Winthrop handed St. Mary’s their only loss. Lost to SoCo favorite ETSU by 2. And Fresno St by 3.

Gotta say, I've been fortunate enough to watch Winthrop play locally in the SoCon tournament the last few years. They aren't the same team from last year, but our boys had better have woken up post SFA. Winthrop doesn't get star struck.

It's gonna be real interesting to see what happens tonight. Will Duke come out with a purpose full of fire and grit, or will they let Winthrop hang around like SFA did the other night? I'll be curious to see if coach K shakes things up tonight to get his point across. I've read where Winthrop has some good Big guys and are also a good three point shooting club. I just hope the blue devils know they can't sleepwalk on anybody this year.I would imagine coach K has been drilling that into their heads the last three days. We shall see. Go Duke!

I look for Coach K to send a message tonight. My prediction is we see Justin Robinson be the first sub for Vernon when he needs a rest. Coach K has been known for surprises before. GoDuke!

Are you guys still ragging on Javin DeLaurier? Coach K only played Javin 6 minutes against SFA. In those six minutes, Javin had 2 rebounds and a block. Do you really think K (or anyone else, for that matter) should single out Javin as the reason we lost the game, to the extent that he needs a "lesson"? Really?

Not a good time to play us. Duke wins by 30.

Depends if SFA exposed some fundamental flaw with our team. If so, then this game might be a struggle.

Absolutely. But we need both offense and defense to play well.
Neither looked exceptional vs SFA.

Other than offense and defense, we look good! Special teams?

Need a strong showing going into next week.

So much for being a great defensive team.

And what happened to Tre?

Can't stop guys penetrating and can't get to rim at all lately......wonder if there is an injury?

Looks like more of the same from the SFA game. I hope something changes soon.

On the plus side, Joey and Matthew are looking good.

Halftime thoughts:

—A hard truth we have to swallow is that this is not the kind of team that will blow out decent-to-good mid-major teams, at Cameron. With a defensive identity we'll wear teams down on the best nights, but if the focus drops against anyone except the worst of the worst, we can get beat.

—I'm shocked at the quality of the perimeter defense, what happened there? Easy blow-bys galore, leading to easy-layups or wide open threes, of which we're very luck they missed most. Were we fooled by the first few games, or is there a concentration lapse, or what?

—We've figured out how to work Hurt into the offense, at least better than before, and that's awesome. He's great, just like we knew he would be, and it just won't do to let him fade away. Love what we're seeing so far.

—Despite his rep, Goldwire really isn't that good a defender in the halfcourt set. Not sure what he brings to the table, and feel like he's the next man who will slowly vanish from the rotation.

—Another rough defensive performance from Vernon Carey, including some lazy steal attempts that led to buckets. He has more work to do on that end than we thought.

—Tre is having a kind of mini-slump this week, but love his energy at the end of the half.

—More and more, Cassius seems like our hidden engine. We need to him to be active on offense, he creates so much even when he's not scoring.

—Wendell is just really not looking great. I thought he'd gotten over the timidity/uncertainty on offense, but today it looks worse than ever.

—There should be a rule against the kind of foul Winthrop's Jones drew at the end of the half, where you stop suddenly to get run over.

Yowch. Another rough half with some bright spots from Hurt and Baker.

Hoping for a more confident and cohesive effort in the second half.

Not this game, the defense has been much better with Goldwire. Tre is getting killed on the perimeter.

I’m in Cameron with you, Matt. Fun game so far. Winthrop is pretty good. This has been a coming out party for Hurt and Baker.

The lead could have easily been double digits at the half had we not had those brain farts.

Things not looking good for Alex as Baker looks better on both ends of the floor.

Clean-up those bone headed defensive lapses and we'll be fine.

Music man55
11-29-2019, 08:02 PM
Well, Hurt and Baker are a bright spot. Not trying to be negative, but I just don't see any defensive fire tonight. What happened to that defensive identity that we were talking about last week? Maybe the second half lights a fire in them and they put this team away.

hallcity
11-29-2019, 08:04 PM
Our problems are twofold. First, we’re not forcing TOs. Winthrop has about 4 in the first half. Second, Vernon Cary is a liability on defense. Winthrop has too many points in the paint with Cary in the game.

Stanley is hurt. I really hope it wasn’t his last play at Duke. But if it’s an ACL....

rocketeli
11-29-2019, 08:10 PM
The offense is still the same so-so it always was (it would be nice if Baker and Hurt can keep up the shooting) but what happened to the defense. After not letting any team, including some good ones get up to 70 points on us these last two games the defense has been a sieve.

Oh no, as I was typing this, Stanley appears to have done something to his knee. Hope it's not serious.

ACLs aren’t generally pain in the back of the knee, where he was holding. But it definitely didn’t look good. :(

The fact that he couldn’t walk off on his own means it was likely severe, whatever it was.

Yea, we won’t see him Tuesday night. Bigger question is more concerning. Here we go again...

accfanfrom1970

Just so sloppy. We’re letting them hang around. The idea that somehow we were a defensive team has been completely refuted by mid-majors. I shudder at playing the top ACC teams.

JF needs to admit folical defeat and get rid of it all. The high and tight with the comb forward of the mostly bald spot just smacks of desperation.

heyman25
11-29-2019, 08:41 PM
They certainly are not meeting our coaching staff's expectations tonight. Defense is not good. Carey is a work in progress. Hurt and Baker have been a big plus. Javin has played much better. Alex O'Connell just offers so little off the bench.He can't make wide open looks.Tre needs to sharpen his passing decisions.

Any of our gurus know? Could we take the cake if we lose this one!?

I would think a loss here and a loss to Mich St would take us out of the too 25 the following week. Hopefully we get 1 though.

Sloppy turnovers, dumb defense... really frustrating to watch right now.

There’s a guy on this team that makes me cringe whenever he touches the ball. Two if you count Moore, but he’ll work his way out of it.

Fingers crossed for Stanley.

Big step forward for Baker.
Another step back for Moore.

Tough week ahead.
