Carter is so good, but he gets completely lost on pick and rolls. It killed Duke tonight. That and Allen is either sick or hurt or both. He had no legs tonight. Every shot was short.

It’s not like he’s the only one struggling on D. Every guard can easily be beaten by simple dribble penetration. In zone I get, it’s supposed to be picked up, but it never is. In man, it just creates open shots

I agree. He just seemed lost more than usual. The entire D is just bad.

I don’t care who the opponent is, if Duke plays like they have tonight and K actually plays guys off the bench they will go far in March.

This team's inconsistencies will kill them. They might make the FF, they could just as easily go out the first weekend.

This comeback is huge, but I still don't think this teaches them they can't get lackadaisical from here on out.

Duke scored 30 points in the final 8 minutes tonight. Unreal, especially against a very, very good defensive Miami team. Big time comeback. That’s going to give them a lot more confidence going forward.

I don't think it will. I think they will still have complete lapses for long stretches at a time. The good news for them is that there is no clear #1 team. Not even a clear top 4. Arizona, MSU, Nova, etc all have weaknesses. There's 12-15 teams with real shots at a number one seed right now.

You're just going to leave us hanging like that? No update? Did your streak and end you find some lovin' last night? Or are you still in your drought? Chin up, buddy...it'll end at some point!

I don’t go through droughts. I thought I’d make a bold statement and it was definitely wrong.

Death, taxes, and Clemson losing in Chapel Hill. Never fails.

I’d say Clemson as well, but if he were to pick UNC it’ll be a fun matchup next year with him and Little vs Barrett and Reddish.

Did not see that one coming! No idea how Barrett, Reddish, and Williamson will all mesh next year but I can’t wait to find out.

Can't wait for those excuses when they get knocked out early

I can’t wait for the haters to act like picking the field over Duke in a 68-team tournament is a bold move, and like anything less than a championship is an embarrassing failure
