UNC and Duke Basketball, 2015-16

[kid50]

Pound the paint and guard flopper Allen and we should be ok.

Berry>Thornton
Paige=Allen
Jackson>Jones
Hicks\Meeks<Ingram
Brice>>>> Plumlee

1. Berry is not better than Thornton. At best, they're equals. Thornton is one of the better on-ball defenders we've had in a while. He slips up every now and then, but for the most part he'll pester whoever he's on.
2. I wouldn't be surprised to see Chase Jeter start and actually play a lot of defense if he can stay out of foul trouble. If he can just be decent that gives us a better since Ingram does not like to bang down low.
3. If Duke wins, it will be bc Kennard has a good game. He needs to be an offensive spark off the bench that he usually is.

Overall, I think Duke has the advantage at the guard positions, it's equal at the wings, and UNC has the adavantage in the post. If Duke wins, it'll be by playing great post D; if UNC it's by shutting Allen and Kennard down. It's as simple as that.

Lol Berry has been a difference maker. He is easily better than DT. Berry is probably the best on ball defender as well...

Alright Prediction Time:

It's going to be a battle of styles. I can already hear Volprof *****ing about all of the threes Duke is going to take. I think Carolina wins 82-74. I hate to say it, but that's what I think happens. That said

GO TO HELL CAROLINA

89-81 heels

No defense either way.

Most revolutionary development in the history of the game, except for perhaps the 7 foot center. I expect them to shoot around 40 tonight. The three point shot: the Great Equalizer.

My prediction is I won't like the outcome. One of those scenarios where Duke is never really out of it, but never a real threat either.

 

[AV_12]

Brice guarding Jones because he sucks lol



And flopper Allen already has 2 fouls on Joel.

 

[AV_12]

Hope he is ok tho

 

[AV_12]

Dang Kennard is on fire

 

[kid50]

Idk what's going on with Ingram, but he needs to settle down some. If it wasn't for all his missed point blank layups this game would be tied.

 

[volprof]

Feels like UNC should be up by 10-12 points. Credit to Duke for keeping it a close game. Both teams have been Swiss cheese in the low post.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

If Duke can survive the first 5 minutes of the second half they have a punchers chance.

Hanging around and hanging around

Hanging around and hanging around

Yes &#128513;

 

[RDU VOL#14]

Don't ever ***** about Duke getting all the calls ever again. Clearly not the case tonight.

 

[AV_12]

How about get the ball out of Allen and Ingram's hands?

Way to sh!t the bed, fellas. Brice Johnson couldn't be stopped, yet they shoot jumper after jumper instead of feeding him the ball. ******mit.

 

[AV_12]

Anyways, idk how you have a guy like Brice go off and lose. Also, how many times does Ingram and Allen have to iso before you run another man at them?



Also, call a Damn TO
