March 15Mar 15 Author Carolina’s officials made adjustments at the half. They just called an and 1 on Duke when they refused to call the exact same on Carolina on the possession right before it. They’ve been ridiculous this half.
March 15Mar 15 Author Carolina has put their focus on not letting us take 3’s and it’s working somewhat but we’ve made some adjustments. Gotta defend better.
March 15Mar 15 They are getting everything inside. 6 point game. A loss here would be absolutely brutal after that first half.

March 15Mar 15 Those last 10 minutes of the first half were a defensive showcase. I have re watched it this morning
March 15Mar 15 Author Obviously glad we won but I feel kinda bad for Withers. Especially if they miss the tournament because of it, which would be ridiculous, they are absolutely a tournament team.
March 16Mar 16 Author Louisville looked really good at the end of the half, we looked tired and stagnant. Better adjust at halftime.
March 16Mar 16 A rough last few minutes for Duke in the first half. Louisville is good so not shocked that it’s been very close. Louisville getting a little separation here to go into half is a little scary. Foster has had a good few games but man he really needs to work on his finishing when he gets contact. He’d really benefit by improving there.
March 16Mar 16 Author Seems like he and Proctor used to be able to get to the rim and finish more. They’re really good on D though.
March 16Mar 16 Excellent 2nd half so far. Defense has been MUCH more focused so far. Louisville will battle back and it’ll be close, but a really strong response by this team.
March 16Mar 16 Who would have thought that the offense would run thru Big Pat for a few minutes in a title game? That is some wild crap and being able to a add a guy in the middle of Feb to the rotation and trusting him is crazy.
March 16Mar 16 Author The defense was incredible in the second half. Totally frustrated Louisville. Hats off to Scheyer and his staff (and the team of course). Lost the best player in the country, and another key player, and still won the ACC Tournament Championship. James and Gillis were great pickups.

Awesome job by Scheyer to get him in there. We needed his toughness.

March 16Mar 16 I think Khaman showing off his defensive versatility is going to be key for us. He has shown the ability to step up on a pick and roll and guard the handler up at the 3pt line and harass them. We saw a lot of that in the second half yesterday and it paid off big time.
March 16Mar 16 Author Am I wrong in thinking there’s a good chance Ngongba comes back next year? If he keeps developing the way he has, keeps improving on defense, he’s going to be a beast.

I don’t think he’d be a high pick by any means. He’s benefit greatly from a full year of starting and showing off everything he has (after an offseason of improving).
