He’s drawn 13 fouls and committed 1 loose ball foul? Not buying it

He might be a flawed player for the next level, but that was an incredible big game performance. He was pretty dominant.

@HomeRunBaker has been on this for a while but there’s no way in hell I would spend a top 20 pick on Zach Edey. 25 is questionable to be honest
Anyone who takes him Top-40 would be getting terrible value. I guess maybe late 40s/50s simply based on lack of other options.


I don’t understand why Edey isn’t contesting harder at the rim
His first priority is to defend in control to avoid foul trouble. By doing this he doesn’t explode quick enough to really contest hard in traffic. I’m really impressed with how much he’s improved his conditioning over the years. The kid has worked hard and he cares. These are great qualities for your star player.

If Duke wins this I may have to pull for them against Purdue. Disgusting.

NC State has completed the comeback and is up 4 on Duke right now, btw. They might be the proverbial meteor that ought to hit Duke.

Filipowski with a cheap shot. What a surprise.
You were the one that maintained he caused the court storm and should have been hit right? Maybe your opinions on Duke and Filipowski are so tainted that they probably only belong on UNC specific message boards?

State are the Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs
IMO, this entire Duke season is epitomized by Jeremy Roach. A fairly good college player who had the hubris to believe he could actually go pro and get drafted last year, despite the fact he has literally never appeared on a top 100 list ever. When that guy is your senior leader, it’s going to lead to disjointed offense/no passing and hero ball. Which are all pretty big landmarks of this particular team

They didn't say what the final call was, but they counted the 3 that was in the air, and NC State got the ball (But no FTs), so i'm guessing it was an F1?
It was a loose ball common foul. So NCSU ball. But any shots taken before the foul count

For all of the “Duke gets all of the calls” brigade tnah was a clear foul on the Filipowski 3

Flip is so detestable.

Lmao. I’ll say this again. Maybe your opinion on these games is so tainted that theyre probably not worth a post on a regular board

Oh it’s tainted alright. And since when is Duke hate not a worthy post?
