This team blows period! They should have been up at least 15 at Half and then they completely fall apart... I'm sorry but they deserve to be OUT of the Top 25

I agree. They should have been up by 15 at half, but squandered that lead. Then when up 68-59 just started their same old turnover garbage while jacking bad shots and missing free throws. This team is awful.

You knew State had the momentum going into half when they were only down 6

Smith killed Duke. He controlled the game with tempo and Duke has no PG answer.

also - no help defense, give up too many easy buckets and get ice cold at the 3 point line and the FT line

They don't play as a team and they lose. When they play as a team they can win.

Coach K needs to be back (no pun intended)

Yes, he would make the difference. Those Tatum TO's and Allen jacking up threes would stop.

Allen just needs to man up and stop acting like a spoiled child! Dude needs a reality check and currently he isn't getting it. Tatum also needs a dose of Humble Pie. I love Capel but right now he's not cutting it either

I'm glad we are seeing Capel's attempt at coaching this team now rather than sitting thru several seasons after K is gone.

True but if this is an indication... Oh boy

They both were not playing well at all

Duke has no "Go-To Guy" and nobody who can stop a Dennis Smith.

Giles is a bust. Tatum is too selfish. Allen's confidence is shattered. Kennard is Duke's best player and he doesn't start. Jackson isn't able to run the PG yet. Jones has zero consistency shooting. It goes on and on. Duke is just bad.

Things went downhill when Tatum came onto the court... Then it got totally F'd when Allen became an idiot
