MBB: Duke @ BC Pre-Game & In-Game Thread (2/8, 1800 ET, ESPN)

Their guards are hammering Cook.

He has been caught 10 feet away from his man a couple of times.

[TKG]

Ahh. Doris Burke does play by play in my nightmares.

Hey, at least you don't have to listen to Bob Harris. I am driving back to Raleigh and Harris is the only option. He is just awful. Nice guy, I am sure, but just a brutal play-by-play guy.

I do not worry about this game. RS and MJ and TT will do the job today. Problem is we will see such small teams in NCAAT 1 & 2 round. I do not want to see Lehigh game again.

Where is Marshall?

Where is Marshall?

Bench.

Knee issue.

[Sixthman]

Where is Marshall?

Great question. Either not a good matchup or he is under the weather.

[CLW]

AWFUL defensive effort the first half. guys wide open falling asleep on back door cuts etc... 115.9 on D thankfully the O is its usual form 133.6. one of these games though (most likely in the dance) the shots just won't fall and the ? will be can this team play anything resembling a decent defense.

I always give Bob a two count before accepting good news.

In...and out.
Foul... No they're saying it's a charge.
Touchdown...No it was intercepted.

Yada yada yada.

Laura Keeley tweeted he's out with a non-serious knee issue.

He's just old. Used to be incredible, at least I always thought so. Still has a great voice, just a little bit slower on the uptake these days. Better than Woody Durham...

Doris said Parker fights through contact. Well if he doesn't, he'll never score.

[fisheyes]

Sheed to Parker...a thing of beauty!

Word!!!

[Selover]

After that ridiculous Sheed to Jabari dunk Doris says, "I think Jabari should have kept it." WHAT?

[bbosbbos]

Millions of hands hit Parkers arms and hands when he touched the BB.

[duke09hms]

Jabari's defense is woeful, constantly leaving shooters open at the 3-pt line.

[bbosbbos]

Many many Duke fans said good things about the past Doris. But I think Doris has become ridiculous recently when commenting Duke.

[fisheyes]

For goodness sake...What does Coach say at halftime to unleash what we are seeing now?!

[ChrisP]

I think just about all (if not all) of Quinn's 3's today have been ill-advised shots but...hard to argue with 4-4, I guess

[cwarner62]

While he hasn't shot great, I think Rasheed's had an awesome all-around game - it seems like he's becoming more of the point and Quinn is becoming more of a 2 and its really working well. And it looks like Rasheed is giving a lot of leadership and motivation to Jabari. A couple plays before the give and go fast break dunk, it looked to me like Rasheed was yelling at Jabari, who was fouled while triple teamed underneath, that he needs to pass out of the triple team (Rasheed was wide open in the corner). Later Rasheed gave Jabari a little shove from behind to go step out on his guy on defense.
