Recap of Last Night

Review
January 18th, 2014 (Durham, NC)
Duke 95
NC State 60

Nothing went right. I mean absolutely nothing. Even Buckets was just Average. It’s pretty simple, everything the Pack did in the first game, do the opposite.

ADVANTAGES

PREDICTION
KenPom likes Duke by 9, Vegas opened at Duke -10.

TJ is going to get tired today from carrying the heavy workload. I also think it’ll be a 5-on-8 game if it’s even close. The Pack used up all it’s magic on the final 6 shots last night and the run comes to an end today. Yes I’m being negative, it’s worked for the Pack so far.

    Defensive Rebounding…a lack of it is a killer.

    I’m hoping someone, somewhere can get that through to Gottfried and soon.

    Oh well. Gonna come up 1 win short of the NCAA T this year. Good run. Would like to get the blews in the ACC T one year on even footing…not after playing 3 in 3 days while the blews are on game 1 or 2.

    Nope…Duke just played its Nat Champ game today.

    Pure and simple.

    Outplayed and outcoached in second half. Couldn’t expect to shoot 65% for the entire game. At some point, had to get stops and defensive rebounds. Microcosm of season right there. Questionable rotations in there for long stretches in the second half. Stuck with some rotations and schemes way too long. The zone was atrocious, and the personnel we had in there while running the zone was flat out bad.

    Really surprised that we went to the 2-3 instead of the 3-2, which we saw versus UNC.

    Of course, the TV guys will not give State any credit for the in-bound pressures. It has to be that Duke has let off the gas…

    The Heels made up 8 pts in 17 sec, once. Not likely, but. Good effort in spite.

    Turner kinda sucks.. and he’s supposedly the future. Hopefully he learns how to drive to the basket in the off season.

    Food for thought… Could you imagine how good we’d have been last year if we replaced CJ Leslie with TJ Warren as our feature offensive player. Aww well shucks heck darn it.
