MBB: Duke vs Marquette pre-game and in-game thread

[deezl]

Don't plan on seeing the start of the DUKE game. Tipoff time allegedly 7:35, as per Duke radio pregame show. Still halftime of OU-ky.

espn strikes again.

I'm 99% sure it'll be on ESPN3 as well.

Edit - I'm looking and I don't see it on their site. I was almost positive it said on the ESPN ticker on TV that it was ESPN2 and ESPN3.

Doesn't a half usually take around 50 minutes of real time?

I tend to worry a lot and believe in Karma. Duke or any team for that matter should not overlook their opponents and take for granted they will always win.

Yeah i agree. Don't get me wrong i yell at every possession and it ruins my week if they lose but ever since after we beat UNC last year in Cameron i haven't worried about any game to be honest. The only one i was a little hesitant was going in the elite 8 Baylor game.

Not only is it a word, it's without a doubt the greatest word in the history of humanity.

Oh, too funny! Well said.

[deezl]

Just to confirm it will be aired on ESPN3. Found it

Vitale in the booth tonight . . . ugh

[anon]

I just wish there were more advertisements on the floor...

[Duke: A Dynasty]

Mason is playing like what scouts say he should be. He going strong to the basket, finishing and looking aggresive.

[ajgoodfella7]

That was Mason's best 6 minutes of basketball at Duke.

[Duke: A Dynasty]

O and the game is also on espn 2 if you do not have espn3

[kmspeaks]

I'm closing the laptop after this so I can focus but I just have to say . . .

THIS IS FUN!!

[DukieInBrasil]

wow, we are looking good, no, great!!!

[Bluedevil114]

Passing looks great so far and the threes are falling. Duke up 23-9.

[Duke: A Dynasty]

Wow this is so much fun to watch. Duke is playing lights out right now 23-9 and Marquete calls a timeout after our second 3 in a row. We are pushing the tempo really hard rigth now. And Dick Vital is loving it

[Jderf]

Vitale is not at his best (whatever that would be). Changing topic mid-sentence has been a problem. And he's already used the phrase diaper-dandy twice. But you gotta love the guy; he tries so hard.

[Teton Jack]

I can't remember a game so early in the season where the ball movement on a break looks so good. The pass between Mason and Kyle off the break and the pass from Irving to Seth. What beauty!

I was never a huge Vitale fan but I gotta admit, he has more passion for college basketball then just about anyone.

[Duke: A Dynasty]

Vital's diaper dandy count is up to 3 now i believe and Duke just allowed a little run but still looking fairly good. Seems they were rushing shots a bit to much in an effort to keep pushing.

[Jderf]

Mason has been huge so far. 7 pts, 4 blocks, 3 boards, and two assists. He's 3-3 from the field. Let's see if he keeps it up.
