Duke vs. NW Missouri State (7pm ACCNX) pre-game and in-game thread

Lack of depth at the 5 will be this teams downfall.

So, a few minutes into the first exhibition game and we're doomed already? Got it. Thx.

Here is the live stats boxscore: http://duke.sidearmsports.com/sidear...dual;team=home

Carey and Delaurier with 8 turnovers combined so far. Not optimal for big men playing against dudes 3-5 inches shorter than them.

JGold with great D, forcing TOs. We look...like it's the first game of the season? Rusty isn't the right word but it's kinda like that

[Billy Dat]

26–19 with a few mins to go in 1H. Goldwire making a lot of D plays these past few mins. No sign of Baker.

I'll just join in the general sense of irritation with the entire ACC Network/ESPN/cable company schema. Thought I was good to go with these, but something apparently went wrong somewhere in the byzantine relationships between those three frustrating entities, so no basketball to salve the wound left by that football game.

I'm seeing from the box scores that we're off to a poor shooting performance from deep so far. Anyone watching able to say if that just looks like jitters or a worrying continuation of the trend from the Countdown?

The streaming channel situation is totally messed up. I signed up for Sling to get the ACC network and ACCNx...this game isn't on it - BUT I found it on the ESPN app which I set up using my Sling credentials. I also have Hulu for a 7 day trial to watch the World Series and it has the ACC Network but *not* ACCNx so it doesn't carry it.

Weirdly when I went to watch the football game and selected it on the ACC Network, rather than telling me it was blacked out in my area (which I expected) it *redirected* me to some Fox Sports affiliate which I didn't know I had. Progress! The Aristocrats!

Focusing on the D was the key to taking the lead. It is definitely going to take some time to figure out this rotation, but I’d say playing good D seems like the way to get tick at this point.

The same person who thinks Cutcliffe’s job should be on the line. Why does the negativity not surprise me?

[Sixthman]

We’re a little challenged at the end where you score tonight; Half court offense nearly non existent; the wrong person shooting often.

Seems like we’re going to have a lot of “offense/defense” choices between guys like Hurt and O’Connell vs Moore/Goldwire/Stanley.

Defensively going small really helped, but going 5 around the perimeter on offense with that lineup made no sense given that there was so little shooting respect that the spacing did nothing to open up the lane. Might as well send some of those bodies inside to try and rebound.

Goldwire with some really nice defense and a good transition pass. Missed two freebies though.

Robinson hit a 3 and had a block but hasn't been seen since.

Carey had a couple of screening fouls and turnovers.

The upperclassmen have missed 3's and at the rim.

Coach K looks angry and frustrated.

Team is looking for an identity and struggling with a more experienced team.

This team will frustrate all of us many times during the season. But there is talent there. Just need to learn how to play together.

Any idea why Vernon Carey hasn't seen the court since the start of the first half?

I mean it goes Carey, Javin, and then playing White or Hurt out of position. Given foul trouble / injuries, not sure how you’re not at all concerned.

5 TOs do not help your case. Moore needs to stop shooting threes.

[BlueDevil16]

What recruits are at the game? Looked to be a few behind K.

[BlueDevil16]

The same person who thinks Cutcliffe’s job should be on the line. Why does the negativity not surprise me?

Carey is a freshman and Javin has proven that he can’t go a few minutes without fouling. Not sure why you’d be optimistic about the big man situation.

Jalen Johnson and Mark Williams
