And more turnovers.

Wheels are off

We don't appear to be mentally prepared for this game. Fortunately, it's just the 1st half

[ChrisP]

I know UL is playing good D but...jeez we are VERY careless with the ball tonight. Lots of just lame passes.

I hope Joey didn't just get himself tossed

They are not prepared for the pack line - it is a hard D for many teams and particularly the first time seeing it.

I am not sure what you hope to accomplish by pushing someone in the chest in front of the officials.

So what’s the rule related to if you are on the floor and someone is standing over you, about a right to get up, or having to stay put to not endanger another player?

He missed though haha the other guy was backing away.

Two wheels back on-

Here’s hoping we’ve taken Louisville’s best shot, and its now our time.

Thank God for bad refs. This could've gotten ugly had we not been bailed out with some horrible calls. Sometimes, blue blood privilege is real.

Lost 1 wheel again. Two missed free throws and a dunk blocked

[fuse]

Wow- to my eyes that was a clear foul when Stanley was dunking.

Duke is 8-12 (66.7%) from the line. Louisville is 0-0 (0.0%).

How is Tre such a bad FT shooter? I know he works really hard on the defensive end but..jeez those last two were brick city!

I know we're only halfway through the season and he's a really good player but I don't think his draft stock has moved at all.

Tre has a lot of work to do to be a NBA level shooter. He is also struggling with Johnson - an NBA quality guard

[fuse]

Had hoped we’d be within 5 at half.

C’mon Duke, let’s go!

[ChrisP]

WTH was that defensive at end of half? Giving up a wide open 3???

[WakeDevil]

A proper way to end the half.
