Duke vs. Georgia Tech Full Game Replay | 2024-25 ACC Men's Basketball
they are Lo missing three guys they've had some injury problems this would be a a major type of win for them today and Duke this may be one of John it may be his best team and defensively I think it is his third years Duke K coach his team starts with the ball e Cel Tommy morresy Tony Henderson our officials teams that split a couple of very close games a year ago Georgia Tech on a court where it took down three sweet 16 teams ni defense Dongo with a steel to start the game and this is just about how it looked in the final minute of the game last year n George to Dongo that was the game ceiling duck this is the first pass that's some play to started out I mean Duke was patient and they just made a little mistake and Georgia Tech took advantage of it good team nine and two five wins in a row KH kiple hoping to get him going from three come on malawat on the offensive glass lost it and a turnover to missed the first two possessions for Duke they just don't understand why he's not shooting it better he's a great shooter 95% free throw shooter and he just can not get it going and that's something that dukee needs for a tech off the doo slam with Nate George as sophomore leading the ACC and assist Lance Terry their leading scorer mustaf a terrific freshman and Ryan Matos played very well in two games since returning to the team had been away after after the loss of his father dmbe Matumbo a couple of months ago on the drive mustaf got it on the rim Tyrese Proctor with a rebound for Duke starting five for Duke seon James making his fifth straight start with Proctor kiple flag who is fouled and malawat Jim Cooper flag coming off 24 points he scored 24 of Duke 68 in the win over George Mason and oh by the way nine rebounds four assists three Steals and a block he's going to do everything and this is what he does best go to the basket and you know get foul draw fouls very physical tough driver and hasn't shot the ball well and that's something that uh I think Duke as a whole I think that's what they're looking for you know they've got more Shooters this year more guys that can shoot and but they haven't really shot it great and I think they'll capable of it flag of 76% free throw shooter ends a streak of 13 straight made free throws another thing you got to remember the first road game in the league oh things are different it's just different when you go on the road different intensity John sh will have reminded his team of that this a place they lost about a year ago to the day early in conference play what was the first leag game last season for these teams Georgia Tech offensively what do you like for them you know they they've had so many injuries it's hard for them to get any consistency and they haven't shot it really well either but they've got five guys that score they all score 10 12 points so they're they're balanced and that's good in some ways but it's also bad that you don't have that guy to go to you like to have that guy you're Ching the flats for Damon stmy and people really like the energy he's brought to the program recruiting has ticked up in a major way they were 14 and 18 but again had some huge wins his first year flag drives it turnaround shot rims out and rebounded by Ryan [Applause] matambo Georgia Tech's getting off to a great start this is a good start for them George sophomore averaging six assists per game out of Toronto for pretty young Yellow Jackets core in a mataba over malawat follows his own Miss Ryan matambo denied it out typically when there's a matambo down there he's the one blocking the shot but B watch with a little D kimbe well we lost his father this year who was a great man a great player I know he blocked a lot of cuse shots I was right there watching him his Sun's gotten better he struggled a little bit at Georgetown but he is getting better tech one for five to start deep shot clock for geord got the switch on the big malat flips it off the glass and good prayer answered that happens once in a while it's a coach you just can't stand it when you play great defense and and that happens but that's that's that's basketball over a 75 wingspan for the bucket here's James very physical guard seon James the first D field goal I think he's been a good steady player for them he's uh he I think he f in I think he does the things they need to have done and uh I think you get a four-year player you Proctor's in his third year B Brown we'll see coming in as in his third year those veterans are going to help this Duke team George on the long possession against this Duke defense once again finds himself in the match up with malawat got a step on him lost control and then his prayer is short grabbed by flag he could be a one man fast break but Nago got back quickly that's what he does he takes it and goes kiple good look and good for three that's a big shot they need to get him going they talk John TR talked about it before the game today and you know he shoots it in practice every day so they know he can shoot that been just four for 18 three in the last four the potential lottery pick KH kiple Dongo it's in trouble throws it inside but tumbo bails him out back to Dango shot fake and mumble with a stun very nice play you know you got the shot blocker there you're aware of him he made a great pass and that's what they have to do ryo's first bucket Georgia Tech three for eight Duke two for four in the early going a Duke team that has done everything pretty well offensively nothing Elite flag misses a three that's a part of his game they hope will grow it's not there yet 10 for 42 Terry's three not there as an answer and James with a rebound Hooper flag 0 for two start with a made free throw and tyres Proctor will score at plus a foul to take us to our first stoppage a Cooper flag's got a point in a rebound here celebrating his 18th birthday it's been a it's like when the dream team played the college kids beat him supposedly in the first scrimmage and then the next day they woke up and it was different right well you've been around USA Basketball lot how many 17year olds even get invited no they don't they don't sometimes there's some young Kevin Durant was young when he came but uh it's unusual uh it's a tough Camp they bring in really good NBA players usually and then the great players three-point play for Proctor out of the timeout it's 96 Duke in the lead Malik Brown Isaiah Evans on the floor for Duke that shot left short by georgean saved by Brown in flag they make it hard for you to get a good shot you know everybody thinks they shoot bad against them but they they shoot bad for a reason the defense is that good flag ha as he typically is in the paint he'll get to the line for two more and the foul is second against Ryan Mato Georgia Tech starting