  1. I wouldn't say good win. It's a win against possibly the worst Duke team ever lol😁😂😂Lively is utterly worthless!! Worse prospect I've seen. Injured or not but good lord

  2. One thing about the sport of basketball is that athleticism is great, but you must have skilled, smart players as well. I’m not saying Duke players aren’t those things at all….they will get better for sure, but the top ranked recruiting class doesn’t always fair well. Basketball players have to be coached up and developed no matter how great they look on paper. And they have to be consistent. Consistency was a problem for Kentucky last year and has been with many of their top recruiting classes.

  3. This is what's possible when Terq's not taking a bunch of trash shots. You could see in the video Terq getting his feet and shoulders set and shooting in rhythm. He needs to do more of that and he'll have less of those 25% FG games.

  4. We've now in ACC play, time to put up or shut up Duke! Everything I said in the beginning was true. Lively is too lite in the azz and he has zero low post moves, you would think they would work on his moves like they did with the Plumlee's. Whitehead needs too step up, and Schutt and Graves needs to play.

    John Shyer is an average coach who got chosen over other more deserving candidates like Capel, Johnny Dawkins, etc… I think yall know where I'm going with this.

  5. I never see my team get beat this Bad I know all my Loyal Duke fans was highly upset . I bout pulled all my dreadlocks out 🤬🥶😂

  6. I am so sick of this happening to Duke every time they play in Raleigh. They turn into the 2016 Warriors every time Duke comes to town. Duke's effort this time was trash, but this is an annual thing. And then State goes right back to mediocrity the second they no longer see "Duke" on the jersey. Seriously, I think Duke has at least 5 times as many blowout losses at NC State over the last 15 years as at any other venue.
