Did anyone think we had much of a chance


Feb 11, 2022, 4:49 AM

of beating #7 Duke with two of our 11 ppg starters injured or on the bench?

Hunter Tyson and David Collins both out made it nearly impossible to get back in this game against Duke. I think we had a good scrappy team this year, but we definitely have to have shooters on the floor to back up Hall. The reality is, when we have injuries, we statistically will likely come up short. But we still only lost by 2 to UNC with Tyson out, and they beat us as usual on the boards.
We still have 7 more games until the ACC tournament.

Spread was 7 I said 10. Did not feel the optimism some were on here unfortunately. Duke just took UNC to the woodshed at their place and we lost to that same team on our home floor.

More of a reason for them to kick our behinds. Duke won’t lose 2 in a row very often.

Oh no, I totally agree

I always get passionate about our Tigers. All the boobirds were blaming the loss on BB and I was just trying to throw some reason into the chaos. There was no magical game plan that could have kept us from most likely losing this one, especially with two starters out. We just don't have a deep bench, or one full of McDonald's All-Americans.

But I have seen some our scrappy teams do more with less before. We had a close one against UNC with one starter out, and UNC is wiping the floor with FSU right now.

I thought we had a chance before the game, but it was pretty obvious after it started that it was an uphill battle. They were bigger at every position. They shot better. It was a terrible game to watch.

Nothing wrong with optimism mountaineer. Win, lose or draw it’s always GO TIGERS!