center you know he gets in there against big guys in colge imagine what it was like in high school when he got in there against 6'4 guys he just was dunking and throwing things up down he's just tough to guard down there he's just mobile he knows how to play and he's he's just if you get to him he he can pass it what's the next step in this game well is is it's shown right here his his shot is good it looks good it's just not quite there yet and that's the only thing he has to do it's when you're in col when you're 18 years old the only thing you have to do to be a great NBA player is shoot the ball better that's not that's not bad he doesn't have to get stronger he doesn't have to get better with the ball he doesn't have to get smarter he he's all that he just got to and he's got a good release he'll he'll get better fourpoint lead for Duke projected number one pick JB and McCollum two on the floor for Georgia Tech right now Terry loses control to Proctor here is flag on the run and stop yeah he just he's different you got to enjoy him while he's here he's only going to be here one year oh he had that one that was going down too foul on Isaiah Evans terminated what would have been a pick six and what would have looked like one of these there's just nothing you can do with him in the open court I mean when they get turnovers and going that way you you just cannot play with Duke Duke only behind Tennessee in terms of adjusted defensive efficiency in the country they're top eight field goal defense scoring defense and John sh said it to us the offense is behind but I don't mind that this time of the year no I mean their defense is going to keep them in every game even if they're off a little bit their their defense is going to be good nice drop by The Freshman jadeen Musta really nice drive that's going against Malik Brown who's a really good Defender I know I had him I recruited him at Syracuse he's really good Defender and uh that was a big time move for a freshman freshman out of the overtime Elite program which is just a couple of minutes from here kipo P his second three and a good screen you don't see it but Malik Brown got him open with a great screen that's what Malik Brown does defense rebounding and screening if there were shot stats kept for deflections and screens leading to open threes be the top five well you know he was three in the in the League last year in Steels as a center and he just got another one another one they do keep stats of deflection to Duke they tell us he has 69 in 10 games what a tough finish that is Tyrese Proctor around the rim and the lead for Duke is [Applause] nine Blue Devils have hit their last four from the field at three will go big shot out of the corner dunan Powell you can't let these guys get away if they get away early it's it's almost impossible to come back you have to keep in touch first May three for Georgia Tech team that shoots it about 32.2% kiple will drive it this time into Malik Brown creating space and finishing with the left he finishes left better than right he uses his left hand better than his right hand that's what unique about him dke now seven for 10 from the field make it five straight makes for the blue [Music] doubles how just hit from three takes it into the teeth of brown and flag rips it away from Dongo had Evans for a moment now Evans will shoot it and Evans will hit it when Duke shoots the ball well from the perimeter I don't think there's [Applause] anybody here in mamers December 2nd 2023 Georgia Tech got out to a hot start first four baskets were threes LED 122 LED most of the away trailed late but by Dango with a go-ahead dunk in the final minute and the yellow jackets stunned Duke 7268 I know it's a different team for Duke but it seems like John Shy's team has got when you can rely on your defense when your offense is off a little bit that's that's how you wait only scored 68 Tuesday but they only gave up 47 for George Mason they've gone through some prolonged scor scoring DRS this year not today six for their last six lead is 11 Damon STM took a timeout and sent us to the last break Georgia Tech has not had easy shots here's a drive a Miss from Lance Terry their leading scorer who still has not found a basket every shot is [Applause] H Caleb Foster boy they'd love to get him going for Duke James for three it's good seven in a row from the field for Duke seon James with a three just a different team this [Music] year Powells hit one from the corner gets around flag nice [Applause] finish when the big guys out they don't have that presence in there the shot blocker Fosters this three snaps the streak of seven straight makes for dke Brown's a really good Defender and gets his hands on a lot of balls but is not the shot blocker when the big guy's not in the game and I say the big guy because I can't say his name oh you got it come on malat yeah malat I got that I should know that the really big guy 72 yeah Power pullup now he got fouled by flag in front of the Duke bench three free throws as Cooper flag gets an exclanation for Tony Henderson you just can't be near the three-point shooter whether he's moving in or not you got to give him room to land the problem was of course it took place right in front of Coach Tri so he he had a good look at it but I as as did we as you can tell yeah I think it's uh he moved in a little just enough second straight game flag has fouled a three-point shooter tonight right here on acc Network in the ESPN app this is an ACC game now our Prime Time West Coast match at least half an ACC game with Cal against number 23 San Diego State Andre sty yakovich 20 or more at six of his last eight for I know you have to get used to this ACC team now it's hard it is hard presidents have no idea what geogra I think they all failed geography in meico but uh they uh yeah it's different but just think how many books you could have read on the flight to Berkeley that's true that's the only time I read is on the flight so I read a couple I read at least one full on just the way out little Zone here little try something different Duke's pretty good against zones because of their shooting and they rebound the ball so well so it'll be interesting Foster fine extended for Mason Gillis getting his first time good good good defense that's sad for a coach they did a great job and a guy that you really probably want to shoot a jump shot shoots it but he makes it most of Mala watch's shots are dunks or layups extended range there for 12-point lead Powell trying to keep Georgia Tech in the game he's got seven as that three swirls out strong driver cion James hesitation and an off hand finish for James and one probably go try our things I think he's right on that there's a lot of contact Zeon James is three for three for an early seven game high lead of 14 for fifth