This is just not a very good basketball team if you dare to be physical. Can’t see how this team does really anything if they don’t get better production on the glass this season.

Are you basing the weakness on the glass on this game only?

We’re going to get absolutely pounded by Louisville.

Yeah. Maybe we can forfeit the game since we have no chance.

SCHADENFRUEDE. Not so funny now. UNC took them to OT.

Disagree. Still hilarious. Where's that meme about unc not having a win this decade?

Well it was @UNC which usually counts for 6 pts.

We deserve to lose.
I wish they would just put us out of our misery, at this point.

When your team misses at least a half-dozen easy layups, bricks half of their free throws, and repeatedly gives up open shots, there's no justification for complaining about losing on the road to a conference opponent. Based on the problems we saw with the performance of several players tonight, I'd say this loss is the least of Duke's worries.

Did not deserve a win. Tried to come back but noone really made plays. One of Carey's worst games. We lose Baker and the team did not step up.Clemson was much better than Duke tonight. Duke looked pedestrian in their performance.Very disappointed, but that's college basketball.We cheered the Clemson students up after the loss in the Football Championship.

They probably think the same. Clemson ran layup drills in the first half. Duke missed about 10 shots two feet from the basket. Ugly final 5 minutes. Uggh first game not on the ACCN in a while a Duke craps the bed.

Duke has had issues all season but have overachieved. They are a young team- still learning. A bad game- it happens. Happened last year as well. Hopefully they will regroup and improve next game.

if we had played in the first like we did in the second, it might have been different. we played like we were guaranteed to win in the first half
