2016 Men's ACC Tournament (3/8-3/12)

[Irish#1]

At least Laetner could back it up

Laettner was the most loved cbb player for taking down UK, but quickly became despised for beating everyone else's teams.

I honestly didn't even know who the heck Allen was until a month or so ago, and just learned the kid is white this week... sad but true, but I don't pay attention to cfb at all anymore if it doesn't directly involve ND...

Didn't he take down UK during the last week or so of his Duke career??

 

[woolybug25]

Do people even pay enough attention to cfb, or do star players stay long enough, for anyone to be hated or beloved to those kind of levels anymore??

People pay attention to college football (cfb) plenty...

College basketball (cbb) tho...

nice catch... see I watch cfb so little that I can't help but abbreviate it to the cfb...

Duke held on 92-89...hope they're tired for tomorrow...

ND vs. Duke tomorrow at 2:30

FYI I think this game is at 1pm Eastern. At least that's what ESPN's schedule says.

NCAAM Division I Schedule - NCAAM - ESPN

It starts 30 mins after the UNC/Pitt game ends. Roughly 2:30

 

[irishfan]

We are 2-point underdogs which seems reasonable.

I'm seeing the over/under at 153.5....that seems very low.

 

[NDGOLDEN]

Plumlee rocking the facemask

 

[irishfan]

ND up 16-15 with 11:28 left in the 1st. Good start overall. Somewhat of an ugly game offensively by both teams....I think we can wear them out though.

 

[gkIrish]

Why are we in a zone?

 

[Irish#1]

Duke playing zone to save some energy. Plumlee trying to draw a charge and keep his face away. Throws his mask. He's frustrated. lol

 

[koonja]

Duke, don't let Ryan shoot. ND, don't let Allen shoot.

You play help defense when you're off the ball guarding guys like this... the drive and difficulty of finish is much less risky.

 

[IrishLion]

I'll never understand how refs decide which way to go in block/charge situations like that.

Plumlee was moving and lowered his arms into Auguste's body, but Auguste delivered the forceful contact.

Either way, I thoroughly enjoy that the call went ND's way. Usually that's a call that the dookies get.

Now, ND just needs Grayson Allen to stop hitting from range.

 

[Circa]

They aren't allowing these guys to play at all.

Plumlee leaned into him first. Duke is shooting lights out from 3 land.

 

[koonja]

They are calling some soft shit on ND.

Why doesn't Ryan play more? Guy looked like he was about to go off then sits.

 

[irishfan]

Why when Farrell plays well last game do we keep him on the bench when giving DJ a breather?

He has 3 fouls.

 

[koonja]

He has 3 fouls.

Yikes, make that 4.

 

[NDgradstudent]

Remember when we didn't turn the ball over?

 

[Irish#1]

Need to stem the tide. Not looking good.

 

[IrishLion]

Seriously though... Auguste should've been constantly eating down low the entire time Plumlee was out.

Sloppy, bad offense for a team that needs to be efficient.

[IrishLion]

I know their defense has been bad all year, but my goodness is this ugly.

 

[irishfan]

I don't know why we didn't go full up-tempo and try and run them out of the gym. They have 0 depth.

 

[Irish#1]

Getting out-hustled and out-worked. So much for the "tired" theory.
