The last pessimistic game thread title I penned was before the FSU game last fall. So if by some miracle we win…you’re welcome.

    “This is one of those character losses that pay off later. ”

    oh come off it… give it a rest. We’re .500 in the ACC, we are who we are.

    We lost this game at the line. We missed almost half of ours and Mason Plumlee made 12 of his 16 attempts. He destroyed CJ all night, and his foul shots were well deserved.

    I am very optimistic going forward, but I hope we can learn to make our free throws. Our offense can bail out our defense if we are making our free throws or if the other team is missing theirs.

    Big Rich went for 23 and 9, and Tyler went for 13, 6 assists and 0 turnovers. They deserve a nice round of applause.

    phillypacker- Bayonne Bombers they are (Dook Cheerleaders).

    We did well not to get blown out by 30, after a crappy start. Can this team learn anything from this? That seems to be our problem. We have had the same issues all year and you just can’t play big time ball like that. The RPI still says 19 but I’m not sure.

    Outscored by 20 points from the charity stripe.

    Surprised Renee Chou is doing the post game report at Cameron knowing how racist the Duke students are towards asians.

    The “where is Yow” comment was funny.

    If they can get back to playing two halves of basketball, which happened last year after the Duke loss at Duke, they will be an excellent basketball team that could win the tournament. I have a lot of confidence in Gott getting more out of them and the team getting more cohesive. It is kind of late but college basketball is ultimately about what you do in March.

    What was the final line of FT disparity

  10. elvislives 02/07/2013 at 10:44 PM #

    Would be nice to see Leslie play up to the level of his hype once. Just once. Who honestly thinks he’s even 3rd team All-ACC this year?

  11. freshmanin83 02/07/2013 at 10:45 PM #

    3 pointer duk – 10 of 24, Pack 4 of 8

  12. phillypacker 02/07/2013 at 10:45 PM #

    Alias, I’m not saying they will transform into a solid group. The effort level is varied among the starters every night from start to finish of every game. Hard to do much long term unless that changes.

  13. Jediwolf 02/07/2013 at 10:46 PM #

    11-19 to 32-41that’s the ball game.

  14. TheCOWDOG 02/07/2013 at 10:46 PM #

    Sarcasm Mr. Plywood? That was supposed to be a full on parody?

    Was it over the top?

    I think not as their seemed to be agreement??

    LOL

  15. freshmanin83 02/07/2013 at 10:46 PM #

    ft – dookies 31 of 40, Pack 11 of 19

  16. phillypacker 02/07/2013 at 10:47 PM #

    Hard to have Leslie be such a focal point, but this team is who it is.

  17. NCSU88 02/07/2013 at 10:48 PM #

    So, is CJ Leslie the David Amerson of the BB team?

  18. elvislives 02/07/2013 at 10:48 PM #

    Unfair and displaced anger towards Leslie. Would absolutely rather have him on the Pack than the opposition at any time. Just frustrated that he hasn’t developed the killer instinct, bbiq or presence on the court that I thought he would have figured out by now. With all his talent, the game shouldn’t be this hard for him.

  19. eas 02/07/2013 at 10:48 PM #

    Lewis and Lo should be our main combo going forward. Lewis is the real deal at PG. This was a crazy good Duke team tonight and Lewis had absolutely 0 problems!!!

    That being said Howell is better than Calvin and is the glue for our team. Vandy just gets worse every game BUT he should have been in the game much more to guard PlumPee.

    ooops sorry old numbers 32 of 41 like someone already posted for duk

  21. TheCOWDOG 02/07/2013 at 10:49 PM #

    See Ply? Just check ’em out

  22. Pack1998 02/07/2013 at 10:50 PM #

    Yea man, I hated that MD point guard. He popped that 3 with 0 secs left and we had a crappy team anyway.

    Regarding the Refs, we gotta bitch about something. We had our chances and didn’t capitalize. Now . .. I’m a firm believer Coach K gets calls, because he works the refs, so our coach has to work the refs. It is just part of the game. To come back from 20 down you needs some breaks, they got them last year when we were up 20. yes.

    We’re 5-5. Oh well. Still a good team. Better than what we had, and the future is great. Should be a tough out in March.

    Most important – at leas we are all excited to watch the Pack play.

  23. freshmanin83 02/07/2013 at 10:51 PM #

    Pack wins the 2nd half 48 to 40 … yeah

  24. wufpup76 02/07/2013 at 10:51 PM #

    Well, at Clemson turns into almost the biggest game of the season thus far for us.

    Eight games left … We need at least five of them.
