Sears has been so small. But he has time to great

 

[JCisthegoat]

I just don’t think you can shoot your way to a chip. They are one dimensional right now. Balance is needed. They have to figure out how to get a few stops and just get baskets at the other end not just settling for the first decent three. Duke is long and that means tough close outs.

That is also impacting Sears.

You have to do more than shoot. But if you can’t hit 3s you’re just not going to win a ship realistically

Rule change for the night. If you brick it so badly the ball is a wedgie they shouldn't go to alternate possession. Don't reward a horrible play.

UConn destroyed everyone last season and they shot horribly from three.

 

[JCisthegoat]

This partially reminds me of bama UConn last year. Everytime bama tries to cut close, Duke responds

They were 36.7 as team. That is far from
Horrible

35.8 actually I think. One of the espn pages seems glitched. Still puts them in the top 25 percent or so of teams.

Alabama just can’t get stops.

 

[Husk1esB2B]

How come bama never has a guy in the paint

It’s why Michigan state and Tennessee will eventually ultimately fail

 

[Scoe]

Attempting 30, 3s is ridiculous

 

[Scoe]

Auburn might be the only team that can beat Duke but need the Auburn team we have seen most of the season.

 

[JCisthegoat]

Watching sears makes me more thankful we have historically had guys with stones who come through in the big spot

 

[Scoe]

Even if Bama hit 20 plus 3s you feel Duke woukd just outscore them anyways

This board sounds like the Duke board from last year with Duke fans hoping like all hell that someone would defeat UConn and sounding resigned after UConn crushed Illinois.

Looks like Duke will be the program that got it right following up a legend with his immediate successor

He has been a net negative this game and he is selfishly forcing shots and trying to get his.

Tennessee can bang with this duke team. They abused them in the tournament a few years back.

Scheyer is just another calipari. Even calipari got one with some crazy good freshman

Rick Barnes though

 

[Husk1esB2B]

Congrats Duke for the 6th title. I'm getting out of this. Call me next year around march

Scheyer doesn't even have to recruit because duke has such a strong presence in the basketball academies.

UConn shot below 24% from three in the tournament last year.

Sears has five turnovers and can’t shoot.

I expected much better game.
