Duke Game Thread

Please post comments here.

SFN in the middle of the game — I just want to go on record that Les Jones is officiating this game. Just want to go on record. More later.

SFN with 9 minutes in the game – why in holy hell is Javi Gonzalez in the friggin game!?!?!

    Don’t panic, make a few shots here and keep on working it inside.

    Giminski – Duke wears you down by excessive handchecking.

    Dook up by 9, under 4 minutes.

    3 straight turnovers by State.

    Fells fails…. Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

    The only thing I’m surprised about is that Fells didn’t paralyze McClure after he cheated and hop scotched back to the goal after he got beat….

    put the red squad in

    Sidney is starting to play man-to-man to force some turnovers. Time for panic mode.

  7. Pack Leader 01/20/2009 at 9:38 PM #

    our line up should be
    degand
    cj willaims
    thoamas
    costner
    mccauly

    I’m still pissed that Fells is in the game and makes THREE critical errors during this stretch. I know he’s a senior, but he makes HORRIBLE mistakes like he’s never played basketball before.

    Who saw this coming…

    We need a miracle now. This was a great game for about 33 minutes, even including our crapfest at the start. Slipping away now.

  11. GolenbockHater 01/20/2009 at 9:40 PM #

    we all did inhoc… we watch because… well, uhmm… somebody else answer.

  12. BassPacker 01/20/2009 at 9:40 PM #

    8 turnovers in the second half ain’t gonna get it done at Dook.

  13. choppack1 01/20/2009 at 9:40 PM #

    If we don’t make both these foul shots, this game is over. (oh, we’re not in the bonus, imagine that.)

    Even if we lose, there is A LOT good we can take away from this game. This is something we can build upon.

    We’ll learn more about this team and coaching staff Saturday vs. BC.

    we need to practice free throws

  15. Wulfpack 01/20/2009 at 9:42 PM #

    Turnovers. Game. Set. Match. DAMN!

  16. BassPacker 01/20/2009 at 9:43 PM #

    turnover # 10 in second half ! Crank the bus.

    Overall, it was a good 35 minutes of play from the Pack. Last 5 minutes and turnovers killed them.

  17. Pack Leader 01/20/2009 at 9:43 PM #

    comon state end the game with a respectable final score so it doesnt hurt so bad

  18. DFMo 01/20/2009 at 9:43 PM #

    “we need to practice free throws”

    we need to practice “what is a smart pass at this level and what is a telegraph that ain’t gonna cut it”

  19. GolenbockHater 01/20/2009 at 9:44 PM #

    3 minute miracle, 10 points, remember GT? Guys?

  20. JeremyH 01/20/2009 at 9:45 PM #

    we have things to build on, but it is so difficult for us to put together a consistent effort.

  21. choppack1 01/20/2009 at 9:45 PM #

    Uh – why is Costner fouling???

  22. BassPacker 01/20/2009 at 9:45 PM #

    “NC State becomes unravelled the last 5 minutes” quote of the year

  23. Rochester 01/20/2009 at 9:45 PM #

    If we bring that intensity the rest of the season we will be competitive. Of course, we nearly beat them in the midst of the 9-game losing streak last year too.

  24. st8family 01/20/2009 at 9:46 PM #

    Can’t put on this Sid.. we got some dumb ass sumbitches on this team.

  25. DFMo 01/20/2009 at 9:47 PM #

    Regardless, we do not know how to maintain late game composure and do not know how to close a game, close score or not.
