Duke-ND thread

[sarals24]

Anyone watching? Liston and Peters looking food for Duke, McBride looking good for ND. 22-19 with 9:02 to go in the first half.

Good to have a thread - fun game so far. Pretty good pace up and down.

ND getting hot from 3, now up 35-23

I'm sorry but I am so sick of watching games where ND benefits from the lack of fouls called on them with their aggressive play and the ticky tacky fouls by Duke being called on them. Got that out of my system....

However, ND is outplaying Duke and making some tremendous shots. You can see the difference in coaching. Both teams have AA players and ND is so much better on both ends of the floor.

ND picking Duke's defense apart. Looks like there's UConn, ND, and then everyone else.

The question is can Duke play a full 40 minutes on offense and defense.

So far, it looks like Duke can't defend ND from beyond the arc.

I don't agree - plenty of uncalled contact going against ND this half as well. YMMV

Agree completely on the coaching

McBride shooting with incredible confidence today

 

[Kevin G]

Wow! McBride is on fire!

Ariel Braker reminds me of Devereaux Peters (spelling?) in the sense that she is always in foul trouble.

 

[sarals24]

And she complains a lot.

I am impressed with ND. I would love to see a UConn-ND championship game, with both teams undefeated.

Wish I could see this game. Is the crowd into it?

When doesn't she shoot with confidence?

I think you will!

They were at the beginning, but ND was up by 14 at one point. Very similar to the Duke-UConn game.

Sounds like a good crowd to me - ND doing a lot to quiet them, however.

N.D. is just so much tougher, mentally and physically. Duke has missed so many easy shots . Granted their is some contact, but again that is toughness. And how many open shots are Duke going to allow Irish ? I know it's only halftime, but is their any doubt Irish are Huskies only threat ? The song remains the same !

 

[Sonny44]

's a joke. When's the rest of the world going to catch on?

 

[Kevin G]

Has anyone seen E Williams or A Jones??!?? Totally disappointed in these two players.

C'MON DUKE!!

 

[ThisJustIn]

Would be nice to have Gray on the court. Hard to assess w/out Duke's best player in the lineup .

 

[jsloanjr]

Duke, this is what a WCBB elite team plays and looks like in the 1st half.........Can ND play 20 more minutes or will Duke try to come back? BTW, Did Coach P forget to wash her hair today? This comment was from my wife...Its a women thing.....

 

[Vowelguy]

Every time duke has a chance, they miss a layup.

 

[VAMike23]

MAJOR FLOP by Liston.


Smart play, but I still hate it.

 

[John Glass]

did the wind knock over Liston ? it wasn't McBride

 

[Vowelguy]

MAJOR FLOP by Liston.


Smart, but I still hate it.

I thought so at first too, but then why did Mcbride fall to the floor?
