My thoughts
- Duke played young at the beginning and end of the game. Had a great burst to start the second half, but needed that all game.
- Very physical game, which bogged down our offense. Especially Carey and Tre.
- The book on Duke seems to be quick double on Carey and dare him to make the right read. On offense play five out and pick and pop with the 5. Let’s see how coach K adjusts.
- Bad game to have an off night from 3. We had 2 that were all the way down but rattled out, and Baker had a lot of good looks that he didn’t hit.
- The 3 at the end of the first half really hurt. I thought Jav made the right decision to trap but credit Louisville’s big for hitting the 3.
- I don’t think Duke was prepared for Johnson. We took Nwora out of the game but had no answer for Johnson in the first half. Better job after halftime though. Hope he is ok.
- if ESPN is going to force feed us 94 feet, can they at least give up 15 seconds of commercial vs split screen? Or do it in the first half instead of important game action?
- We haven’t won a game since Shane Ryan posted that ACC regular season championship thread. I’m blaming him
