74-49 is the final. Great defensive game again!
Cracked up at the end as a Stanford benchwarmer got the ball unguarded right under the basket and was so confused she missed the layup74-49 is the final. Great defensive game again!
I know there have been many complaints about the band, dance team, and DJ being moved into section 17. Having attended my first game since the transition earlier this season, I understand why - you can't see one side of the court unless you stand up, and they are loud. But in terms of seeing the crowd on TV, and informally gaging the level of fan excitement compared to previous years, I like it.Shout out to the folks in Cameron today, the crowd on both levels looks great!
But we are somehow on the bubble according to Joey Brackets to host in the NCAAAs? That's top 16...Duke now #9 on Torvik and #8 in the NET. Second straight 100 game score on Torvik.
Right, Duke was #16 in both the AP and Coaches Polls this week, but should move up a few spots on Monday.But we are somehow on the bubble according to Joey Brackets to host in the NCAAAs? That's top 16...
So what was the big "Fan Experience" for the endzones? I see they're open, but I only see fans as I'd normally expect.I know there have been many complaints about the band, dance team, and DJ being moved into section 17.

Nothing, yet. I don’t see how anyone’s fan experience got better with the band move. When the students do come, is it better to have them all in 1 end zone, which is where they opt to sit, rather than on either side of the band? I don’t think so.So what was the big "Fan Experience" for the endzones? I see they're open, but I only see fans as I'd normally expect.

It appears that one of Lawson's strategies is to attack before the defense gets set, so we see a lot of forced fast breaks off defensive rebounds and even made baskets. Okananwa and Jackson really push the ball, sometimes without a numbers advantage. The success rate has been improving so the decision making and shot selection have improved.The vibe of this game was a little weird. Oftentimes frustrating (3pt shot selection!??). Good outcome though. Nice defensive win over a rebuilding team.
Also, Debbie antonelli was cracking me up with her call. She seemed to be taking personal offense that their big wasn't trying to score in the first half. I really liked her observation about Okanawa too: if she learns how to change speeds effectively on offense, it would take her game to a whole other level. I think that's spot on and I'm here for it! I love watching her play!
Duke will move up to at least #14. I'm mentally preparing myself for a 1-loss Ohio State team to stay ahead of a 4-loss Duke team, even though the voters know Ohio State is largely untested, and that's still the case -- they lost to a Penn State team that was 9-9 and 0-7 in the Big Ten. The Buckeyes should fall 10 spots for that, minimum, but I'm predicting I'll be a little disappointed.
Nice to see us move up two, though, unlike most everyone else with a one notch climb. (Aside from WVU's 4 spot jump)Yep. In Week 12 of the AP Poll, Ohio State fell only 3 places to #12.