rank Duke Musta worms it around to George in and out for [Applause] three hesitation by Gillis was not shot at well this year little pressure when you come in as a shooter and you don't get to play a lot of minutes it puts a little extra pressure on Foster Gillis is open Gillis has a look Gillis too strong and malawat slams into Powell for a foul yeah it's it's tough you know Gillis play to Purdue used to shooting a lot of Threes gets in doesn't get many that's not easy to be in that position and John sh said he's been what they want from a leadership perspective the locker room but 47% at Purdue year ago right now he's just 8 for 31 it's just the numbers when you don't get the numbers you know if you if you shoot Steph Curry went 0 for S the other night the next 70 takes you'll probably make I mean it's just the way it is when you're a shooter you're going to miss something you said it earlier we talking to John sh your son Buddy b 17% nonconference here and then 41 in the league that could of a shooter you want Mason Gill to keep putting him up yeah you want him to shoot I think Duke's a little Zone which I have not seen from them in a long time I think both teams are just playing Zone cuz you're here I they must I think they feel I need it or something I need to look uhoh here it is and thought he was going to make that he's on hit his first couple Mal watch on a de ties it up it'll go to Tech but the Duke Ben to our right screaming as loud as it's been all game it's easy to tell energy when you're next to one of the benches but this has been a Juiced up to bench the first 12 minutes or so well when you're making shots there everybody's a lot happier that's just the way it works did you like noon games you know I I didn't I really didn't cuz I I'm not a morning person I stay up late but when you do play him you're done and three you kind of feel good you don't have to worry about when it's 8:00 you worry about it all day George on a slip for Dogo H watch is there to deter him Dango just couldn't get around him too big canle Foster was out of bounds so Duke will turn it over for the fourth time that's the worst thing a coach I I think you can see when it the Court's been painted for a 100 years it's they don't change the lines they're there and you're out of bounds Duke shooting at 65% but they know it step on the endline great start for the [Music] Devils love to see that you know to get your players involved Community is something that can last them a lifetime and it's it's a great tribute to him and you know as a player he just brings so much stability and he's not you know he's a team five team first guy he can score but he's solid in every aspect of the game what do you like about them moving him into the starting lineup for foster I just think it's been good I just think he's a really proven player a really good player and you know I think Foster will contribute Off the Bench but I mean his kids ear the job I think it's his he's got seven today three for three two rebounds and assists no turnovers there's Caleb Foster Duke is 11 for 17 from the field four for9 from three leading by 14 in a building they lost a year ago Powell already above his season average for Georgia Tech yeah he's been a bright SP Dongo has taken just one shot in the game his second will be short you know last year he was a physical presence inside and this year he looks like he's trying to play on the perimeter proor got three from the Malo screen missed badly he must have had a premonition which wasn't very good dke doesn't take many shots like that just kind of a quick look coach you're going no and then if it goes in you go oh yeah good shot nice play what I wanted all along yeah first foul on canle it's Duke's fourth flag back on the floor four points on his 18th birthday couple of rebounds and assist D go three nice that's good like to see him get going I mean he had a great freshman year you'd like to see him get going this year just is fifth attempt third make from three on the Year back to the zone work it into flag flag trips got rid of it to Proctor the late discharge looking for flag knocked Away by George and then George is called for a foul I don't know about that they're both going for it but you know the Zone has been a little distraction for for Duke they haven't really got it to where they need to yeah that's a good call once in a while they get him right just get that on a loop you saying that's a good call yeah I hate to admit that that they do they I I tell them all this is It's A Hard game to officiate it's very hard but they get most of them right don't tell them I said you know it's recorded go back and sound just between you me and the millions of people watchingo with a three his third that's what coach Trier said before the game they thought this is the guy we got going and maybe today he'll go going and get going he is and it's a difference in the game nine points for K kiple 67 freshman from Milwaukee looks it into D quick double team freshman mustaf will drive Dongo again starting to try and exert his will on the game against that zone again and you know he made a really big time move over the big guy that's uh that's very good for Georgia Tech to see that from him up to seven 21 against Duke in the win here last year James on a hard drive went right into Ryan mumo standing up with two fouls Terry and he flips it in really tough play great play very hard play the life care come on it's Terry's first basket flag initiating malat well that's an overpowering mismatch on the 6-3 George and they're lucky it wasn't a three-point opportunity well that's what you do against the Zone trying to get in the high post flag's a good passer he gets it down low and they scor really good fast break finish that's a tough finish by Terry that's Terry 15 and a half a game he missed all of last year or most of last year with a C injy for Georgia Tech malawat at the line rattles it [Applause] in should say it was all last year he was cleared to practice in December at Lance Terry but he decided to take the year and red shirt and he said it was good for him to see the game from coach's perspective yeah I think sometimes that works he's had a he's off a really good start this year and it's good to have the veteran guys big guy comes out that opens it up a little bit for Georgia Tech to get to the basket if they can get past the initial defense free throws good for malawat who over 80% from the line Malik Browns back in Duke leading by a dozen Dongo again oh good take you like him being a little more aggressive yeah he's this is much better hit that shot and it kind of got him going a little bit and that was a good [Music] [Applause] move round for flat got a screen from Isaiah Evans and hit a three that's what they're looking for when that [Music] happens he's