Duke’s starting PG out with a foot injury

Really tough for him, for Duke and their fans. The team seemed poised to be a serious contender. I don't know what they have to replace him and whether this more or less ends their title hopes.

Would be nice now to get the #2 in the east, but if do well in the BET, that won't be posssible.

It doesn't end their hopes. He was the weakest of their starters and Cayden Boozer can take over but now they have a freshman point guard running the show and depth becomes an issue. They'll only have 1 point guard.

Tough for the individual but I will never feel sorry for Duke or their fans.
Similar to UM, PG play is Duke’s Achilles heel.

He's also one of the only upper classmen that got minutes for that team. They're going to have a severe lack of experience come tourney time.

2 seed?

They’re still a 1 even if they lose first round of the ACC tourney, just not the #1 overall.

I’m hoping that even if they win the ACC tourney that Zona would jump them as #1 overall if they win the Big12 tourney. That way we can potentially be the 2 in the East even if we’re #5 overall (strongest 2)

I don't like seeing a team's title chances derailed due to injuries.
 
Oh no. I’ll have a second beer tonight to honor his memory as the most pedestrian of Duke’s rotation players

I genuinely cannot believe there is a 5 inch difference in height between the Boozer twins. I have never seen such a discrepancy in height between twins.

Agree with those saying this is more of a depth issue for them than anything. However Foster does shoot over 40% from deep. This may hurt their spacing offensively, as Cayden Boozer shoots less than 30% from long range.

Boozer is the de facto point guard anyways

defense is the big impact here. little boozer is a big downgrade from foster, and ngbonga was a generally strong deterrent in the lane.

He was the 5th most impactful starter. Ngongba limited would hurt them much more.
 
I don't want anyone to get hurt. I wish harm on nobody, bad karma. Hope they get to play as close to full strength as possible
