MBB: Duke v Michigan St (Tue, 12/3, 9:30pm, ESPN) Pre-Game and In-Game Thread

[Jeffrey]

Can we get Carey active tonight? He seems to disappear at times.

I doubt he will disappear, if we put the ball in his hands. Tre has had two relatively bad games (mild injury?). Hopefully, Tre is 100% tonight, has a great A/TO, and plays very solid D.

HAH, I asked the very same question in FB about Syracuse's defense and Duke's offense...

Hope the results are more favorable for us tonight!

Vitale is chatting away during the mi-looville game and Eades is wearing out his whistle in bc.

So, we'll likely get Roger the ref, nope, correction: there he is over in Ann Arbor. So Bilas for us some other ref I'll be fuming at soon.

Ehhhh, looville looks very very good. Yikes good actually.

Twitter sez Tre, Moore, Jack, Hurt and Carey are our starters.

Unfortunate pass from AOC. He should have just shot the ball.

It's becoming the same routine every game:

-O'Connell comes off the bench, plays about 3-5 minutes
-O'Connell is just atrocious on both offense and defense
-Baker comes in for O'Connell
-O'Connell sits the rest of the game

Team is just incredibly raw as is stands. Talent is there but roles haven’t been defined (Carey Jr. and Tre being the exceptions). Likely won’t see a refined product until March (if ever). Will be a season long roller coaster. Let’s go
Duke!

[Steven43]

Joey Baker, nice shot. I like this kid.

[kAzE]

Javin is playing excellent this game. He's just playing freely, instead of overthinking it. You love to see that.

[scottdude8]

Tillman foul trouble is huge. Great game plan to force that early. I wonder if anyone called that on the board here...

[SavDukeGrad]

Javin’s best game so far this year. Nice to see.

[rsvman]

Still can't believe that banked three from the corner for Michigan State.

Looking pretty good so far, though. Creating turnovers again, which is good to see.

[arnie]

Javin’s best game this year. Been great on D and converted both fantastic passes from Tre.

OTOH, O’Connell has been O’Connell.

[scottdude8]

Go away Draymond. There’s a game on. Geezus ESPN.

[devildeac]

Tillman foul trouble is huge. Great game plan to force that early. I wonder if anyone called that on the board here...

Yea, but what's your call on when/if he finally gets his 5th PF?

[AtlBluRew]

Enough of the Draymond interview!

[scottdude8]

Also that was a great outback by Javin, but should’ve been Tillman’s third on Tre’s initial shot. I would’ve rather had that haha

[hallcity]

Enough of the Draymond interview!

That ought to be illegal. By all means interview the guy but not on split screen with the game going on!

[scottdude8]

Only Tom Izzo could be winning the fouls by DOUBLE and still complain this much. And be never gets a T. Never.
