MBB: Duke v Indiana (Tue, Nov 27, 930pm, ESPN) Pre-Game and In-Game Thread

He'll get better. He just needs to make better decisions off the bounce and be more aware and aggressive on defense. Don't forget that these guys are freshmen who haven't played 10 games yet.

Totally agree. Plus, when teams go zone Duke will need his outside shooting. Some may say Duke can go to AOC, but I'd like to have Reddish out there as well. He just needs to play his game. He proved it already against UK. He just needs to get consistent. November and December is a fine time to work on that.

Is that Trajan Langdon sitting behind Coach K? Next to a woman with a small child?

Yes and looks to me like he's sitting next to Ricky Price.

And K’s jacket just came off!

True, but he's so far behind the other frosh. And decision-making will require discipline, which he may be lacking.

Barrett really needs to be less committal on his drives. He decides he's going to shoot 4 seconds prior and it's just predictable for the d. Bring out a floater game RJ!

Absolutely right...and good defense teams can stop his effectiveness when he does that.

[ChrisP]

Ugh, we have fouled a BUNCH in this half. No flow on either end of the court

[Old Dukie]

Good time to play some zone for experience...it will be needed in future with all the fouls these frosh commit.

O'Connell only reliable Dukie FT shooter.

O'Connell only reliable Dukie FT shooter.

Cam Reddish was 94%+ coming into the game. I'm not sure he hit the rim on like 80% of them. I realize he has missed all 3 today but...

I'd call him a reliable FT shooter. Everyone has an off day.

Jack White is also a pretty good FT shooter thus far.

No flow in the second half, and being outscored.

Hearing about Zion and cramping not great, either.

Reddish misses again...the truly reliable ones don't miss 4 in one game.

Another Reddish miss!
