RE: Toledo vs. Ohio game thread
I got to the game real early and watched the shoot around before the game. Gordon was hitting most of his 3 pointers. Last year when he went into games that mattered, he actually did very well. Some guys play better in games than they do in practice. Now that Coach K is really only using 8 guys (Alderson is essentially out of the rotation) it would be great if Gordon and Hill actually got some meaningful minutes. At this stage of the season the main guys are a bit banged up and tired. Guys like Gordon and Hill could give 5 quality minutes per game. Maybe full court press at times to get opponents out of their rhythm. This is where we get outcoached. Coach K is too predictable. Opposing coaches know just what to expect and get their guys ready for the usual UT game plan and rotation.

Coach K has been at Duke since 1980. Coaches know pretty much what he's going to do.Very predictable.