you can't guard him you have you have to play off him a little bit mustaf Cowell Soares in to grab the ear ball and and patiently Powell no on the second chance stays with tech it's a little different when big guys out of there they have to fight a little bit harder for the rebound they're pretty small Duke's pretty small when they go with this [Music] lineup George at the inbound now six point per game score on the year he's got seven and a chance for more musling his way into flag and that'll be the second foul against Cooper flag John Shy's going to call him over not take him out I never took a guy out when he got two I learned early in my career great player Derek Coleman when he got two if I took him out then the next game he wouldn't guard anybody bu after he got one so you didn't want come out so I I would leave smart players you can leave them they they're careful they know what they're doing some guys you have to maybe take out but some coaches take it out with two and that's it for the half I I've never never felt that was a good way to coach but a lot of a lot of coaches think that's a good way John shy listening to your way he's leaving flag out there with two fouls 13-point luxury [Applause] Proctor jabbing his way in Tyrese Proctor the option is flag h a three on the last possession drives it into traffic here and turns it over Cooper Flags got seven everybody has players with the transfer portal helps everybody and it helps teams that are down all of a sudden they get two or three key guys it happens you really see in football Syracuse just couldn't win any games last year we got a quarterback that Ohio State gifted us thank you and we won nine games and it just turned everything around and so you see it basketball too but everybody's got some players he's got the trans for James who's scored seven couple of freshmen who played really well today with him piple and flag 6 for 12 from three and they've also been their typically St defensive team holding Georgia Tech to 3 6% Bo under the shot clock I think they let him shoot and he made it yeah they I used to say all the time you know you think a guy can't shoot but when you let him shoot they make them so don't let him shoot just his fifth three of the year The [Applause] Freshman flags on the bench right now with the two [Applause] fouls Gillis and Evans on the floor together here's Mason Gillis shot fake off the three elbow good that's good for him to get that going that was a really good move and get in and get a shot you can make a little bit easier than a three first basket Powell will answer they're different when the big guy is not in there and when Cooper flag's not in there they're just not they're look at their team they're 64 64 65 64 and blee Brown is a really good Defender but he's probably only about six seven right on Q flag and malat and games all go to the scores table Yeah coach didn't like that layup this is when Duke gets super big but they're not small because all their guards are 65 are up but when you go flag at 69 and malat by the way canle 67 play him with the two or the three they become super big yeah they look different when those two guys aren't in there though there's your average height scholarship players all 65 are up for Duke malat will screen for proor and Proctor goes all the way and go to the line and you you know you really can't trust some of those sizes on guard sometimes they're 6'4 and listed 66 too you you got to be Proctor definitely with his hair in 6 set right sure but uh yeah when those two flag is in there with the big guys it's just a different [Music] team well college football playoff first round continues today two ACCC games SMU Penn State going on right now tntm Max Clemson Texas to follow after the games the Huddle crew breaks him down coach player interviews on acc Network and the ESPN app right now SMU trailing 7even nothing with the ball near the end of the first at Penn State know you're all of a sudden you look up it's a 10-point game you make a good possession here and now you think you're in the game again so that's that can happen quickly in college basketball Powell it's already tied a season high with 11 he looks comfortable out there three to shoot it Dongo just PS it up a prayer is answered with 1.5 on the shot clock this is three or four times that Duke has played really good defense and the GU is in a really tough position not much contact there pretty straight up sometimes the offensive player gets off balance and isn't really fouled but that's kind of what that looked like but again you got to give them you know got to give credit he's coming back and hit the three got to the basket he's missed a couple close in there so you have to give Georgia Tech a tremendous amount of credit they were you know 13 14 points down in trouble and now they' got a chance to get it back in again big big free throw here round it in makes it at 9 to2 run yeah I mean it's basketball is a game of runs this happens and but it's important to get the big guy out of the game he's a factor all the time there's malat a second foul as well so he is on the bench flag playing with two hosting Powell Powell knocks it away mum for Georgia Tech the other way WPS it inside and dungle finishes time out and this has been dangle I mean this is his comeback really he's been right there and Powell's been tremendous they haven't worried at all this has been a really good move back in this game a 15-point Duke lead Less Than 3 minutes ago cut to five by Georgia Tech yeah I mean this is what happens in college basketball you get R and all of a sudden these things happen that was a great I that was a really he lost the ball and got it back and again I give Georgia Tech a lot of credit especially Dango and and uh and the ter I mean they've been really good 12-2 run Damon Styers Yellow Jackets hit four consecutive shots off of John Shy's timeout Duke ball with a minute to go Brown Dango tried to intercept that pass a cutting flag will flip it home little contact there too I don't know I don't think coach TR was happy with that n call there nine for Cooper flag Musta Strip by Brown flection King Malik Brown is always got his hands on the wall always Terry rattles at home I like the fight from this Georgia Tech Team this has been good Duke's playing well and they've kept fighting dke can hold for the final shot half where the Blue Devils have shot 65% 50% from three kiple turn around to strong and Georgia Tech goes into the locker room on a 14-4 run having made its last five shots looked like a runway for a little while keeper Flags but just a little bit just a little not a lot oh some are worse well you got another half left we'll see how bad it gets fivepoint lead for Duke yeah they've got to Duke's got to get back in control the game and they kind of lost