MBB: Duke vs. Elon Pre-Game and In-Game Thread

[GGLC]

Duke is a very good FT shooting team; for the season, we are shooting 73% from the line. Compare that with other contenders who are mostly sub-70%.

Pfft...facts.

[uh_no]

73.3% on the year, 60th in the country.

They *haven't* been putting up performances like this.

hey hey, now no fair letting facts get in the way of a good hypothesis!

well, now we've taken 3 FTs, 1-3. That's kinda lame, lack of focus.
MP3 continues to have never hit a FT in his Duke career. He's already got his career high in points though, and seems to be playing pretty well.
Well, since posting that bit first, we've stunk it up from the line even more, still at 33%, but 3-9 overall. Terrible focus from the boys in that regard. Regression from Amile there (0-2) and Hood continues to struggle shooting (carryover from last game), as he's 1-8 FG and 2-4 FTs.

Amile was clearly affected by the elbow stinger when he took those free throws.
All in all a very relaxed strong performance by the boys.

Congrats to Nick Pagliuca on his first career point!

Nick already has more made free throws in his career than Marshall does (1/2 vs. 0/15).

I think Marshall's game is improving leaps and bounds. Today you could really see the depth of the talent on this team!
