This loss to Duke dropped the Yellow Jackets to 9-5 on the season and 1-1 in conference play.
Duke made 10 of its first 14 shots, with six of those 3-pointers. It’s weak. Krzyzewski either doesn’t understand, or doesn’t care about how the world outside his program views Allen.
Duke, like North Carolina, is an offensive juggernaut and averages 82.8 points on 47.7 percent shooting from the field.
Two decades ago, the Blue Devils fell apart under interim coach Pete Gaudet and lost 15 of those 19 games. Find something about ourselves, just like we do over the summers when he’s with the U.S. team and things like that, and when he comes back, we’re better.
Duke beat Georgia Tech 110-57 Wednesday night, Coach K’s last game until he returns from surgery. Shortly after our story went up, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski suspended Allen from the team indefinitely. After the game, Allen accepted responsibility for his tripping suspension, which lasted just one game over two weeks, telling reporters he’s glad to return to the Duke fold, according to ESPN’s C.L. Brown.
Krzyzewski spoke on the process that he took in coming to the game one-game suspension. “But we’ve had a lot of interruptions”.
“It’s not like we’ll just stop”, Jefferson said. Seventeen days later against Florida State, Allen lifted his left leg and tripped Xavier Rathan-Mayes as the Seminoles guard began to run up court, resulting in a public reprimand from the ACC but no suspension. Back surgery is no joke, although neither is a double knee replacement, and Krzyzewski still went straight from the NCAA tournament to the operating room to the Olympics last summer. He has even taken the reigns as the vocal leader for the Blue Devils. Allen’s last game was December 21 against Elon.
“The group is more like we wanted to do in October”, Coach K said, “but we’re doing it in January”.
“Coach would be the first to tell you, I think, he micromanaged a lot more during that time”, Collins said. During that time, it was really hard because he was Mr.
Meanwhile, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are trying to shock the world for the second game in a row. “I think it’s time to move on, and I think the new role he has will be a good one for him”.
Capel will make his 2017 debut as the acting head coach Saturday when Boston College visits. But Allen doesn’t just trip – he flops, undercuts and tackles – as. After that, he told the media that he didn’t know that he was going to play until the pre-game walkthrough, when Coach K told him that he’s back on the team. “I’ll watch film tonight for (Saturday’s opponent) BC and try to get our game plan going”, he admitted.
