MBB: Duke vs. Stanford (Saturday 2/15, 4pm ET, ABC/ESPN+) Pregame and In-Game Thread

[hsheffield]

This game worries me. More so than did Clemson, which is weird. Their big guy is a load, however you say that in French

leur grand gars est une charge

I'll probably be very wrong but I'm not worried about this game. Their star player couldn't gain playing time behind Proctor and Foster while at Duke and I think he gets a lesson about why today. And their French guy will have to deal with Manuch, Brown and Ngongba. I'm sure both will get some points but so long as nobody else bootsies Duke I think it will be all good.

I like the cut of your jib. I am not ready to declare the Frenchman as Superman.

First Half Proctor could be POY.

 

[Edouble]

If Proctor keeps this up for another six weeks, we’ll be a tough out.

 

[Music man55]

Proctor having another monster game. Keep it up Tyrese!

 

[FosterCoachK82]

And Blakes has been terrible.

 

[Edouble]

Foster DNP first half.

Would love to hear from anyone at Cameron or listening to the radio broadcast; any mention of how the Crazies welcomed Blakes? I would imagine some love before the game.

Cassell a wanker today, per usual.

 

[Music man55]

I wonder if Foster is under the weather or just has digressed that much. I hope he get’s his confidence back sometime!

Foster DNP first half.

Looks to be all but out of the rotation at this point.

His foot speed and decision making lag too much for a quick playing style. He slows everything down and disrupts the flow. He’s good at isolation sets and rebounding, but not great at fitting into a dynamic system or guarding the perimeter.
