Game Thread: Duke @ UNC

Coach K using the full court pressure has absolutely taken uNC out of the game.

there is no way 51% is the 2nd worst free throw percentage in the ncaa

I can think of plenty worse than that

For example Marquette starting fucking PG

Jones and Cook with 44 points AGAIN!

i dont know what it takes to qualify but I looked at a couple teams and Brandon dawson is shooting 47% from ft line and DeMarco cox is 48%. both are starters and have played 27+ games.

Travis for Penn State shoots only 1.5 per game but he's at 25% lol. Pretty sure it was like 17% a couple weeks ago.

I use to have a class in the gym at eastern Illinois. we would sit in the bleachers before class and watch their practice. they had this 7ft kid from somewhere in Africa and he would always be practicing free throws with a coach. it was comedy gold. he was missing everything on a regular basis. im talking about shots missing the backboard. his senior yr he shot 70%. crazy

If it's a game with 5-7 minutes remaining.

I don't see Duke losing. They have about as perfect a 5 man lineup as you can have to close out a game.

They still have flaws though. I just think if it's close late, they will always pull it out.

I wouldn't say always, but they will most definitely pull it out more often than not. They have by far the best starting 5 in the nation.

I don't know though. coach k plays that defense where he willing to give up layups. he just wants his kids to guard the 3 pt line and not foul. it is playing with fire but it has been successful (it just makes games closer than they should be imo)

Great game to watch as both teams played a good game.; just one bad stretch by NC made the difference. Really think Duke will win the ACC tournament and be making a deep run in the NCAA.

And how many teams can put together a 5-25 stretch on offense and still come out with 84 points in a 68 possession game?
