We're intimidated. That's the bottom line. Duke ain't missing many shots either.

If we can keep it close for a half our depth could come into play late.


Pretty sure Duke doesn't have scrubs on their bench.

This feels like the UConn Final 4 game last year. We probably have one good run left to get it close but possession for possession we can’t match up. Duke is far better defensively than we are.

Duke is committed to shutting down Sears and now he is playing dumb basketball and forcing drives that aren’t there. Story of his season.


This is just Oat’s offense: living, and currently, dying by the three.

Duke is the best team in the country, and it’s not close.

Nah, Duke’s perimeter defense is borderline NBA tier. 3 6’6”+ guards plus Flagg who can switch on most perimeter players. Same reason they’ll torch Florida if they meet, Florida’s top 3 scorers are guards under 6’4. They’ll get shut down by Duke

Sears has no confidence. He’s done.

That hasn’t been the case this season. It’s a big part of the Bama offense, but Bama has won games without being good from 3.

I see what you’re saying, but the three is what Bama lives and dies from. We saw that in the BYU game. Now, they play a good defense against the three, and they are struggling.

Duke is really good at basketball, obviously. We've played extremely poor and we are only down eight. That's not so bad. We need to go on a little run before half.

They're 32nd in the country. Tennessee, Auburn, Florida, and Alabama are all statistically better.