it that'll help canle for malat a slam to start the second nice pass very good play on kipple's third assist he also hit three threes in the first half nice 20 minutes for him Coach Knight always said the first four minutes of the second half that's when you get got to be good and I think he's right want to be good skip pass Tango across the way and Terry finishes good answer they that's a big answer right there how about Tango is a distributor three assist to go with his 12 points oh this is the best that I've seen from him this year I mean he's been really good Proctor has an open look and Proctor hits it long skip pass from cion James I think that both teams are into the game now and a little bit more more fluid on offense hares Proctor's got eight Duke shooting 65% George against flag Give It Up to Musta the Tombo not a clean catch T hand Dongo into malawat Dongo puts his head down and left it short goodful Big 10 that's what they need from him he's capable of all that and he hasn't done it yet this year 114 canle right around his season average George couldn't finish off the window and then James throws it off of the knee of Doo you know this is off the dribble he doesn't do as much off the dribble that's that's good when you get a shooter to get into the lane and pull up that's a everybody says you don't want to take twos but those kind of twos I think you do want to take those are easy twos when you get in there kipple was a five-star kid but with Cooper flag and Mal watch and the hype train he got a little lost in the shuffle and then broke out the summer and I'm curious your perspective when you have a kid who's well known but not a top prospect and then all of a sudden a couple of games people go oh he's a lottery pick what what can that do to you yeah I mean I don't think he's a lottery pick I think he's a good player I think sometimes we get carried away when guys have a good year Good Start um it's a it's not easy to be a loty pick another nice pass two good plays and a and a and a good pullup really good plays he's a really good sometimes we just can't be happy to say this is a really good college player let's not talk about the lottery the draft yet I mean some guys just are really good college players and maybe they can move on but let's let be a little patient with them he's got four assists now kle two to malawat in this half malawat Walling up Dongo George in the corner no and kept Alive by Ryan matambo he'll get it back too hot for Dango to handle you just can't you can't score inside when the big guy's in there he's just too much of a [Music] presence grou with nine points and not yet three three full minutes they've scored on every possession in the half flag is [Applause] [Music] bumped when you have a center he doesn't have to really score I mean it's nice if they do but when a center can control the inside like he's doing it just makes it hard for the other team one of the better field goal defenses second best two-point defense in the league as Mato blocks games just like his father I didn't see a finger wag at the end no well he's not as F that fou will go against Dongo is going in for the rebound and he's going to get called for it this is a good defensive play he's back and he comes up quick and gets the ball and gets the rebound as well first memory you have of the Matumbo uh they had him and Alonzo Morning they just blocked everything we we we said for one time we said okay let's shoot some jump shots let's not be going in there right away but I had a couple guys that could go in there Derek Coleman dumped down a couple times pull up for flag is good he's got 11 back in that zone That's The Sweet Spot the middle is open and you if you don't if they come up they dump it down so zone is not a good answer against Duke they've got too many many good passers too many good Shooters you're just not going to be able to play zone against them 90 run and a timeout Georgia Tech [Music] play off I know you're a big football guy who you got you know I I think it's hard to pick just like it's in basketball I mean Oregon's been good but they've had some narrow escapes all year so I think it's hard I think Syracuse should have gotten in there they might have won but no I mean that's that might be it might have give Notre d a better game than Indiana did last night see flag could believe each with 11 Duke is 5 for six in the second half on a 90 Blue double run well they're shooting 60% from the field and 50 from the three I mean they're they're they're hard to beat when they shoot like that and there's another block from the big guy Georgia Tech hasn't scored more than 3 minutes over for its last five see the 20 for 30 number for Duke a lights out offensive performance I went to Syracuse my math isn't that good so I think that 66 six isn't it 66. 6666 repeating for nice defensive play there by what was your major I think it was um Social Science History you know it was a good one when you start with I think it was I think it was yeah probably first of all that was 60 years ago you know major of basketball score in the SEC ACC challenge Duke had one of the two wins over Auber and then Clemson over Kentucky what do you make of the rest of the league right now under Duke it's it's really I like Clemson I think pit could be good Carolina's probably their history they'll probably get better they've lost to really good teams um but the rest is it's up in the air right now it's just every year they've said we're down and I felt every year that we would do well in the tournament and we had five or six good teams and we have every year this is the first year where that's in question and the coaches are going to have to get things going and teams can improve we a long way to go but to me knowing the game knowing what's going on having a feel for other coaches other conferences it's about you you have to still recruit but you have to have n and I think we've fallen behind in the ACC I think everybody knows that and I think that that's something that has to be corrected moving forward when the lawsuit gets settled I hope this summer I think it'll bring some clarity to it but it's about nil right now flag up the Miss couldn't finish K an uous three-point possession for Kaman malawat he's got 11 he's really going to be a good big factor this year as the year goes along he's quick long athletic he got good hands good feel for the game Georgia Tech hasn't scored at 4 and2 minutes this is now the largest lead for Duke pow three he hit that one in the first half when they needed it now they really need it FL drive and going to be a blocking F no it's going to be a charge after a discussion between and wellerson this the one of the hardest calls in the game he's moved and there's no way that's he's moving he moved in never never gets his position