All I can really say is GO DEACS! There's no other way to get freshman ready for ACC than by playing at Cameron.

Our idiot coach should tell someone to guard Kelly

Floppy, floppy,  foul,  floppy floppy, shoot 3's.  That's duke.

Damn kelly looks like a Amish *****, doesn't buzz know that Amish people can shoot 3s also

Rountree needs to play up top on the press, so he can use his long arms to disrupt the pass.

Does it really matter? He is hitting it with hands all in his face.

Duke is 9 of 15 outside the arc (60%) and 3 of 14 inside the arc (21%). Perhaps we should force them to play inside more.

Gaudio said you need to guard the point line as he smiled at the camera!

Are you kidding? The next time we actually contest a 3 pt shot this game will be the first time

Way to finish the half strong and cut into Duke's lead.

Wake actually played a good first half, EXCEPT for FTs; Missing inside chippies; TOs.  Duke gets every call, every time at Duke which does affect the game.  It is frustrating but happens at Duke without exception, no matter who is playing there.  Sad really.  If Devin and Moto could finish inside, we would be pretty close...

incredible how much Duke relies on 3s

Incredible how much duke relies on the flop.

Considering the 3 point barrage we're doing good to be as close as we are. Foul trouble will kill us in second half. Look for Duke to get easy baskets if Devin picks up 3 and 4 fouls

I agree  There were some pretty bonheaded plays that didn't help us.

asctually thought we did okay and hung in; we're not going to win, but the effort hasn't been bad.

think I'll mute the second half; Jay Williams is annoying me beyond belief.

Another area Deacs have done well is rebounding-- 18-14 Deacs.  Devin and Travis lead there.  They have done a good job on Plumlee inside too.

It should be against policy to let homers do alumni games

I was pretty pleased with our effort, on both ends - we couldn't finish a large number of plays, but we were aggressive. Keep up that kind of effort and it will pay off in later games.
Actually looked like we were trying to rebound on both ends.

This is the concern second half and why we're still in the game. Moto also rebounding well. Moto and Cav with 3 fouls means Tree will have to get some minutes at 3 and Travis moves to bigger man. If Thomas gets 3 and 4 early. Washington is our only big or we go small and lose the rebounding edge. Tough second half coming. Lets see how coaches position the players to avoid this dilemma.
