If espn3 doesn't work out you can use this link. Not as good of quality as espn3 but much better than we got for the Elon game.

Thanks. As others have noted, ESPN3 isn't showing it like I thought they would (and it's now 7:05 so I stopped holding out hope). I assumed after all the ESPNU games earlier this season that were on '3' that they all would but, but alas it appears it ain't so.

Thanks for that link. It shows up in a 3 inch square on my tv. Let us know if a better link shows up please!

The maximize/fullscreen button is below the video halfway out of the box (so hard to see and click) for me. Perhaps you can barely reach it at the bottom (about 1/3 of the way across from the left)

Many thanks! ESPN3 let me down, but the DBR forums never do!

Mrs. K. may not appreciate JWill commenting on her use of language unsuitable for TV. My wife has been known to drop some choice words but I know she wouldn't want me to tell it on National TV. Maybe that's just a Southern thing though...

Got it! Thanks!

We jumped on UNCG quick but they settled down. Duke is ratcheting up the pressure on their ball handlers. I like it - hope to see us push the pace some.

Also Seth started tonight, which as Jason Williams mentioned, allows Nolan to play off the ball a little more.

I have to admit I am much more "giddy" about this win than I thought I would be! Going into this season there was no doubt that it was going to happen, so its not like a big surprise. But now that its here, I can't stop smiling.

I really like seeing Seth starting at point. I've said before that I think in the long run he will give us the best option (other than Kyrie), because it frees Nolan up to do what he does best!

Are commercial breaks on EspnU a little shorter? Seem to be...

Our defense is quick tonight. I feel good about this!

I think splitting pg duties, with Nolan being the lead, between Nolan and Seth is a good approach so neither feels burdened. Nolan helped shoulder the load with Jon last year.

Also, Seth could be one of those guys who plays better as a starter. If Andre can get his points either starting or off the bench then it could work. Well see.

Or maybe we get Kyrie back in March!

I just got into the game with 2 minutes left in the half. What happened with Dawkins. I see he didn't even get one minute of PT in the half. Is he injured?

[Fuqua's Finest]

Call me Devil's Advocate but I don't like our defense or rebounding tonite. It's a given that we're gonna blow out UNCG, however I would like to see out defense lock UNCG up in the 2nd half. I'm sure the guys aren't playing 100% focused because of the level of competition, but still we shouldn't be giving up as many Offensive boards as we have.

Overall, I think the part of Kyrie's game I miss the most is his interior passing. Our current offense reminds me a lot of last years, which isn't all that bad but I would like to see Miles and Mason be fed more often against inferior competition. I remember the game against Marquette where we gave Mason the ball time after time after time. Now it seems we've gone back to the fake pass to Mason, swing it around the perimeter a few times and settle for a long jump shot. I can't wait until our real season starts next week!

"Kyler" Singler has 22 points lol. I thought Kyle was one of those names that you couldn't mess up...

OK so "Yes sir, may I have another" may be the call of the year.

[Gthoma2a]

I hate hearing that Kyrie is gone (with bravado on the "GONE") over and over. I get tired of hearing how vulnerable we are now. I know he is gone for the time being. We all know that he could be out for the season, but to act like we are now just an ordinary team in the ACC is outlandish. I am not denying the differences, but enough with the counting him in/out for the season too early in every broadcast.
