A lot can be forgiven with the sloppiness last night when you realize guys were in different roles, playing different allotments of minutes in lineups that haven't played together. Still managed to pull it together & beat a Pitt team that lost a 2-possession game to Clemson.

not a pretty half for Duke, but they escape the first with a lead. Very disjointed, and some very low basketball IQ basketball in several instances.

I think we'll see a different Cam next time out. Dude does not like to lose, and like a true leader, he's taking the blame. That's what you do.

Once again there's a lot for Duke to clean up after this game. Too many blown layups, too many inexcusable fouls, and many slow rotations defensively. Those are things you can control.

Well done Seth Trimble, big shot from a great player and pretty bad defense on it from Duke.
February 8, 2026 at 1:42 AM
Well done UNC, they take the game 71-68
February 8, 2026 at 1:40 AM
gotta score here, have to, your best play right now and Boozer has to be strong with it.

Duke has to really slow this game down, a lot to win. If it becomes a running game, they are toast.
February 8, 2026 at 1:21 AM
I am not sure how Duke survives this with only 2 bigs and one being in foul trouble, but we shall see.
February 8, 2026 at 1:21 AM
Duke needs this timeout badly, they are tired, clearly
February 8, 2026 at 1:13 AM
If you are Scheyer, do you start in zone to begin the second half? Just for a series or 2? Then switch back to throw them off? I'd consider it.
February 8, 2026 at 12:41 AM
Duke shot 53% overall, 50% from 3. UNC shot 33% overall and 25% from 3. Duke doubles up UNC on the boards 22 to 11. 13 to 4 advantage for Duke in second chance points and 18-4 in paint points.
February 8, 2026 at 12:34 AM
great defense to end the half from Duke, going into the half up 12, 41-29
February 8, 2026 at 12:31 AM
that was a set to get Cayden an open look... that was glorious
February 8, 2026 at 12:29 AM
Not sure if we'll see some zone but I wouldnt be surprised to protect the foul situation
February 8, 2026 at 12:21 AM
I'd still leave Boozer sitting honestly
February 8, 2026 at 12:11 AM
The refs are asserting themselves, and Duke will need to adjust accordingly
February 8, 2026 at 12:09 AM
early returns on the glass, Duke up 7-1 there
February 7, 2026 at 11:47 PM
Glad to see a fast start from Duke, I like how they are slowing the game down, this definitely favors Duke. But UNC will go on a run.
