What are the Dukies saying?

Not sure if anyone will agree with me but I thought Scheyer made a mistake by not setting up Flagg at the end and preferring to let him create his own shot. Yeah, he is a great player but he is also only 17. That is a LOT of pressure.
Well, he had done everything up to that point pretty well... even hitting a 3, so it was prolly an easy decision to let him go create...

#1 projected NBA pick...

If he had tried something else that didn't work, ... say... Flagg got double-teamed and never saw the ball, and Duke lost, he would have been questioned about not letting him handle the rock, last play...

I have a good friend who is a Duke fan. He has been very loud and proud the last few years. Last night I had to actually text him and make sure he was okay since he was being so quiet.
 
I don’t know where to find their free content. I was just curious what they said about the game and thoughts about Pope in general.
One of the things they're saying on their free message board..... Duke Hoops Open Forum..... Is that if Calipari was still coaching UK that he would have found a way to lose the game by double digits. And that Pope is an upgrade over Calipari.

My son sent me some screen caps of one of their boards. The consensus seemed to be that Sheyer got out coached and didn't use his bench.
 
On the rivals board some of them are saying K went to iso ball his last 7 years and Sheyer is simply continuing that. They compare themselves to UK under Cal in that they don't run any plays. Just give someone the ball and clear out. Saying they got outcoached and that if Cal was still here they would have won easily. The most amazing thing to me was their game discussion was only 6 or 7 pages compared to 55 here.
