DWBB 2021-22 Season

[jimsumner]

Duke live-ball turnovers leading to UNC baskets. Not a recipe for a win. 26-18 UNC, Duke timeout.

[jimsumner]

Balogun and Day-Wilson still on bench coming out of timeout. Time for Gordon and Goodchild to steady the ship and make some threes.

[jimsumner]

Duke essentially falling apart. Murphy's Law. If it can go wrong, it's going wrong. 37-20 UNC

[Stray Gator]

UNC up 39-20, outscoring Duke 20-2 in the second quarter. Duke with 10 turnovers to UNC's 2. UNC with 5 steals to Duke's 1. This is no game at all.

[jimsumner]

Kelly sitting with two fouls. Duke has to eat into the deficit. 39-25

The idea that this coaching staff has that you can't play a player with 2 fouls (although SDW is finally in) in the first half is just so stupid and keeps screwing this team, as it did vs VT the first time as well. You gotta trust your players and the lack of that trust is just brutal as the team repeatedly goes down double digit points in these games.

Don’t see a comeback unless the Heels completely fall apart

[heyman25]

Very bad performance first half can't shoot can't defend . Goodchild had a miserable first half. 33 to 7 run is just bad basketball.

[DoubleBlue]

Really discouraging. The wheels have fallen off.

The foul calls got in their heads. Will take an amazing half to get back in it

Great student crowd. Just not what was hoped for.

Yep. Saving them for what? Duke is down 47-26 at the half. But at least no one has three fouls.

It really is questionable when looking at Balogun. She's a senior for crying out loud. Trust her.

As an aside, this is the same Carolina team that scored 38 points against Georgia Tech, 45 against NC State. People have been able to stop them.

As an aside, 2, Kennedy Todd-Williams came into the game averaging 9.2 ppg and she is shredding Duke's defense. 12 points.

As an aside, 3. Louisville next. On the road.

[heyman25]

UNC is executing making plays shots and Duke is not doing much of anything to stop the scoring drought.I was hoping Duke might respond to the substitute Head coach Gandy. Hope it does not get any worse. This could be an epic blow out.

Maybe the coach on the floor did not make the right adjustments. He let the wheels fall off.

[dudog84]

Outscored 28-8 by uNC. I believe 8 turnovers. Worst quarter in the history of DWBB?

We'll see what they're made of in the next 20 minutes. Do they fight or lay down?

Well it is up there- as it is against your rival

[dudog84]

Winston Gandy running the show. Lawson in health and safety protocols

Serious question: I know very little about him, but why is Gandy running the show? He has by far, very far, the least experience of any of the assistants. I mean, the other two have decades in WBB and have had stints as head coaches.

Coaching ain't the issue in that half.

Coaching ain't the issue in that half.

What was?

[jimsumner]

Carolina calls time-out after scoring only two points in almost four minutes. Unfortunately Duke only scored four in that span and still trails by 19.
