Nice game all around. I can’t remember the last time we beat a good team that convincingly while getting homered that badly.

Duke is bad.  We had nearly 20 turnovers and still held a double digit advantage start to finish. Nice to see scoring so evenly balanced, but really felt like we should have won by more. Duke may not win half their games this year.

I didn't mind Bilas. I especially loved when he started clowning the refs on their bullshit calls.

I did enjoy him ripping the refs a new ass. He flat out told the truth.

He must’ve been drunk or high. Going on some Bill Walton tangents. Talking about unicorns and shit. 😂

Good solid work. All credit to the players for more consistent effort on both sides of ball.
We shot 58%. That will make up for a lot of other things.....
We hit threes early and Duke simply cannot shoot.They sht the bed on threes vs MSU also.
Worst offensive team they have had in awhile. I knew they were slightly down, but they are kind of a mess.
If the name on the jersey was something else I would say they are Top 30 team at best.
I am sure they will get better.

We can be good. There are enough pieces if staff can sort it out.
There was a shift to play Ayo more off the ball it appeared.
Have to get Kofi going.

Most improved player is DaMonte. Makes plays. Plays hard every second.

BReal is still Damonte dumb

My complaint about him before was he was only a slightly above average defender and contributed nothing on offense. Didn't even look at the basket.
He started to look to shoot at end of last year, and now again this year. His form has improved a lot and is actually solid. He requires them to guard him now.
He is solid defender and rebounder. Too small in some matchups at the 4 but pretty good feet.
20 mpg is about right like tonight. I don't care if he starts if that is what staff want, but do not want him out there 33 minutes like at Baylor.

If we got as many FTs as we should have, we would have won by more.

Duke will be fine. They aren’t a top 10 team by any means, but they may be a borderline top 25 team.

Big Ten would have had a clean 7-0 sweep against the ACC tonight if not for the Boilers gag job.

The difference between the quality of Baylor and the quality of Duke was obvious. Thought UI played well last night, except for the turnovers and Kofi. That said, as I mentioned last year Curbelo is going to be the truth. I think he'll be the most impactful player for UI since Deron by the time he leaves.

Ayo wasn't spectacular but was consistent. Damonte with a great game, a three and d guy now which is exactly what this team needs. Trent's handle has disappeared. That's a bit concerning.

They have to figure out a way to defend the pick and roll better. Baylor buried them on it. They played it a little firmer tonight but it was still very meh. Kofi just doesn't have the foot speed for it. I think they should go a few possessions zone here and there to change up the other team's rhythm.

Speaking of Kofi, these last few games have shown why he's a marginal (at best) NBA prospect. Can't defend P&R or perimeter switches, and he's got no quick twitch ability. Always has to gather himself. And he not even attacking the bucket with consistency anymore. Hopefully he gets back to it.

Miler is an assassin with other aspects to his game. Doesn't seem like a freshman out there, already decent on defense and doesn't make too many youthful mistakes.
