  1. Best game all year, hope it carries over for the rest of the season. Might’ve been the zone that caused the good looks, but for the most part the devils handled the press and zone really well. This team is maturing, pretty dangerous if they close the season strong.

  2. Two step backs for the Orange. No defensive adjustments and no offensive flow. They looked terrible. Now back on the bubble for the NIT.

  3. I was at the Adam Sandler show at the spectrum center in Charlotte tonight and i didn't get to watch the 2nd half, did Duke cover the 1 point spread? 😁 Smoked um. Let's keep that going fellas. Big road win, Show all these fools Duke basketball ain't dropping off, they wish but they ain't that lucky. Let's Go Duke!!!

  4. Jon Scheyer finally got the rotations right. He’s been playing Grandison and Ryan young way too much. They are too big of liabilities on defense that the little offense they give don’t even matter. He played them in tiny spurts to give players a breather like he should’ve been doing all year

  5. This was great team win !!!!☆☆☆☆☆☆ GO DUKE 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🎳🎳🎳🎳🎳🎳🎳🎳

  6. Go Duke! As someone ironically from the disgusting decrepit shithole that is from Syracuse, New York I’m a diehard huge Duke fan. Rocking my Duke hat all day today! GO DUKE FUCK CUSE!!!

  7. Not to put a damper on everyone's enthusiasm about beating the Cuse, but as a Syracuse fan let me tell you SU basketball is middling at best. It's not like Duke beat a good team. This is probably Boeheim's 3rd worst team ever. It might be the second worst because I think the 81-82 would smoke this team. Plus Duke has six draft picks on the team and the 2nd best class next season. Duke played well, but there isn't one future pro on the Cuse and that includes Edwards and Mintz. Plus they shot over the outdated 2-3 zone which almost every team on the schedule has taken advantage of. Well any how good luck in the tourney and congrats on the win. Hopefully Wildhack will grow a pair and fire Jim next season. I doubt it. Go Cuse!!! 🏀🍊💪
