Purdue was up 18 at the half and lost by 4...to a team that had 3 scholarship guards available. 

 

If Archie Miller still can't beat that team this year, he should resign. Good lord, that was pitiful. 

It was one game lol. The E8 team from a few year’s ago was dreadful in the non-conference.

Ehh.. This seems like a pretty normal Painter team which seem to always struggle early in the year. Plays overall good D, has some dead eye shooters, and is dominant inside. Going to be streaky, no doubt, but Edey and Williams are two handfuls and if the 3's are dropping can be really dangerous.

Anyone remember Matthew Hurt? Was AAU teammates with Race Thompson in HS and considered IU for a brief minute. Ended up picking Duke. From watching him twice this season as a Sophmore he seems like he was pretty overrated. Seems like a selfish player and really hasn't shown anything special besides maybe a decent mid range jumper.

maybe, but he is also Duke's leading scorer on the season thus far.

He might be a little overrated, but looking at him, I won't if Duke has any strength and conditioning program at all...dude is just rail thin and bound to get pushed around in the paint.

From the minimal sample I have watched, Dawson Garcia is a much better player.  Also, from the same AAU tam as Race.

Coach K thinks the NCAA should reconsider whether to play through the pandemic.

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski questions playing basketball games during coronavirus pandemic (espn.com)

Translation:  We just got our arses handed to us at home for the second time in a week by a Big Ten team and our NCAA seed is going to be negatively impacted by that.

Ahhh, yeah...well, I mentioned this in another thread and the board basically said "tough luck and f-off Coach K...deal with it!".   😂

I watched that game.  Hurt is a terrible defender, really weak and soft, and low IQ on offense.  Other than those things, he’s great.   I cannot emphasize enough how soft and bad he was on defense.

They shouldn’t be ranked.  They are not remotely a good team.  What’s worse, K hasn’t gotten through to them mentally.   I wish IU could have played them in Durham.

The same Coach K that said the tournament must be played this year? https://www.espn.com/video/clip/_/id/29687376

The same Coach K that said every team should be in the tournament?https://accsports.com/acc-news/acc-proposes-every-division-i-team-make-2021-ncaa-tournament-an-effort-led-by-coach-k/

Food for thought. Since Krzyzewski is pronounced Sha-chef-ski with the K making an Sh sound, then Duke should be pronounced Du-Sh-e and he should be called Coach Shh and STHU.