established I hate to be a referee but somebody has to we like you to be a referee I don't these guys are good they're good rest but they miss calls everybody does Flags [Music] third now 5 minutes without a basket for Tech Terry not close to ending n what is it about obviously it's the length for Duke what else makes them Elite defensive they're good they're get good position they get good position ball wise they stay in front of people so that they're not putting their back court in trouble but when they do get beat they have the guys back there you know flag's a big time shot blocker is you know you don't expect that from a perimeter guy that can do all the things he does but the big guy's really good he's he's a Difference Maker Georgia Tech's going to try to slow him with his Zone I think that'll be hard Evans is in the game flag for three malawat just right over the top of the TBO and then nobody guards Cooper flag no offensive rebounding always hurt zones there's nothing you can do about it and they get easy basket I like coach Ry leaves Cooper flag in theame the two fouls in the first half three fouls in the second half he leaves him in the game another ear ball for Terry we got a foul here we'll keep it with Georgia [Applause] Tech well we know he can do [Music] that big guys just such a Difference Maker he just really should say it was just an out of bounds call 12 to shoot a 14 nothing Duke run this ball thrown into the back for Terry didn't realize kiple was hot on his tail out of bounds he's going to go back to Tech with eight to shoot the K canle nearly stole that one and then Cooper flag gets a pat on the back for racing down the court big effort plays from both those guyss big effort plays when you really good and you play that hard it's a difference it was Proctor who came sliding in so Tex got to go the Lan of the floor with eight to shoot JB McCollum yet to score today throw it up top and there's the Finish they've been waiting for it ibraim Suare the red shirt freshman ends a six-minute scoring drought and a 14- nothing run and then kiple answers with three more he's coming out he's having his coming out party today on Cooper flag's birthday not nice to steal the birthday Spotlight well he hasn't stoen that completely true Cooper did get the assist there he's doing all right for himself yeah he's doing five to shoot for Terry oh it'll go against Evans his second [Music] cler and Gillis will come in flag and Proctor to the bench it's a great opportunity to get these guys try to get these guys going in a conference game they' got enough margin that you can get guys in there and get them to try to hit a couple get comfortable it's it's great opportunity in conference whether the league was up or down did you feel like something would shift when conference play started you know it it's always different in conference play and you just you just have to wait and see how it how it goes this year we're coming in as down as we've ever been nice three from the corner there the column they've been waiting for him to get going so that's that's a good sign back from the percussion a couple of games ago DAV McCollum LED Oklahoma in scoring last year yeah he's a good player and he hasn't got it going he's out for a few games but they need him to play better there are a lot of good scorers on this team that they've had so many injuries it's hurt their Rhythm and and Duke is an exceptional defensive team they don't make they make it hard for nice play kiple with a takeaway and kipple will finish another timeout taken by Damon STM it's a [Music] runaway to nipple has been really good this has been his half the shooting that's what they've been waiting for hustle play he's got four assists and against a top 25 Nebraska team that game on acc Network extra a lot of ranked teams a lot of quality teams women's Hoops in the ACC men's ACC certainly lagging mahay in the early going Duke ranked fifth pit fell out Clemson ranked for a little while has lost to straight and Duke has Georgia Tech on the ropes here with Under 12 to go Georgia Tech's having trouble getting a shot not just making a shot they're having trouble getting a [Applause] shot nipple emerges from the prey here illis back from Foster get it out maybe a good stretch for John Shire to try and get Gillis and foser going a little absolutely absolutely that's what you're trying to do right now they're both good players and you want them to have some success in a game even if it's a a margin like this second half Duke not scoring Tech 218 flag has seven and a half nipple has seven and a half those two each with seven Tech with eight as a team there's a deflection by Mason Gillis how deep do you see Duke going barring injuries by the end of the year well these two guys can play both of them Evans can play and Malik Brown we got nine guys I they've got minimum minimum of nine guys they can play Terry D in on Evans The Freshman holds up well and Evans running the break ahead of canle Evans denied and Chase down blocked by Suare stays with Duke in turn very strong move I mean here's a guy not playing much he'd start for most teams in the ACC he's really a good player Evans is a really good player Malik Brown would start from most teams in the DC [Music] tremendous depth good on offense and good on [Music] defense phis with the foul there six freshman on this Duke team they had a ton of players transfer out Jeremy roach Mark Mitchell among them Jared McCain Kyle filipowski went to the ACC lost all that Talent ENT but John sh thinks this is his best team I know you share that yeah I agree 100% I think it's his best Foster Dillis once again will drive it and he'll finish this guy's a really good player and he's play playing what about 12 minutes a game so I mean he just that's how good there when you got a guy like that coming off the bench [Applause] they have to play hard CU they know that if they don't there's somebody on the bench that's going to come in and take their place and that's a good thing to know another log possession there have been a lot of deep shot clocks in this game as D finishes they've scored five or six times at the buzzer on the shot clock on tough [Music] [Applause] [Music] shots Foster Gillis Sev Brown Off the Bench along with piple facilitating and tripped up and fouled by George that's not what he does best pick and roll stuff he's more of a catch and shoot guy nipple and Evans will take a seat Gillis as well flag back on the [Music] floor as you said you didn't like to go go too deep in the bench but when you had a team that had a a key seventh eighth nth how would you try to keep those guys engaged that they weren't playing as much well the eight seven and eight you can play that's a guard and forward and center you can play all night long and once in a while you