We haven’t been taking many threes, and are 2-4 so far. We are shooting 59% overall, so it hasn’t been terrible shooting-wise, except that those numbers include a bunch of breakaway layups. Kara has been exhorting the team to play even faster than they are, though. Oh, and we’ve been terrible at the line, where we are a sad 4-9.
The defense has been pretty good, but the level of competition is not very good. There are still things to work on, for sure. Everybody is working hard though. It will come.
If you care about exhibition score, it is 42-25 at the half.
I think it will come. Most of the bricking has come from folks who are playing their first game in this building. They’ll get used to it.
Nice catch, Jim!
61-29 after three. Duke shooting 50%.

Looks like Bollin is subbing in with 5:41 to play. Koabel and the walk-ons, not yet, but they should form a band.
Koabel and Lewis in at a timeout with 3:35 left. I think that’s all the scholarship players.
Nevertheless, I will relay that the final score was 90-36.
Lots of good takeaways from this game, the first and foremost of which is that the team is going to be fun to watch. They play fast on both sides of the ball, and while lots of coaches talk about wanting to play fast, Kara seems very focused on it. We still don't have the elite-level horses it is going to take to win an ACC title or anything, but I think we are going to give some very good teams some major fits this year.
The season starts in less than forty-eight hours, and just like this team after they get a steal, I can't wait.
They will wear teams down with their D. The half court O is a work in progress. There was little flow. Maybe nerves - maybe this is a mediocre shooting team from midrange and deep. Taylor remains the best player. None of the new folks stood out. Brown was good early but fizzled late. I thought de Jesus played very well and settled the team down. No idea what to expect. Should be interesting
The question that has to be asked:
How many turnovers?
14 turnovers. Here's the box score.
1 assist for IUP. 21 for Duke. Is that good?
