The Official Duke Basketball Thread Part 3

Good game, guys. Duke was clearly the better team.

Got a hell of a team over there. They will go far.

[Buckwheat]

Thanks, but I don't think so

I don't see much in this team. I am not a big Aaron Craft fan.

[BRAVE KID]

Frustrating as hell. Mason pissed me off soo much in this one..we can't afford to play soft on the boards or on help defense. Got lucky we had the home crowd to energize us cause I don't think we would of pulled it off at Ohio State.

Anyway, I'll damn well take the win. 4th game in 7 days. We beat the #2, 3 and 4 ranked team. Well done. Still got to grow and can't wait to get some size back down there...but I'll take it.

easy, Brave Kid. He ended with 21 and 17 haha

As Buckwheat said, congrats on the win. You guys have a lot of talent on your roster and before long they're going to come together. It's crazy you guys haven't even gelled yet but still have beat some of the top teams in the NCAA. Good luck the rest of the way.

The most frustrating double double you'll see lol. To his credit he fought much better on the boards in the second half.

Duke is playing better than I thought they would thus far this season. Pulling some big wins/

[Penetration]

Being a UK fan - of course you know I hate Duke! It's weird to post this.

BUT..

Why aren't you guys #1 already? You should be #1. Period. Your team has beaten three top 5 teams and Indiana has just two quality wins over Georgetown and a complete thumping of North Carolina. Yes, Indiana can argue that they haven't done anything to lose their #1 spot but Duke deserves #1 more. IMO..

[Yankee Clipper]

After having 3 top 5 wins already...that seems to put us on the fast track to a 1 seed already right?

[Penetration]

You guys will be #1 in a few weeks (If you aren't #1 already as of next week) - Just wait, I see Indiana falling to Butler.

Possibly. I don't really care about regular season rankings. As long as they get the number 1 seed in the tournament then I will be content.

[J4KOP99]

I'd almost rather us stay #2... added motivation.

Duke v. Temple today at 3:15. The game will be on ESPN and will be played at a neutral site in NJ (Izod Center)

Temple is a solid team, coming in with a 5-0 record .

[Yankee Clipper]

I was afraid this might be a trap game, but man they looked great today. Keep rollin'!

Marshall Plumlee will dress vs Temple today but may not play until the 19th. #Duke - Temple set in Jersey,

RT @stevewisemanNC: Coach K said Marshall Plumlee was playing well enough to be team's 6th man before his injury.

Marshall back for the Cornell game?? Hell yea. After that there are about 3 warm up games then ACC play so he should get a good warmup if he does play.
