williams was good Okafor won a title, and Bagley and Carey were solid. Point Guard play has always been the key for Duke titles, much like Carolina. Hurley, Jay Williams, Scheyer played great in 2010 managing the offense, and then Jones. The reason Duke is playing today isn’t Banchero, it’s Jeremy Roach. He’s taken control of the team. Where he goes, Duke will go.

The guard comments are really accurate. Especially the part about Roach. He’s the leader of the team. And now he’s finally aggressive

I'll look in on this game between innings of TennESSEE-vandie BASEBALL. First things 1st.

John has been outstanding so far.

 

[Regulator]

Ugly shooting thus far.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

I don’t want hear anyone bitch tonight if Bacot gets called for an illegal high ball screen. Watching this replay of the first Duke UNC game he was easily initiating contact, extending elbows, using knees. This should not fall into the “Duke gets all the calls” narrative that I’m sure will happen tonight if something like that is called.

Finally

Duke gets the calls?

John got called on that?

 

[JCHateSteve]

Big foul call there.

 

[Regulator]

I thought that was going on Bacot, but John must have had Bacot’s arm hooked first.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Gonna have to play zone. That was bad

 

[volfanbill]

choosing bad threes over penetrating the lane the last ten minutes. Not going to work

So many wasted possessions.

So many wasted possessions.

No reason they shouldn’t have played more like Roach’s last drive

How quickly things change

 

[RDU VOL#14]

How quickly things change

It all changed on a 50/50 ball that got batted around like a beachball UNC got it, hit a 3 and cut the lead from 7 to 4. Roach needs to slow down

 

[volfanbill]

Duke’s age is on full display

Banchero saving that ball followed by Williams foul was just dumb
