MBB: Duke vs. Florida State Pre-Game and In-Game Thread

Down 1, 59-58 with less than 3 minutes to go.

Go Duke!!!

[wgl1228]

Can we play some D for 2 minutes!

[ajgoodfella7]

I just don't see what the big rush is for Nolan tonight. He needs to slow it down, which I'm sure he knows.

[Fuqua's Finest]

Singler has made this game respectable for us, but really why Kyle. Could you have not gotten a better shot after a couple of passes? Ughhh

[BigZ]

Singler has been great but that was a terrible decision.

[DukieInBrasil]

Singler had no business taking that 3, early in the clock, from way out, and guarded. Bad decision.
Nolan's inability to get a clean look on the last fast break was also crucial.

[TheRob8801]

Well.

3 things.

No defense down under. No surprise, been that way for years.

Live & die by the three-pointer. When we don't shoot well, we have major trouble.

Can't create offense out of the half-court without a cut PG (Kyrie), been THAT way for years too.

FSU played the best game they've played all season and Duke arguably played the worst. Gotta lose sometime.

[ajgoodfella7]

Oh man Mason. If you were gonna do that you should have just done it 20 seconds ago.

[HateCarolina]

Where was Plumlee looking when he got that foul? He and Miles always seem just a little lost...maybe the earlier comments about low BB IQ are correct...

[HateCarolina]

We keep bad mouthing Nolan and he goes down and does stuff like that...

What? BBQ?

[HateCarolina]

Well at least we got the first loss out of the way. Now the undefeated season thread can be deleted.

[Krzyzewskiville]

Horrible night.

St. Johns lost
Duke lost
Knicks are losing (most likely a loss)

Thanks Plumlee's way to have a post game.

[TheRob8801]

I like how that mugging on Nolan wasn't called a foul just because of game situation.

Way to be refs, way to be.

[Fuqua's Finest]

Good game FSU. Bad game Duke. It's pretty sad when you can count on one hand how many post passes we've had this game. I'm sure Coach K will use this as a teaching moment. But it certainly sucks right now. I hate to say it, but boy how I miss Kyrie...

[dairedevil]

Wish the ACC would put in a rule about rushing the court. I'm always afraid somebody will get hurt..although I can understand the youthful exuberance over beating #1.

[BleedsP287]

Hats off to FSU. We got outplayed and outcoached tonight.

[TheRob8801]

Seems like whenever anyone beats Duke nowadays they rush the court.

Says something about the program K runs though, doesn't it?

[Mabdul Doobakus]

FSU deserved that one. Every time we got close they made big shots to maintain their lead. We sucked. It's going to have to get a lot, lot better. I got nothing else.

Funny I was thinking the same thing, but it only really annoys me when it happens after a team beats us...I guess I would probably have done the same in my youth...