can go to the ninth guy but it's hard to you need to have a definition of who's playing and who's not doctor is it is it harder to find definition in the game than it used to be just because of the portal and the worry that you don't play somebody he's going to leave well there you know that's always a k that's always a problem that's nothing new if a player didn't play he was going to leave but it's it's the guys that are playing are leaving that's what the problem is today starters are leaving and that's a problem but sometimes it's good like I mean roach was a good player Mitchell was a good player but I think they got better with the people that they brought in so and and those guys are good those guys are good players but it just looks like a better chemistry it looks like a better cohesive team overall and part of that is Cooper flag he kind of PS everybody he does a lot does a lot of different things which helps Lee Brown is an unselfish player just wants to set screens and roll he's not concerned about his points uh you know seon seems to be that way as well they just are much more cohesive as a team this year last pass it was the Foster 3 Suare commits a foul comes out it's been noted by John shy and a lot of other folks how mature this team is for its age in flag and malawat have two of the five youngest players in D1 yeah well Cooper flag's different you don't even talk about him in comparison to other players but Malik Browns and Junior Fosters as a junior you know bringing sien over here uh four four years at toan Powell trying to clean up his own Miss gets fouled it has been a really impressive second ACC game for Duke and Cooper flag delivering 18th birthday Joy for the Duke masses John sh said I hope he gets me a gift for the birthday got quite a few yeah he's he's that's you [Music] [Applause] w [Applause] 16 points four assists and the three-point shot finally starting to come yeah when when a guy like himim starts making shots it just changes their whole outlook they passed they he's got four assists made a couple good defensive plays he even dunked one barely but he got it he got there he's he's really he's going to be a good player for this team he needed this kind of shooting night and uh and he got no question about it he's he's going to be a Difference Maker when you have somebody who is that good of a shooter and they're not hitting shots do you always tell them just keep shooting just keep shooting you you you shoot you do them some do some shooting drills with them in practice and you say okay see it's the same basket we're going to play in you know it's the same basket we'll get you that shot and you'll make them and the good Shooters do they they'll make them eventually it's it's still worth what 10 games we games we in this season 11 games so there's 20 some games to go freshman with 43 of 69 for Duke kiple gets tripped up by mustaf by the way the last free throws for howwell those were the first points either Powell or Dongo scored in the second half they had 23 combined in the first well they were the difference in the first half and they just can't get anything going Dango is going up against the monster there so that's that's not easy but he did it in the first half he made a couple shots over them made a corner three but uh I'm not sure why they're playing n out there at the point he's uh he's really more of a shooter flag and canle on the perimeter right now pull it into Cooper flag locked by Dongo good play good defensive play mustaf barreling his way in illegally put your head down and go you can't do that he's a freshman too third foul on mustaf is there a right way to coach somebody to to drive into a Defender well you get you have to have an angle and you can go but once you're going straight at him there's no right way just can't do it three on moop 6 and a half on Tech tough finish by a proctor he's got 10 four out of Dukes five starters and double figures they just have too many weapons and I I give Georgia took a lot of credit the way they fought in the first half and got back in it but too many weapons here we go travel against George will turn it over eighth of the game by Georgia Tech it's a great game for Duke you get on the road and you're playing in front of a tough crowd and you just keep them quiet you play good and you get everybody in the game everybody gets an opportunity balance has been a staple Dodge teams more so than never here in his third year by the way it's his 400th game on staff today John Shire and Duke with him on staff obviously under Mike sheski for most of those years 308 and 91 they're going to be 309 it looks like and Kaman malawat has been a big big factor well he's he's just a good player he's he's got good instincts for the game he's got good hands and he's got Good Feet he moves he's and you know what he's big sometimes they list guys at 72 and they're seven he's 72 I think I don't think they're cheating on his size he he has a standing reach of 98 which doesn't sound like it should be physically possible well I remember playing against Patrick and Matumbo and M morning they had the same thing it wasn't fun drive by Proctor malawat and a foul may have been before he went up how many 72 guys did you coach legit 72 that's probably not most guys are 611 even the SF Footers are 611 but some guys they're 611 play 72 you know they're longer and quicker you know you don't get too many 72 guys started playing at age 13 malawat join the NB Academy Africa in 2021 actually played in the Olympics this summer with South Sudan well the future is coming from Africa 20 years from now the majority of big guys in the NBA will probably be from Africa just scratching the surface over there right now there's an open shot they don't get many of those Daven McCollum hits it he was so surprised he was open that he may he almost didn't shoot it Duke just doesn't give him much they just don't give him any shots geia Tech 39% from the field they actually shot it better than that from Three 6 for 14 flag slips somehow kept his dribble alive yeah I'm not sure how he did that shoot it and to the shot [Applause] clock kle fighting hard he'll be called for a foul that's the seventh on Duke flag is going down a couple times he gets a little bit sideways and kind of gets off balance and stuff he's look he's he'll get better at I mean sometimes we think that these guys are there he's a long ways from there he's really talented he's really good but he's going to get a lot better he works hard he understands the game and he he's got all the skills balling passing skills you need and he's got a good shooting stroke uh it's just it's going to be fun to see a guy like him as he develops very few guys now in college can go right to the and make a big impact it's hard to do those guys people don't sometimes