If Kyle plays anything like he did last time we played GT he will be the ACC Tournament MVP. Last time we played Tech in Cameron, Kyle had 30 points and made 8 of 10 three pointers. LET'S GO DUKE!

where are all the duke fans in Greensboro?

State fans are gonna dump their tickets like nobody's business. Tech is gonna be tired, lets wear them out, and make them feel like they are playing in Cameron. If you're a Duke fan and you have $50 (tickets will probably be that price or cheaper, I'm serious) come help will Duke to an ACC championship.

No, I mean where we play two good halfs. The first game Duke was tied at half and today down 3.

If Duke wins and Kyle doesn't lay an egg I think he has tournament MVP wrapped up. He's had 2 great games already. That being said... I think we will need a good game out of Kyle to win it all. More importantly than anything we need a good defensive effort from the boys down low.

It's hard to gauge how this game might play out. In the first game, we shot incredibly poorly from 3pt range (6-28), and lost. In the second game, we shot incredibly well from 3pt range (12-18) and Favors and Lawal had tremendous foul trouble, and we won big.

I don't expect us to shoot it as badly as we did in the first game, and I don't expect us to shoot it as well as we did in the second game.

But obviously controlling the GT bigs will be huge. It will also be important to not let GT get a lot of easy buckets or open 3s.

We're not a team that's built to play pressure defense, but we may need to do some of that to force some turnovers. GT has looked pathetic in handling pressure in these first two games. Had Maryland pressed for 40 minutes, they probably would have won.

GT has the length, athleticism, and talent at key spots to be a dominant team. But they don't play very smart, and we have to take advantage of that and get them out of their rhythm.

GT will be a tough opponent.

1. Duke forcing TOs. Miami only had 8 today against Duke. GT had 16 against State and IIRC 27 against UMd. The Devils will need to deny passes into the middle and harass the somewhat shaky GT guards into mistakes.

2. Control Favors and Lawal, which will be easier said than done. Favors is playing far, far better than in the two previous Duke-GT games. Zoubs and LT will have to stay out of foul trouble and the Plumlees will have to repeat today's effective performance.

3. Good perimeter defense against Rice and Bell.

4. Stay hot, Kyle! Stay hot! Get hot, Jon and Nolan! Get hot!

One word:

And a question:
Do you think we'll press at all given GT's inability to handle it and the fact that it's their 4th game?

GT will be a tough opponent.

sagegrouse

Perennial Duke loather Mark Bradley of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, who has been saying for months Tech will go farther in the NCAAs than Duke, certainly thinks so.

"This is the most gifted team in this conference, among the five most gifted in the nation."

http://blogs.ajc.com/mark-bradley-blog/2010/03/13/techs-in-the-acc-final-and-are-we-shocked-yes-but-no/

Of course, Bradley also has consistently been writing that having Paul Hewitt as the head coach is not one of those gifts.

ChicagoCrazy84
03-13-2010, 08:35 PM
The way I think of it, while some schools will be glad to get the extra few days off, we have to take full advantage of this opportunity. This is a great test before the real madness begins and we should come into this game with full on intensity with the thinking that this is an Elite 8 game. Forget about being tired. We have to play the game so you might as well play it hard. No excuses. If we can overmatch their intensity, we should win this game without issue.

I was going more in the direction of the LEGS of Tech. I'd much rather be in our position right now...we had the early game each day whereas some teams didn't even have an 18 hour break.

Of course, like you said, it's about intensity as well. We MUST bring that. If we do, I am hoping those shots clank off the rim for Tech tomorrow.

#2 is the one that scares me a bit as Lawal and Favors are very talented players. So far we have done a good job containing them, but the best defense for them is to have Shumpert, Oliver, Rice and the back court try to take over the game and not get the big guys the ball.
Tech is certainly a very talented team that reminds me of Kentucky lite in that they can beat about anyone, including themselves. (Unfortunately, it looks like Kentucky has matured a lot this year and may just have played their best game of the year against Tennessee.)

Expect a tough game -- GT finally figuring out that to win they need to feed the ball to Lawal and Favours. The two took 42% of the team's shots and made 71% of them.

To beat GT we'll need Zoubek, Lance and the Plumlees at the top of their game.

