    Madison Square Garden Rematch: Utah vs. Duke

    I'm surprised there's no thread for this (or maybe I can't find it, which would not surprise me). Here's Phil Cullen's e-mail about the game:

    *****

    The Duke Blue Devils are currently ranked #6 inthe AP Coaches Poll with a 9-1 record overall. This year Duke team has adifferent look and feel to them but they are scoring the basketball better thananyone in the country, ranked 1st in Offensive Efficiency.

    Duke is led by #3 Grayson Allen who is a do it all kind of guy. Allen isa strong driver who can also knock down the three shooting 46% from the 3 ptline. He is averaging 21.4 ppg and is looking to score on every touch ofthe basketball. Surrounding Allen are #14 Brandon Ingram, 14.9 ppg who is69 with guard skills and #13 Matt Jones averaging 13.6 ppg and shooting 46%from 3 pt line. At the center position they have 610 250 lb, #40 MarshallPlumlee, averaging 7 rpg.

    Duke will be without their starting 4 man Amile Jefferson who was averaging adouble double due to a foot injury.

    Duke has shown several different looks defensively with pressure man to man butwith the injury to Jefferson we would not be surprised to see more 2-3 zone andeven a 1-3-1 extended zone.

    For us to win we need to take care of the basketball by limiting turnovers andguard the bounce on defense. This team is loaded with talent capable ofscoring from any position. We need to use our size to our advantage andadjust to their smaller lineups. Click here for the Duke stats.

    Catch the game tomorrow at 10:00 am (MT) on ESPN. GO UTES!

    I'm listening in on radio. Dickie V must be having fits about Jakob.

    These Duke guys are human.

    Riley and Soto are very critical of the referees. Unusually so.

    Kind of a weak call on Jakobs second foul. Don't worry about the refs, keep playing loose.

    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

    10 TOs. But Duke shooting 37%. They have 6 more shots from the field than we do.

    The end of half officiating was a bit odd.

    If we can withstand whatever push they make coming out of halftime, we have a shot.

    We have reached that point where that piece of shit is so in the officials head that they are going to call everything and sometimes call fouls when there is zero contact. This has to be expected and we need to adjust.

    So I said to David Eckstein, "You promised me, Eckstein, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I noticed that during the most trying periods of my life, there have only been one set of prints in the sand. Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?" David Eckstein replied, "Because my little legs had gotten tired, and you were carrying me." And I looked down and saw that I was still carrying David Eckstein.

    I like the way Bonam is playing. Other than the unnecessary double clutch that caused him to miss a layup, he's been good. I think his aggressiveness is rubbing off on Kuzma too.

    So you elbow the defender to get around him and it's the defenders fault.

    We got the benefit of Plumlees 4th when the other guy committed the foul, so I'll take poor officiating both ways. We just have to keep pushing. It's there.

    Replay he clearly got his arm. Could have been called on either guy.

    He made the mistake of swatting from behind.

    You can't let up against elite teams like this. We are about to find out a lot about this team.

    What that piece of shit at Duke does with officials is a disgrace to the game. He is a horrible human being. The game would be substantially better had he never been a coach. He doesn't have a single redeemable quality.

    Wow. You can throw Poeltl to the floor and it's a no call. The guy runs into him on a loose ball and it's a foul on Poeltl. MSG really is their home away from home.

    The 4th foul on Plumlee was a gift for the piece of shit at Duke. Now he can do whatever he wants with no repercussions. 3 obvious fouls there, no call. They follow it up with a call on Poeltl.
