Duke MBB vs. Virginia Pre-Game and In-Game Thread

[pete]

For us to win this game we need:

Greg- To continue to play like the veteran he is and get everybody involved. He should continue to start until Nolan proves otherwise.

Demarcus - To keep doing what he's been doing all year being a leader by either attacking the basket and scoring, kicking out to our sharpshooters except Gerald 30% 3ptr's, or dishing underneath to Kyle for an easy two, and finally make his free throws.

Jon - To take more shots and create contact so he can get to the line. Jon continues to get everybody involved and is a true team player.

Gerald - To dish to his teamates on let's say a 3 on 2 if he doesn't have a shot. On numerous occasions Jon, Demarcus, Greg, Kyle, etc. have been open while Gerald is doing his best Kobe Bryant Whirlybird impression. Some go in quite a few lately have not been. Pass! Pass! Pass! and much like Demarcus make your free throws! Gerald is scary good just needs to dish it sometimes

Kyle- To avoid unecessary fouls and play within the offense. Sometime soon Kyle will have a breakout game and score 30. GO DUKE!

Adam Kilgore wrote a fairly interesting piece on Singletary in the Washington Post today.

Adam Kilgore's twin brother is actually a Duke grad, Class of '06 as well. Adam went to Syracuse.

ESPN.com's "Preview" of tonight's game says that Zoubek is out with a broken foot; I had read on here a few days ago that it was simply "re-injured." Does anyone have any additional info on the extent of his injury and expected return?

half-time:

coming out, we need to bring that intensity and daggers!

also, jon scheyer needs to keep shooting that long-range jumper. he's a great shooter and we desperately need his leadership in scoring points on offense, not just passing. he's passed up three wide open jumpers for passes this first half already, and i am 100% certain that K is going to 'chat' with him at the half about TAKING those wide-open looks.

LOOKING GOOD!

THROTTLE UP DUKE!
