MBB: Duke v. Lafayette (Fri, Nov 19, 8 pm, ACCN) Pre-Game and In-Game Thread

[rsvman]

Duke is now 33-101 (32.7%) from 3 as a team in the 2021-2022 season …

So, more shots for Joey and fewer for the other guys is the answer, then?

[AGDukesky]

Roach has been really bad on offense and Banchero has missed a ton of shots he usually makes. This game is just frustrating to watch.

[dukelifer]

Umm..or is it maybe - just MAYBE possible - K's guys are failing to execute the game plan properly?

The inside game was working and somehow they went away from that. 33% shooting is poor and Banchero is having another bad game after the incident.

[dukelifer]

Need to give Jones some of Bakers time. He seems to be the better shooter, and Joey is throwing up bricks.

I had such high expectations for Baker this season - not sure if it is going to happen

I say less 3s for everyone. Duke has the likely first overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft on their team and a serviceable 7 footer. Use them! Keels and Moore have great midrange games too. Quit settling for 3s if you can’t hit them consistently!

Roach picks up right where he left off losing the ball

[AGDukesky]

Sleepwalking now

[CameronDuke]

Go ahead and book it - Lafayette covers the 33.5 point spread tonight!

[CameronDuke]

First career double double for Big Mark.

10 and 11 currently.

Hope it’s not his last!

[AGDukesky]

Moore playing big!

[dukelifer]

Moore playing big!

That is what leaders are supposed to do when your team is struggling - nice to see

My post was sarcasm. I agree with you entirely.

Yes, 0 points 2 assists and shaky ball handling is not a very good game. Good thing Duke has a few other players (Moore, Williams) who are playing well tonight.

Yeah, this is absolutely on me. Sorry guys. I was almost afraid to come check the thread. 😅

That didn't age well...

Didn't mean to pile on...just the 22 points really stood out prediction wise.

[AGDukesky]

This is better

[YmoBeThere]

This is better

They are #314 according to Ken Pom. There are 44 teams worse than them.

Moore had become the steadying influence which is massive improvement. Hard to know which Roach will show and Keels will be erratic for a while.

Griffin is coming alive😀

[dukelifer]

Griffin does have a nice shot

[Music man55]

73-45 Duke now. This is Moore like it!
