MBB: Drury Pre-game and In-game Thread

[slower]

So you're quitting on the team in the first half of the second exhibition? Or, do I misunderstand you?

I'm not "quitting" on them. I'm saying that this (by all online appearances) is a miserable showing by a Top 5 team. Are you implying that it's okay? Or do I misunderstand YOU?

Drury is giving our guys a tough time, which is exactly what they need going into the next couple weeks.

Ouch. At the game and just waiting for Drury fans to start chanting Football School...

It's an exhibition game. -- sagegrouse

It's worth noting that we usually win exhibition games by 30-50 points easy, so while yes - it doesn't matter - it is worrisome for Duke. Duke isn't usually a slow starter team.

Alright everybody, deep breath. I agree with slower that this was a terrible half in just about every area. Bad halves happen, bad games shouldn't against a D-II team. Let's see how Duke responds in the second half before it comes to fisticuffs. Or wordicuffs?

Hood is just so smooth.

unconfirmed rumors of large amount of benches and chairs outside home locker room at CIS at the half. Along with several 5 gallon buckets of paint being delivered...

I'm sure this is clever/meaningful or both but can I get an explanation?

It looks like Hood is the only one who brought his shooting touch today. We are missing some point blank put-backs in the paint.

It means K moved some furniture and peeled some paint during his halftime discussion with the young men wearing Duke uniforms.

Is there a site for the running stats of the game?

Jabari looks a bit off. He's shown flashes, though. Hood has been excellent on both ends. Cook just made a ridulous lefty pass from the top of the key towards the interior and it was easily picked off.

K has been known to remove locker room furniture and names from lockers after remarkably poor performances in the past (well, once or twice perhaps). The need to re-paint a locker room after a half-time blistering by the coach is merely sports jargon.

Everybody looks off, except Hood

Thanks. Beat me to it.

I agree it is a bit worrisome, but isn't Drury better than your typical exhibition opponent?
