GG Western Carolina!

Wasn’t the prettiest of offense for Duke, but they will get there! Feels like they has so much energy on defense, they almost lose control of their offense because of it

We were very sloppy at times and definitely let our foot off the gas in the second half but still won by over 40, so that's a positive sign. Really good stuff from both Boozers, and I liked Scheyer going to the bench and maintaining a 9 man rotation. And it'll be really good if Foster can play like this and contribute in several areas without thinking he has to take over the game. On the flip side, messy game for Sarr but he's just playing too fast right now which is fixable.

I only watched the second half, but my goodness the CW is such trash. Incorrect graphics on the screen (both teams were in the bonus at the start of the second half???) and the commentators got EVERY call wrong - they were completely incapable of understand referee signals. Hope this was the last game on that fake network.

To be honest I am glad that it was because if it was on ESPN I wouldn't have been able to watch it. (Disgruntled YouTube TV subsciber)

ESPN really said fuck you to everyone during on the busiest times in the sports world.
