Agreed.  Love the road ACC win.  Hughes, Battle and Brissett all stepped up huge.  Chukwu has become painful to watch though.  Might as well get Braswell some minutes, IMO.  Sidibe looked much better than Chukwu.

Good road ACC win!

 

Braswell is a skinny kid like Dolezaj , not sure if he can hold to the 5 for long amounts

 

Hopefully Sidibe can keep it up

Good win.  Frank Howard finally has a decent game.  The outcome of this season will weigh heavily on the performance of FH.  Looks like JB is really displeased with Chukwu, and rightfully so.  Dolezaj and Sidibe filled in fairly admirably tonight.  I’d honestly like to see a little more Jalen Carey with Battle, Brissett/Hughes, Dolezaj, and Sidibe.

 

This can be a very solid team, folks.

Rogers in Toronto, kind of an extra just to get the WNLO with  ACC football and hoops games not covered otherwise.

 

 

 

Do they have directv in Canada?

 

Also, I wonder if you could use the WatchESPN app on a fire stick?

The cable package gives me almost every NHL/NBA/MLB game plus 30 NCAA basketball and many college football games a week, in addition to all the games on “regular” sports channels, plus a lot of other stuff. Used to give me every NFL game until that internet streaming site snaked it.

 

no complaints aside from losing the NFL, the least watched of the four sports 

 

and WNLO in analogue and the Big Ten Network gives me more than I need

 

i try to avoid using the internet at home, I want to relax?

Got all three things tonight we need to be a tourney team.  

 

1.  A contribution from Frank Howard.  He was HUGE in the 2nd half.  Scored, I believe, 8 or 9 in a row, played awesome defense, and ran the offense.

 

2.  CHUKWU!!   He didn’t play great, but had a few great moments.  I believe 17 boards?!  Those free throws in OT?  Wow.

 

3. Perimeter shooting.  Enough said.

 

In the words of Clark W. Griswold....”If I woke up tomorrow with my face sewn to the carpet, I wouldn’t be more surprised than I am right now.”

I was worried at the start and was confident we could win at half time and was sure of it in ot, what a roller coaster!!

 

Duke even had their home cooking with the refs lol

 

I hope we push the pace like we did tonight for the rest of the year

 

I actually thought the refs weren't too bad.  Couple phantom calls and a couple of make up calls but I thought it was a pretty fairly called game

The over the back non call near the end, the foul the gave Williamson the free throws was awful, the carry that wasn’t called, those were what stuck out in my mind the most. 

 

Edit: oh and that charge on battle

 

All were pretty obvious imo

Duke was without two key starters

Will that will drop Duke all the way down to #2.

 

Probably.  But the Injury to Tre Jones is really going to hurt this Duke team for a while.  Sprained shoulder.  He’s done for a while.  They’re not the same team without him.  Will be interesting to see how they respond vs UVA.

Yeah, but they still had Barrett and Williamson on the court, the consensus #1 and #2 overall picks in the next draft.  Plus how many 5* players?  The Cuse currently has none.  Even Battle was a 4* guy.  

 

Duke should still have beaten Cuse handily tonight at home.  Syracuse just played an exceptional game.

Yeah and? This cuse team just lost to Georgia tech at home. I don’t care who they lost, the replacements for them are still better than anything Georgia tech had plus they still had two lottery picks playing and it’s not like they played terrible either.

To be fair Battle lost his 5* ranking at the end of his SR year lol he was 2 spots out at the end iirc

 

big hand to Battle who played like a guy who came back for a reason. He was a beast today... he has always had a tremendous pull up jumper

 

round of applause for our Slovakian friend Marek who took a charge from Zion and get knocked out pretty much ?

That took either balls or stupidity not sure which lol

 

Zion is an animal, no one that big should be able to do what he does, and how is he only 18? Dudes face is 18 but that body is an nba big man vet
