Survive and advance. Emphasis on "survive" this time.

Let's go trainers!

It's officially survive and advance season, everybody! Take a breath.

All that matters from this one is health. Maliq's situation is concerning. But one has to think if there were long term concerns about Cooper he wouldn't be back on the bench without something on his ankle, be it a boot or a mountain of ice.

Proud of this team. Hope Cooper is ok.

 

[Dukehk]

Dammit he's limping

Wrap him up in cotton wool until the NCAA tourney.

Disastrous win.

Praying for a miracle to get Brown back and Cooper fully ready for the big dance. Assuming Cooper won't come back in the ACCT, so let's get him in good shape for next week.

Glad I couldn't watch. Kon and is the man. Onward!

 

[TampaDukie]

Great way to come back from a shorthanded team. On to the next!

Nice to see Cooper able to put weight on his ankle. But even if he could play (and that's obviously a big "if"), I'm fine with sitting him for the rest of the weekend.

did not expect the "Nothing Easy" shirts to be so literal. survive and advance, baby. vibes for Coop and Maliq

Coop walking with a little hitch in his giddy up. Really glad to see him walking on his own.

It is time to cheer on the Orthopedists to work their magic.

 

[proelitedota]

I still don't agree we had to play the starters much at all this game. Win or lose.

 

[DukieInKansas]

Glad I stayed home to work so I could take a break and watch this game live. Would not have enjoyed watching it recorded.

 

[rifraf]

Survive and advance! I agree with Corey Alexander (huh?!) that Coop should sit until the NCAAs unless he is at literally 100%. Kon will be top of the scouting report and we'll see how he responds. He played incredibly strong today (figuratively and literally). MOTM for me.

Yeah I was wondering if he is headed to Duke hospital this afternoon.

 

[godins]

Tough game, but we made it. Immense relief to see Coop walking on his own power at the end.

If both teams shoot their averages for the season, Duke wins by 29 points (Duke makes four more 3s, GT makes 3 fewer). This team just finds a way.

 

[J4Kop99]

And they still won! This team is as tough as nails

 

[CameronBlue]

We need foster engaged. He had a good couple of games then he comes in and let his attention drift again and throws that lazy pass. Didn’t play after that point.

 

[Kfanarmy]

missed the game. What happened? Didn't think this one would have much impact...

I absolutely disagree. You always play your best.
