FYI: Duke vs Zags.. number 1 and 3 about to start 5pm on ESPN.. 11/21

This is a great game. Too bad TV Teddy Valentine is a ref on this game. The talent level on both teams is very impressive.
 
Duke facing a true challenge of experience right now.

And the freshmen are shook.
 
And exactly 24 hours later on the exact same court, the Rutgers women’s team will tip-off in the same tournament! Top talent on that side too, including Notre Dame and I think standford

Duke doing their best to fight back but they’re just losing the battle defensively.

Women are in Vancouver. Gonzaga / Duke is being played in Maui.

Zags beat Duke by 2, 89-87.

Duke had the ball with less than a minute to go. Blocked shot that goes OB. Blocked shot that goes OB. Blocked shot. Zag player gets fouled. Misses both FT. Duke comes down misses the shot. Zag player gets fouled but misses both FT again. Duke comes down but gets 4th shot in the final minute blocked as time runs out.

Zag player (Hachimura) that blocked 3 of the shots also missed all 4 FT.

Very good post. But Hachimura didn't miss all 4 FT's. Clark(e) missed the first two. The Zags are really good and they played this tournament without their best shooter, Killian Tillie. And Duke? Williamson is a stud. And the Fab Freshmen are going to be outstanding as they learn and grow throughout the season. I could easily see these two in the Final Four and the NCAA tourney.
 
I am just glad that the Dukies lost.
I like how Jay Williams who actually played in the association claimed earlier today that Duke could beat the Cleveland Cavaliers.

This kind of nonsense is said every couple of years about some team. The truth is the Cavs would win by 50 and a G league team would probably wipe the floor with Duke. Sure they have 2 guys who will probably make good pros or even exceptional pros, but the gap in experience of pros and depth of a pro roster is overwhelming.

The Dream Team lost to a team of college All-Stars (Webber, Grant Hill, Bobby Hurley). Probably more accurate to say the NBA team would win 19 of 20 games. Duke could win 1 or 2.
 
Great game. Coach Few needs to have a free throw drill.
 
I wish in my wildest dreams that Rutgers could recruit one player that started for Duke.The one and done players at elite schools just shows that talent is far more important than experience at successful power conference basketball programs.
