Put your post-game thoughts here. No venting or bashing of players or coaches.

Here’s to never watching that game again.

If Zion is out for the year it’s got 2016 vibes. Sweet-16 would be a spectacular accomplishment.

Rough one .rj and cam gave it some hustle.we gotta get some bench play.on to the next game.

Praying much for Zion right now but right now it looks like we lose this and the next two. Worse yet, the cheats look like they’ll win the regular season given their light schedule going forward. Absolute nightmare.

[CoachJ10]

Negativity at the door people. Constructive criticism is good, piling on is just poor.

Credit to the Cheats...they played about as well as they could tonight.

We will regroup.

Prayers for Zion.

Lol 100% ever ever again. That was an all time stinker.

[CDu]

Well, that sucked. Hopefully Zion gets healthy soon. We aren’t winning any titles without him this year.

Frustrating misfortune. Again. This time it cost us the driver’s seat for the ACC regular season. We still control our destiny, but the road just got a lot harder. Especially if Zion is out the next few games.

Here’s hoping for good news on the knee.

Here’s hoping DeLaurier is ok too.

[J4Kop99]

Zion only played 33 seconds. That's really all that needs to be said. Chalk this up to extreme circumstances.

Now you just have to hope the injury isn't too serious. Not even for Duke's sake but for Zion and his family.

Honestly, we got about as much as we can expect from the bench. They aren’t going to be game-changers on offense.

[84Duke]

Easy shots > hard shots every time.

[bbq-devil]

Write this one off as young kids in shock after the injury and UNC playing well. If Zion comes back this means nothing. Prayers for Zion and his family.

Good effort. Next Play

No, actually the Cheats shot very poorly from 3 and they are a very good 3 point shooting team. It could have been much worse.

[ChicagoCrazy84]

Only thing I want to ask is how in the world do we not have someone other than Williamson, Reddish, and Barrett that can score with any efficiency? This is what alarms me more than Zion’s injury itself.

[elvis14]

First time I've seen us lose a game 33 seconds in. Last 2 losses happened when guys got hurt early and we didn't adjust.

That elbow thrown that cut Javin above and below his eye was worse than anything Grayson ever did in 4 years at Duke, BTW.

Deleted the recording before Sportscenter started.

Let’s get some payback at the cheater dome.

[CameronDuke]

The boys fought as hard as they could. Cameron was obviously deflated 33 seconds into the game. The team and fans were shell shocked. We lost our confidence quick. Obviously this game means little compared to Zion’s health. I’m praying for him.

Let’s Go Duke.

[duke79]

How many people on this board predicted we would lose by 16??

[fuse]

Hope Zion is ok.

Pretty much the worst case scenario for Duke- UNC’s speed kills.

Stat of the game for me was it felt like over 50% of our steals were then turned right back over, and we had a couple run outs where a Carolina player caught up and prevented the layup.

Never like losing, especially to unc. Mostly hoping for good news about Zion at this point.

[rsvman]

Carolina did what Carolina does. We made no adjustments to their typical playbook.
We shot like crap. Tough, tough loss.