realize how good those guys are Cooper Flags a guy they might have a chance to go in there and do something right away sometimes people forget like Kobe Bryant took a year or so you know most guys take a year or to to get going very few exceptions LeBron you know might be the exception a couple guys but this kid is he just does so many things even if he doesn't shoot well he can help a team and he defends Chris Carell's Duke's associate head coach said he could score six points and be the best player on the floor oh 100% 100% nice drive by kiple give him 18 yeah keep flag scoring is a bonus in for him he he does so many things to help your team switch is on everything he can help on everything he can block a shot really good passer I know comparison can be the thief of Joy but but are there players he reminds you of that versatility I mean he does so I mean he does so many things uh you know I mean not that he's better than a lot of guys he just does more things in college I mean how many I Michael Jordan's a great player Kevin Durant they didn't block shots I mean they didn't do some of the ball handling things they were primarily scores in college this guy is a pass a rebound comes across block shots I mean he just does a lot of stuff that we don't see we just don't see it Evans three so people what they'll take out of this game the aggregators will say Jim beheim says Cooper flag better than Michael Jordan and Kevin dur College not really he does more things is what we said oh don't worry somebody will oh yeah absolutely 100% under Ford timeout it's been a terrific day yeah that's that's I want to wear the auto wants one game with Duke and him Coach K wear the Duke bu devil but I don't think he would I never really asked him I don't think he would have you want you wanted to be just as Auto during the game no no before the game before they G and you wanted yeah Mike to come out as the Blue Devil the Blue Devil I never asked him I don't think he probably probably would I'm guessing I'm guessing he wouldn't maybe he's sitting in homeone I can't believe I just found out about this now I totally would have done that I'd be very upset if he is cuz I really wanted to do that you should have you should have pushed it harder I know I we're friends for a reason I don't ask him to do things have you worn the auto costume ever not just before yes I did you were Auto I did once I forgot it was a while ago but I did I I am not ashamed of it I wore it and you you don't know what the occasion was no I don't remember it was a picture thing or surprise thing something I love uto nobody can talk bad about OT I love UT love OT greatest orange circular mascot all of sports ever and a fruit and of course one of the great fruit mascots along with the uh I don't know banana slug of UC Santa Cruz half half fruit yeah that's G's gonna run out of time shot that's tough P curious so uh I know you didn't ask John shy to wear the blue devil but did you see John Shire as a player did you try to recruit him no he we didn't recruit that much I tried to recruit Mark aguire and after that I said we're not getting a guy for money here so that was it was it that was it foric and he made a half shot against us too and had 30 on us so yeah John was a really good player good shooter smart [Applause] player Elite Brown for three come on hit it it's not his strength but he's he can make that shot he's now one for six on the year hit the one against Kansas luk has emptied the bench a little bit here Patrick gunga's on the floor Darren Harris who by the way are both five-star freshmen who are basically relegated to to garbage time as deep as his team is yeah there's Georgia Tech's not going to even get an easy shot now that's that's the that's the problem Georgia Tech shooting at 37.7% number one field goal defense in
the ACC number three in the country Duke [Applause] better days ahead for Georgia Tech his team still not holy without Luke O'Brien they without kaasi Reeves today Gan onu freshman is out personal reasons yeah he's got to get everybody back and you can't go by these games when you play a team like Duke you just can't you have to just forget this game get ready for the next game it's not going to be like this D STM who was obviously a phenomenal college player at Arizona long NBA career and is in his second year as a Georgia Tech head coach did you ever coach against damid no we um played Arizona yeah I think we did I think I did Coach against him I think we beat him I don't know how but I think we did not many did his time there mustaf Dongo second half his first basket by Dongo he beat Arizona home and then next year we beat him in Arizona I think he was there for one of those years but they were good it was one of our better ever Road victories he uh ended his career second all-time leading score at Arizona by the time he left school Brown thinking about another one he was a really good player I think he's a very good coach too I mean this you know he he gets his players to play hard he understands what they're doing I've watched him coach in practice he's going a very good basketball coach and and as is John charotte you know when you get to this level of coaching you probably got a good idea of what you're doing it's not like there's bad a lot of bad coaches out there there's a lot of good coaches out there free throw good for Evans Cameron Sheffield has come in for Duke STM was at Pacific for 5 years which is not a job where you typically win a lot and his last full year they were went 23 and 10 yeah yeah he did a good job there went to the Celtics as an assistant for a couple of years after that near to it Georgia Tech they have another great Freshman Class coming in they have some really high level recruits the next couple of years hoping they can build something been a good little run for Georgia Tech Athletics a football team had a nice year beat Miami going to the Birmingham Bowl women's team is 12-0 they play at 5:30 today against Nebraska hoping the men's team can move up after for ACC game number two but this one's going to belong to Duke as most of them will conference for them it's going to be very hard to beat this Duke team I mean the league is down as we've talked about but a three for Isaiah Evans 10 most programs in the country would give anything to have a guy like that he might not play much if at all here that's the challenge you when you go to do if you're not one of the can be really good and not play a lot it's just the way it it works still active defensively Evans getting the tip It's s GBA messes with that shot Duke can dribble it out a 56% shooting number for Duke today their second ACC game a blowout a building where they lost last year and they were never close to it today most of the people standing our Duke people by the way it was a
