Title: Someone needs to beat Duke. I didn't think they were that good just because the Post by: volsboy on March 28, 2025, 10:24:23 EDT ACC was weak this season. I was wrong. They are pretty good. Bama killed it too. Seems like our A game does not look as good some other teams A game. But, luckily it doesn't take your A game to win some. Our defense is better than most of these teams. If is UK is on, we will have a struggle. They've "been on" the first two meetings.

In other words, they hit a lot of lucky shots. I don't call that being "on", I call it luck. Just MO, but I think the game yesterday gave me some verification. Same half assed shots, but this time only a few went in.

Same half assed shots, but this time only a few went in. They weren't all lucky- a lot them were just wide open because we didn't fight through screens and got picked off. That didn't happen last night. We defended the perimeter at all costs, and as a result gave up some cheap paint points (but not nearly enough to beat us). Title: Re: Someone needs to beat Duke.

I'm sure our D was more focussed, but they hit 3 or 4 threes in the 2nd half of that game with a Vol in their face, or off their back foot falling down, or both, whatever. Better D yesterday for sure, but in a discussion about the home game below I did rant about how lucky their shots were. :naughty: :powert: Title: Re: Someone needs to beat Duke.

In the SW16 game we ran them off the 3 point line all game long and accepted the Williams drive and 2 point shot, which gve how much Felix and Cade leaned on him, flat wore him out |
