February 27, 20188 yr Pathetic finish for the Blue Devils. Blew a 15 point lead and a 10 point lead. Maybe I am overreacting but when I look at this season and Duke’s failures I’ll remember 1.) Grayson’s disappearing acts 2.) Trevon Duval not being able to shoot or make free throws the way a PG should be able to do 3.) Duke going undefeated while Bagley has been out(this makes zero sense) and 4.) Duke switching to a predominately zone defense because they can’t play man to man defense. This season has been maddening, exciting, frustrating and encouraging. My biggest issue is Trevon Duval’s inconsistency and his inability to shoot. Drives me nuts. Everything else has seemed fixable except for that. Duke destroys UL. UL wins at Virginia Tech. Duke loses at Virginia Tech. College basketball is stupid. But I’m a moron because I say EVERYONE gets up for Duke.
February 27, 20188 yr As good as Duke is, they need Grayson to win every once in a while, and he’s often a no show. I feel like they aren’t taking advantage of Bagley either.
February 27, 20188 yr Author As good as Duke is, they need Grayson to win every once in a while, and he’s often a no show. I feel like they aren’t taking advantage of Bagley either. Grayson was fine tonight. 22 points. Ball should have been in his hands when Duval took the foul. These past couple of weeks and Bagley being out a little while helped Grayson get his mojo back. Bagley is averaging almost 20 and 10. Duval is the wild card at this point. Everything has been fine except when he is on the court at times because no one knows what to expect from him. If he could just figure it out......

February 27, 20188 yr Sometimes I feel like Allen is shaving points or something. Not really but he makes head scratching plays sometimes down the stretch.
February 27, 20188 yr I guess Duke will move into a #1 seed now. Jumped from 12th in the polls last week to 5th with a win @ Clemson. 1 point road loss to Va. Tech should be enough to move them into the top 4.
February 27, 20188 yr Author Wait ... is this a UK thread or a Duke thread? Are we going to get threads on whether Coach K should be let go ... :angrybird10: Nah. The BGP Duke fans are sensible. We can gripe without getting carried away. :lol2:

February 27, 20188 yr What did he do last night that was head scratching? Missed free throw and terrible turnover in the final minute. I think he had 6 turnovers. He plays like an All-American for 35 minutes but anything can happen in crunch time.

Everything else has seemed fixable except for that. This sounds a lot like like Kentucky's season. Everything except the point guard not being able to shoot. I could replace a few names and it would pretty much be spot on. Only UK is currently trending up. College basketball is stupid. But I’m a moron because I say EVERYONE gets up for Duke. Now you really sound like a Kentucky fan lol.
February 27, 20188 yr Grayson was fine tonight. 22 points. 6 of 18 with 6 turnovers -- he was horrific down the stretch for them tonight.
