one thing you wanna see vs Stony Brook and Hartford?


Mine: Two steps forward by Mamadou.

Agree, time for him to start to show some flashes and some progress. We need inside scoring, really have none right now outside of Freeman who has been inefficient.
 
thiam dribbling the ball more than once, mike williams making a couple 3's, duke with double digit points, and matt bullock touching the ball

I am not on the train yet that this is an NCAA team but if we are Mike Williams has to turn it around from three.

Yeah Duke seems to have lost the touch he had on his jumper earlier in the season - like to see him get it back.

And yeah, Mike needs to regain his 3-point shot. He had several WIDE OPEN looks against SHU and missed them all.
 
50%+ FG shooting. Not a prediction, but like the thread title says, what I want to see.
 
Want to see Duke and Thiam have good games on the offense side. Mike Williams shooting well from 3.
 
A lot more of Dadika, Downes, Smith, Nathon in the closing minutes of games. Ok, I joke.

Assuming that this a RS year for Myles, I wouldn't mind seeing Nathan get a few mid-game minutes if we establish a cushion.
 
Them not taking the next two opponents for granted & coming out without focus or on what they would call a hangover from the big win. Need them to continue to do what has made them successful so far and play smart, hard and tough.

Icing on the cake would be Williams finding his shot & the walk ons getting some burn in the last 5 minutes of the game as we ahead comfortably so Corey & Geo can rest.
 
Good answers. In summary
- Doucoure and Thiam more visible
- #5 finds his shot
- no injuries
- ideally less minutes for Geo and Corey (I still can't help thinking what if Nigel Johnson was still here to eat up minutes at guard - at UVA he's averaging 21 minutes, 7 pts and 2.3 assists).
 
Commanding double digit wins so that bench players who rarely play get some minutes prior to full time B1G competition .
 
The game is moving very fast for Duke at this point. He's forcing shots and taking bad fouls. Freshman stuff. Don't expect leaps and bounds this season. I'm looking for marginal improvements. Watch out next year. Love to see him play 20+ min in each of the next 2 games.

Mike Williams is never going to be a lights out shooter, but I'm hoping he can at least knock down wide open looks.

Corey build upon the SHU performance. Limit turnovers, take good shots, knock em down.

Everyone stay injury free.
 
I want to see a lot of the second team, walk-on's and guys who do the same amount of practice and don't get the playing time. If this happens it means we did not have a let down!!!!!!
