Can’t loose with Bootsy in the house.

Duke's 3-pt. FG% is around 31%. I'd zone the dickens outta 'em. 

Boeheim’s zone worked against them, but every player in his zone has long arms. Duke couldn’t shoot over the zone.

We have to play zone because Clark can’t guard bigs, and Keita hasn’t played enough basketball. This is too big of an ask for him.

One major downside of the transfer game is that we never have enough players.

The word I get from an ACC fan is that they don't call fouls on Zion. With Dick Vitale doing the color, don't expect any deep analysis from the booth. I could not imagine this SJU team being an 18 point underdog, but Duke at home and biased refs add up. Don't agree on a zone. The only way to beat Duke is to be quicker and get say 15 20 trunovers.

3 straight 3s on Ponds side

Our defensive is atrocious. Watch the action of our players on the weak side.

Why does Ponds need to walk and dribble thru his legs the whole way up the court?

Who cares. It lets him get in a rhythm and read his opponents movement in response.

The less Time Simon has the ball the better

80 percent shooting for duke- we do this almost every game lately. Let teams come out on fire.

Down 2 with ponds scoreless, can't ask for better than that

Getting chppy

Ponds dribbling up through his legs, playing with the ball so Zion can take it like a baby......
Ponds has been awful today.

Yup, said the same earlier. Jones has him locked up so far

Every other game we have someone other than Ponds bring up the ball 50% of the time. Today we have him bring it up into a double team 100% of the time. Whyyyyyyyy?

Keep putting the ball thru your legs for no reason. Dope

Not sure why we went back to zone.  Man was working fine.

You’re out of your mind. There is more to the game the scoring.

Jones is not locking him up. They're doubling him and forcing him to give it up.

Nice putback Keita

Huh? Picking his pocket
