If that dude says exploited the matchups one more time…
At the end of the day, we lost by fours 3s and went 2-14 from three. The stretch of great D for most of the first half was very encouraging. The last minute of the first half and first few minutes of the second half were a bummer.

Disappointing. I just don’t think they were prepared for that level of play.
On a positive note, Cam made some nice contributions. 4 pts, 8 reb, 1 ast, 2 stl in 23 min.
Live by the three. Die by the three.
Agreed. I was encouraged by Cam. Definitely looks like a dude who isn't afraid and will get better with more experience.Disappointing. I just don’t think they were prepared for that level of play.

a few takes...
1 - Stop doing the DUI chants at Duke players. We did it to Hurley in 93 and the same thing happened-- close game at halftime turned into a forcible sodomy in the second half.
2 - Can't have stupid turnovers. I love you, Alondes, but the game was effectively over at halftime when we allowed them to score 6 points in 17 seconds off 2 turnovers. It really sucked the air out of what was a very good defensive effort for almost a full half.
3 - We can't shoot. Our lack of shooters was always a weak spot, but against a team that can shoot like Duke, it's a curse. We have no way to catch up. Even if Mucius has one of his hot games, it's not enough against a team with multliple shooters.
4 - We need guard play. I love Hildreth's energy in the first half, but our play at the point is not good. Williamson can no longer shoot and Hildreth and Whitt have never shown the ability to shoot. If they could penetrate and dish, it might compensate, but they don't really do that the way we need them to either.\
5 - Crowd was lame. I heard us almost get riled up after a dunk tied the game in the first half. To hear the Duke chants at the end was embarrassing. We need drunk students in there making noise and beating up Duke fans.
Williams TO’s are a direct result of us not having a PG which we desperately need.
