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.

About 1.21 Jigawatts

    Just thinking out loud. That be what game threads be for. And probably subcounsciously trying to engineer reverse mojo.

    There’s a lot more possessions left in this game, I feel. Enough to fight back.

    Only pride in the effort keeps me from turning it off now.

    Why the need to declare “game over”?

    1st Half
    Duke 39 State 38

    Duke 50% FG (5 – 3ptr)
    State 67% FG (1 – 3ptr)

    2nd Half
    Duke 26 State 16

    Duke 67% FG (2 – 3ptr)
    State 28% FG (1 – 3ptr)

    Yeah, that’s why it’s game over.

    Ok, it’s time to stop shooting, Ralston. You’re drunk.

    16 points this half. That’s it.

    The adjustment on Warren effectively killed our offense.

    Clemson did us no favors by putting a scare into these guys. And K did do a remarkable job with halftime adjustments. Credit where credit’s due.

    And thanks, Dickie V, for that insightful analysis: “You know, Duke’s really tough when they have the lead.”

    Well this proves we aren’t an NCAA tourney team this year.

    Can you guys imagine though how good we’ll probably be in a couple of years when TJ is a senior? Gonna be super sweet.

    I’d like to see one more mini-run just to get the final under 10.

    Duke wants us to get back in it with their missed FTs. We gone cold, though.

    One big difference between Duke and State…Winning and Losing isn’t dependent on Parker scoring 40.
