MBB: Duke vs Clemson, ACCT (Fri ~2130 EDT, ESPN) Pre-Game and In-Game Thread

[CDu]

Settling for jumpshots. And committing dumb fouls. Not a great start. Hopefully we settle down soon.

[NYBri]

I hope we've had our obligatory five or six minutes without scoring in the first half.

[ChrisP]

I cannot believe our utter lack of poise on offense. Maybe it's due to Clemson's defensive reputation, but it's like we cannot WAIT to jack up a bad shot! We need to be a bit more patient and get good shots and I think we could win this easily. So frustrating with the offensive weapons we have on this team

[arnie]

Great. Now Roper will be the player to have a career game against Duke.

Weak call on the foul, though.

We look uncomfortable on O- just like at Littlejohn

Another one

Clemson manhandling Duke in the paint. Maybe the refs will let us contest a jump shot?

I really think that it's more of an effort thing. No one is moving without the ball to help out.

[dukelifer]

Clemson is defending Duke very well.

[Les Grossman]

just very poor shooting

[sporthenry]

2 fouls through 15 minutes for Clemson?

[_Gary]

This is thoroughly depressing thus far. We've been horrid on offense, although a part of that is Clemson's size/length down low. So far this a Clemson kind of game.

[ChrisP]

Yes, but I think the poor shooting all begins with poor shot selection. We are settling for...basically any look at the rim instead of a good one.

[bleedingblue88]

Hood and Parker 4-18 collectively. Yeesh that is recipe for quick exit in the tourney.

So far. I think Duke tried to push the pace to tire them. But it affected their O. Clemson has settled in.

[NYBri]

Let's stop Hall please.

[dukelifer]

A couple of nice oops

[NYBri]

Defense!

[JetpackJesus]

Those alley-oops are pretty high percentage shots. More of those please.

[sporthenry]

Halftime coming at a bad time. Duke seemed to have settled down. Hopefully this continues to start the half.

[dukelifer]

Need to PASS the ball. That will work against this D.
