47 points or not.


We are going to need 95 to beat duke today.

3/1/2008 1:03:38 PM

This is why Ferguson should not be a PG. He is a shooting guard. Can we please put this idiotic nonsense to rest?



We shot 61%. That's going to come down. Everyone knows it. We have to step up our defense and force turnovers to match what duke is going to do.

3/1/2008 1:04:33 PM

we've only got 20 more points left in us.

3/1/2008 1:04:44 PM

we shot like 70% whereas duke shot about 40% and we're only up 3

not a good sign

3/1/2008 1:05:18 PM

^exactly

3/1/2008 1:05:42 PM

Halftime adjustments: 1. Don't let Marques Johnson off the bench. He's more of a liability than anything. I haven't seen anyone turn the ball over that much since Grant last year. Ferguson and Fells should be more than capable of handling it when Javi is not doing so himself 2. Condense the zone. We're allowing too much penetration in the lane, which gives them open shooters to kick it back out to. 3. Rebound the ball! Too many offensive rebounds for Duke. We need to do this as a team, not just one or two guys in there.

3/1/2008 1:06:48 PM

the head acc red is here..

3/1/2008 1:07:23 PM

40% to 70% shooting and up by 3

and we've made 100% freethrows


ouch. we should be beasting them

3/1/2008 1:07:40 PM

Costner still refuses to play defense. I hope he doesn't see any time in the second half.

3/1/2008 1:08:19 PM

plz to stay loose during half time and not get stiff in the locker room

3/1/2008 1:08:34 PM

The halftime line is Duke -8...at least they think we'll only lose by 5

3/1/2008 1:09:49 PM

yeah but how many shots have we taken

3/1/2008 1:10:15 PM

we had 15 fouls to duke's 9 in the first half....

what will the count be in the second half?

3/1/2008 1:10:39 PM

Leave johnson and costner our of the second half rotation. Costner almost did his first positive thing of the game but he got blocked by henderson. He also doesn't block out on weakside rebounding. McCauley has been doing better.



WTF is up with grant.

3/1/2008 1:11:47 PM

looks like we are on pace to break 60 again, that's good.

3/1/2008 1:11:56 PM

duke is going to come out and hand check the hell out of us.

if the refs call it like they started the 1st we should be all right.


i see grant stepping up this half

where did you find a halftime line for this game?? i would be all in on Duke -8

3/1/2008 1:12:56 PM

i expect to see the following linup when the half starts:


Javier Gonzalez, G
Courtney Fells, G
Tracy Smith, F
Ben McCauley, F-C
and either J.J. Hickson, F-C or Gavin Grant, F

3/1/2008 1:13:22 PM

damn, i know it's halftime and all, but that place looks EMPTY

^ i'd like to keep seeing tracy smith in there. he's playing well today.

[Edited on March 1, 2008 at 1:14 PM. Reason : t.s.]

3/1/2008 1:13:26 PM

it's -8 at Bodog

Will this be the game we finally show up in the 2nd half?

3/1/2008 1:16:20 PM

^ hopefully

3/1/2008 1:17:38 PM

they didn't shoot great from the field but they were still 6/11 from behind the arc........the 3-pointer saves their ass every game

3/1/2008 1:17:46 PM

what a tip-in!

3/1/2008 1:18:48 PM

damn that looked like a good block

replay please

3/1/2008 1:18:52 PM

was that a coffeemaker he knocked over when he plowed into the good seats?

3/1/2008 1:19:13 PM

that was a good block. hence... no replay.

3/1/2008 1:19:43 PM

that dunk sounded like a baby pterodactyl being born

FUCK, duke has the softest motherfuckers in history

3/1/2008 1:21:13 PM

How are such obvious travels not called?

3/1/2008 1:21:40 PM

is there a link to video for this?

3/1/2008 1:21:57 PM

if it's not legal to grab a jersey on defense, why is it legal on offense?

3/1/2008 1:23:28 PM

im loving the intensity on the offensive boards

just need to get back on d faster

3/1/2008 1:24:23 PM

paulus is pushing off everytime down the floor

3/1/2008 1:24:30 PM

"they are really attacking the glass"

that's something you don't hear about us very often.

3/1/2008 1:24:59 PM

Unreal we dont get that charge call. UNC or Duke gets that call 100% of the time

3/1/2008 1:25:49 PM

maybe Sidney showed the team the video of that Michigan womens coach before the game

3/1/2008 1:26:19 PM

unreal we haven't given up after not getting that charge call!




JAVI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3/1/2008 1:26:30 PM

anyone have a duke missed layup count going

3/1/2008 1:26:33 PM

what a horrible no charge call

3/1/2008 1:27:06 PM

javi and fergs hitting 3's

amazing what happens when you hit open looks

3/1/2008 1:27:14 PM

we looked duke-like on that last play execution

3/1/2008 1:27:18 PM

im simply in awe of our sudden ability to rebound against one of the most perennially technically proficient basketball teams in the country

3/1/2008 1:27:25 PM

BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE

3/1/2008 1:27:25 PM

yeah, rebounding is the biggest surprise to me today. i'll take it!

3/1/2008 1:28:16 PM

Time for duke to go on a +20 run

3/1/2008 1:29:09 PM

that was a really bad no call... but im glad we answered that 3 with two of our own...

also, i could be totally wrong about this, but it seems like a lot of the fouls we are committing on the shot is preventing them from getting into a good shooting rhythm. If they were going in and still getting the foul call, I think it would be different, but it seems to be going well.


Note: I know nothing about basketball
