Listening to game on Duke radio. These announcers are such homers (unlike all of us).

Jackson needs to be more aggressive. And use a jump stop. He can really get up and is powerful for his size. Draw some contact.

Tired of hearing about Okafor. Rewind the play if you can. Colson did not block that shot, it was just a terrible shot by Okafor.

Someone explain to me what Grant lacks to be a NBA PG

The only thing going against him is his age. Only 5 Seniors were drafted in the first round last year, and 3 of them were after pick 24. But if a Senior gets drafted this year, you gotta think it'll be him.

He blocked it.

The Irish are GROWN MENtally. So nice to see young adults playing college ball instead of a bunch of spoiled 18 year olds in Lexington.

And Jackson is feeling it right now.

We are better conditioned than them. They have dead legs on jump shots and we are beating them to every loose ball now.

Me too. I am in the vast majority. I don't think he's that good... as far as an NBA prospect goes.

Tie game baby!

.

IDK what his NBA prospects are, but he's a stud in college IMO. He needs to be less hesitant. They're better when he's aggressive. Very strong and can over power guards in college, great defender, huge hops and a pretty J.

You guys are crazy, we have no answer for Okafor. He is a monster, both with unmatched physical ability and showing some sweet post moves to get to the net.

I was talking about Okafor. Grant has the most NBA ready game in college IMO.

He needs some work to be a true NBA PG but he is a 6-5 Kemba Walker. He takes it right at Okafor every time and scores. Love his game. He may be a real difference maker at the next level.

Going down to the wire. Need to deny Okafor and we win.

Horse shit call. I hate Euro floppers but thats exactly what needs to be done against Okafor. The only thing that stops him from committing an offensive foul on every entry is the ND guy isn't holding his ground... then flopping.

If Jackson slams on this possession I'm getting a tattoo of Lou on my buttcheek.

He's 7 ft and he only has 25 points being guarded by a 6-5 guy now. He really isn't all that.