Faustus
03-13-2010, 09:36 PM
This has got to be the first ACC Tournament to lose an hour before the final due to Daylight Savings and thus allowing even less time for resting up. But on the other hand, there's a fair chance that Hewitt will not realize this change in the clock, they'll show up an hour late, and find they've forfeited the championship. We Win!!! :)

NCS took 21 more shots in their game today, and only made one more, essentially losing the game at the foul line...GT took 13 more fouls shots, with both shooting under 60%...amazing: take 21 more shots in a college game and lose! Lets hope Duke gets 21 more shots...I think they could come out on top.

Singler is playing at a very high level and Zoubek is so much better than when Duke lost to GT. I think the best advice to Scheyer and Smith is loosen up out there and have some fun. They are very capable players and if they play their game they will be winners.

We'll have Nolan back for this half past the fouls and Dre played big--the team has been needing him to give that. So glad to see it for them and HIM. Kyle doesn't look like he has the LEGS like everyone has mentioned previously (that short armed hook he took was the biggest sign, moreso than the FT's) but hopefully he's got a second wind in him for this coming half. Let's get this thing pulled out and earn that ACC title.

not exactly the best way to close out the half, but Kyle's bucket with under 10 seconds restored some of my confidence. Up 7 at the half is a better place to be than where we were in either of our other ACCT games...
In other happy news, Kentucky is losing at the half.

03-14-2010, 02:07 PM
I've been enjoying the Raycom commentator combo: even though the Gman's offsider referred to Greg (!) Zoubek. But the highlight of the game to me was Kyle Singler's attempted takeout of Vitale, who I presume is one of the commentator's on ESPN. Nice move, Kyle! Close but nio cigar!

Tucknut
03-14-2010, 02:09 PM
Now that was fun to watch. Nolan on fire early, Zoubs - a horse on the boards, Andre breaking out... my vocal cords need a break.

Now if Kyle comes out with the same 'take charge' attitude he's shown in the 2nd half the last two games, this should be another fun half to watch.

No late season slump this year!

I want to be sure I understand what you're saying. You're saying that the cumulative effect of 3 minutes extra from a game in January or February - heck, every game in January or February - means that guys are tired now in mid-March. That's 30 minutes total of basketball. A half hour of activity over 2 months. I would be willing to wager a very substantial amount of money that an extra half hour on the basketball court over the course of 2 months has no meaningful negative effect on a player's stamina, energy, strength, etc.

of course it does, but the game is much more intense (obviously). just would have liked the guys sitting down a bit more, esp. when games were in hand at the end.

Obviously. So instead of sitting 2 minutes in the game, you dial back practice for 10 minutes. It's a pretty simple concept really.

The players look tired. But so do GT players. And I think the last couple days has more to do with than the 20-point win over Wake Forest.

I want to be sure I understand what you're saying. You're saying that the cumulative effect of 3 minutes extra from a game in January or February - heck, every game in January or February - means that guys are tired now in mid-March. That's 30 minutes total of basketball. A half hour of activity over 2 months. I would be willing to wager a very substantial amount of money that an extra half hour on the basketball court over the course of 2 months has no meaningful negative effect on a player's stamina, energy, strength, etc.

Why to baseball coaches sit players for a couple innings in random games in May, to keep them fresh for games in October??

Because it cuts down on the bumps and bruises, wear and tear, and everything else. It's just just pure minutes, its all the extra that comes with it.

I think the fact that 3 games in 3 days has more to do with Scheyer's fatigue than anything else. Study your biology people.

I don't buy the talk of end of season fatigue for Duke. Is our conditioning regime so much worse than other teams? For instance, how much have you heard people talking about fatigue for Ohio State? Instead, you hear OSU's starting five being called the "Iron 5."

So why is the perception that Ohio State has the "Iron 5" while we have worn-out, tired players?

Hey folks, tired or not, we are still winning. Others are stepping up. All is good. So far.

I can actually hear the Duke fans cheering, and make out Dee-fense and Let's Go Duke!!! Doesn't happen very often at tournaments. Are there that many more Duke fans than GT fans at the game?

Thank you Zoubek.

Didi anyone have any doubt Ky would somehow come back in those final seconds?

Another pathetic display. Anybody who STILL thinks Duke is a #1 seed is...an optimist.

taking the shot clock down is great, but you have to get a decent shot

Scheyer needs to step up and take the ball. He's actually moving AWAY from handling the ball.

i was lamenting the terrible collapse by MSU vs Kentucky in another thread. It looks like Duke is determined to do the same. Come on boys, don't make bonehead mistakes!!! Close out the game strong!!!!

Again, too tight. Need a score on this possession to widen the gap. No reason why we have this kind of trouble against an inbound press.
