Man, that sucks. I thought Azabuke has a lot of upside. He may have been a beast by March. I guess we're now gonna see a lot more of Mitch Lightfoot. [Reply]
"I handle things the way I handle them,'' the Duke coach said. "And I think I've handled this correctly, and I will continue to handle it correctly, and I don't need to satisfy what other people think I should do.''
Then he thinks about it and this happens:
"Duke suspends Grayson Allen indefinitely. Statement from Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski: "We have had the opportunity to thoroughly review the incident involving Grayson Allen from last night's game against Elon. As I stated last night, the incident was unacceptable and inexcusable. He took an important step last night by apologizing in person to Steven Santa Ana and Coach Matt Matheny. As a program, we needed to take further steps regarding his actions that do not meet the standards of Duke Basketball. To that end, we have determined that Grayson will be suspended from competition for an indefinite amount of time." [Reply]
Biigger loss than I think lot of fans realize. We desperately need his shot blocking ability and girth in the lane. Maybe we should just put Bragg in there at the 5 and just go full Golden State trying to hoist up as many threes and jumpers as possible [Reply]
On the one hand, Udoka was a literal huge presence in the paint. On the other hand, he was averaging 5 points and 4 rebounds.
This team will win or lose with the guard play and perimeter scoring, period. If Landen Lucas can catch passes crashing the paint, this team will be successful.
All I can say is thank God for video surveillance, or we'd be up shit creek without a big man. [Reply]

1.7 blocks per game in 12.9 minutes of play. Don't care about his scoring AT ALL. We needed his interior defense and size. If we run up against a team with two tough bigs inside, we are ****ed. Remember when we played Stanford without Embiid? Horrible match up. We lost. [Reply]

Ok, he didn't have a great stat line. But if KU gets in another foul fest like the Duke game, he would give the team another 5 fouls from a big. That could be a very big loss. [Reply]
