MBB: #2 Duke vs #4 Ohio State Pre-Game & In-Game Thread

Like how aggressive Sulaimon has been this half.

When we are struggling to get over the hump to break the fever, plays like the missed layup from Sulaimon, where he should have stuffed it, seem to replay in my head. Obviously it is a small thing, but hopefully we find a way to overcome!

Just when I type something like this, he does something like that... and TOTALLY REDEEMS HIMSELF!!!

[FerryFor50]

Dang it. Followed up a great 3 with bad defense. Need to be more consistent down the stretch...

Would it be worth it to shut Seth down until conference play after tonight? He's clearly hurting and just tweaked something. Maybe he needs to keep going on his injury but seems like good time to heal a little.

Rebounding better this half.

I agree with this line of thinking. Granted we have one of the best training staffs so I'm sure they know what is best but if a month or two off or even just playing sparingly will get him healthy, then I'm all for it. I think I heard something like sometimes you just have to run through shin splints.

But limiting his action will also allow us to get more PT for some of our youngsters.

After a terrible 1st half, Sulaimon has really put on quite a show in the 2nd! Keep creeping closer...

I don't want to get on Mason but he has to bust his you know what to get back to his man. You can't give up a 2 ft shot like that.

So far just haven't come up with the STOP to give us a shot to get over the hump IF we can ever get a lead I think Ohio St. will crack.

[Gthoma2a]

Dang it. Followed up a great 3 with bad defense. Need to be more consistent down the stretch...

We have little margin for error to get back in this thing. We have to realize that and start doing the little things. TIE GAME!

[DukieInBrasil]

Back to back 3s and it's a tie game!!!!!

[FerryFor50]

No foul with the body underneath. But a jump ball? Okayyyy...

[J4Kop99]

a jump ball? tough

[BlueDevilBrowns]

Karl Hess you are soooo annoying!

[J4Kop99]

a little money from mr kelly!

[Gthoma2a]

WOW! I love this team. This may end up being just as impressive as a blowout just because we proved we could handle adversity (as long as we close it out).

[FerryFor50]

Now THIS is how you answer adversity!

Big shots, tough D and rebounding!

[sporthenry]

Looked like a jump ball. Great block on his part.

Kelly starting to come on. Still forcing a few shots but once he gets going, Dukes offense should be pretty good.

a jump ball? tough

Right call but late. Worked out though.

[Eternal Outlaw]

Urban Meyer has really been great to Oho State. Undefeated football season and taught the b-ball guys how to get away with chicken wings and stiff arms while driving.

[J4Kop99]

big put back. Way to follow the shot mason!

[A-Tex Devil]

Deshaun Thomas has a horrible plus minus. Thad Matta should bench him.
