"Tinkle" sounds like the name of a coach who really needs to go

[heyman25]

Many Duke fans will be challenged by Cory A’s “commentary.” Thanksgiving turkey.

That will be a definite drag. Cory it's all about Me Alexander. May have to tune into radio for sound.

Anyone remember the last time we played Oregon State - in 1963 - in the Final Four - in the consolation game?

Happy thanksgiving to all. Duke basketball on thanksgiving, awesome! I was a bit surprised to see Duke -21 over Oregon State in Portland today. Seems a bit high to me for some reason, but I like it!

Let’s Go Duke!

Thankful there is a game today!

Should be a challenge, with a 12 noon EST 3 pm PST start. Hope the team has adjusted to the early start.

To be clear, the game is at 12 noon PST (not EST), so it should "feel" like 3pm to them.
Still an early start but coming from east coast may make it feel not quite as early.

Sometimes when I am in the Duke bubble I lose track of the national conversation around our team. I picked my head up with all the PK85 previews and Flip is the conversation. I am curious to see if Flip continues to produce at the level he has.

[UrinalCake]

Wojo on the halftime show of the CHeats game as they're previewing our game... astutely points out that we have great depth but need to figure out what our closing lineup will be in a competitive game. Hopefully we won't learn that today, but it will be something to watch for the rest of the weekend.

Of course a terrible shooting team makes a bunch of 3s. Flip with his typical cold start. Lively is just not strong going for rebounds. At least Proctor made a 3 but we look a bit off.

[AGDukesky]

Dariq!!

[CameronDuke]

Great to see Dariq Whitehead hit two 3-pointers so far. He is a work in progress and still getting accustomed to college basketball. Those two shots he hit were very promising though! I am sure it is good for his confidence level too.

[arnie]

Obviously Oregon State must have an all-world defense😡.

[jipops]

2 really bad offensive teams going at it today

[heyman25]

This team needs major shooting drills. We are missing easy shots. Early start makes Duke look just ragged . Terrible first half for Duke. Cory Alexander lives up to his lousy color tradition. Too stagnant in our half court offense.

[gumbomoop]

Left the 3-bomber. Bummer. Dumb.

Speaking of which, the experienced Grandison committed 3 utterly foolish fouls.

CA is insufferable.

Filipowski vying for dumbest.
