Gotta love seeing Duke struggle a little with the one and done model.

It doesn't make much sense though with Kennard, Allen, And Jefferson though.

Not saying it's a huge difference because it's still the same players, but Jeff Capel is a terrible coach

It's a huge difference. Coaching and expectations and other miscellaneous tidbits really add up.

They aren't gelling now. Allen is an emotional wreck. Loving it.

Still expect them to be a final 4 caliber team come NCAAs.

Not sure about final 4, but agree that they will be better than they are. Tatum, as talented as he is, kills their offensive flow. He tries to be the man all the time instead of kicking to open shooters. If Allen finds his footing and they realize Kennard should be the first option, they'll be scary.

Big shot by Jones. Texas up 1 on Oklahoma with 2 sec left

Crazy finish. Why chuck a deep shot when you only need a two to tie? Not smart bball but it paid off.

The classic no, no,no. Yes good shot by the coach. Lol

Duke's problems last night:

Smith Jr gets 32 points

Luke Kennard fouls out who they needed on the last play

Grayson goes 1/9 from 3pt range and there is a whole host of others problems and needs to snap out of it

They need Coach K back not saying that I don't like Capel but they don't look like the same team without Coach K

 

[Str8Hoosiers 2,972]

Yea without Coach K Duke has really been tripped up. It has been a fall from Grace on Allen. 

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

Loved Dennis Smith's most disrespectful dunk of all time in Cameron. Just wish Coach K was there to get all indignant about it.

He probably would have gone after him all Max Bielfeldt style

In a different thread Holtman of Butler has been mentioned as a possible CTC successor and questions about his recruiting ability.  At this time Butler has #82 & #85.

Watching Kansas and WVU just makes me realize how much of a nightmare it would be for us to play WVU. Over/under 30 turnovers? I might take the over

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

MSU Up earlu on PU. The first foul call 6 and a half minutes in.

[FortWayneHoosier 6,957]

Purdue looking impressive, playing them will be scary

Nice inbound play by MSU.  Swanigan was asleep.  Easy score under your own basket.  Hope somebody on staff would try that one.

[HoosierAloha 30,102]

This foul discrepancy is interesting. I'm guessing we'll see it go the other way in the second half depending on who's leading.

[TheWatShot 15,603]

MSU gets an 8 point lead then proceeds to puke all over themselves and give it back.
