Nice win for Keatts and the PackNC State just upset #2 Arizona in the Bahamas!
Really glad the NCAA did the right thing with Braxton Beverly - he had 20 points, 2 assists, 2 steals, and just 1 turnover.
Coach Keatts had been impressive since day one, now we see that he is just as good an in game coach. Archie who?
Yep this should be the cherry on top for his recruiting.
best christmas present eva.All I want for christmas is duke to play zone. 89 points to bc.
I missed this game...what was the deciding factors?WOLFPACK!!!
11 point win over the Devils tonight
Duke didn't defend the pick & roll very well tonight. State was very efficient on the offensive end. Good balance with the scoring. Yurtseven held his own and pulled down 9 rebounds, he didn't let Duke speed him up when he got the ball inside.
Duke's utter inability to defend. Combine that with the disappearance of Grayson Allen, and Duke can't win a road ACC game to save its life. Krzyzewski has, sadly, suffered a steep and sudden decline in coaching ability. It'll take missing the NCAAs (possibly next season) or another first-round exit for most people to realize it, but he's likely nearing the end.
Not being mean or malicious here but I dont think Dukes players are smart enough to run it effectively. They are young and never have played it in their entire basketball career. They dont do it on the AAU circuit so I doubt its a concept thats easily mastered. WHy bother when half of them will be gone after this season?
I think most of us expected an up and down year, with real improvement starting next year. I'm with you, I have high expectations long term.
Thank god that didn't happen! oh wait.I’m not sure that would be worth breaking the streak.
They made 15 frigging shots in a row during that game and still didn't win. I don't think I've ever seen a basketball team make 15 FGs in a row, let alone lose the game in which it happened.oso diablo said:
I think NCSU just did it two weeks ago.
Not going to check, the pain is still fresh.I just did a quick two minute scan of the play by play and I couldn't find more than 4 made shots in a row.I think NCSU just did it two weeks ago.
Oh, we're talking about two different things; I never pay attention to Clemson games in CH, had no independent knowledge, and misread what you wrote. Sorry.
I honestly don't know if this is true, and the dork in me is kinda curious. Nobody seemed to make that big of a deal about it in any writeups I saw, but my intuition tells me it's incredibly rare, especially in the three point line and shot clock era. Google wasn't really all that helpful, despite a couple different attempts.
Maybe they were too focused on Clemson's streak, truly one of the most ridiculous in the sport. Clemson doesn't win much anywhere in the state of NC, either. I think they have about six or seven wins ever in Durham. It was mentioned in the writeups, but they didn't make a big deal of it. Seemed like a bigger deal to me, but who knows. I think you're right, just overshadowed by the losing streak inCH.If you find out, post it and @ me. I know a Yale kid hit 30 or so across multiple games not long ago, but upon reflection, perhaps a team hitting 15 in a row would indeed be ultra-rarefied air (or net). But it seems like someone would have mentioned that in your postgame writeup.
He's obviously insanely athletic and very strong. But he's carrying too much weight, doesn't shoot well (from outside anyway. Good FT shooter) and his level of HS competition has been HORRIBLE (seriously, his opponents are all like 5'9 private school kids).
So you think they found a way to cheat on the recruiting trail the last 25 years, will get caught by the NCAA , but get off without penalty? Sweet!
