Ol' Roy after the Carolina-Louisville game Saturday, in which the Heels shot 34% (13% from 3):
“If you think you can only win when you shoot the ball then you’re not very tough,” Williams said. “That ticks me off. You’ve got to be able to win basketball games ugly. We’ve won hundreds of basketball games ugly instead of just acting like a pansy and think ‘Oh my shot’s not going in.’ If that’s the case, go find your momma and hug her.”
Dammit, pilon, come get your boy.
But really, going to have to file this one away as a moral victory (counts the same as a loss). To play the game without Reddish and the last 34 minutes without Tre Jones... Duke just obviously wasn't the same team defensively without him on the floor. And the offense wasn't all that good, either.
Jack White (0-for-10) became the third Division I player this season to shoot at least 10 3s and not make a single one. White is also the first player to go 0-10 or worse from the field, finish without a point, and foul out, since West Virginia's Kevin Pittsnogle in 2006 against Pittsburgh.

I shouldn't have laughed when I saw that happen in the game, but I did. Get out of the way of you want to live.

Literally lifted off his feet 🙈
RJ needs to get with the program. Zion is so much better than him and he needs to learn how to play as a second banana
That 4 for 17 from 3 means that.... checking my math... Barrett is 4 times the player James Harden is.
By blackace Go To Postwho?
Best on-ball defender in the country (according to experts, what do I know, but he did have 4 steals in 6 minutes tonight), 6 to 1 assist to turnover ratio. Not all that better of a shooter than Trevon Duval of last year's team so far, but he does everything else so much better. With him, they're a contender to win the title. Without him? Guh.
Though I guess I should be fair enough to wait for them to play at least one game where they know in advance he's out.
Who knows, maybe this isn't the most severe separation and he's back in a few days or weeks. Worst case is he can be out for the season.
By HasphatsAnts Go To PostI’ll believe it when I see it. This smells like Kyrie’s toe 2.0
Do not speak those evil words.
Nor will we speak about how Scottie Pippen wants Zion Williamson to shut it down.
If we’re talking about a business decision no, but part of why Zion is special is because he would never voluntarily not play basketball when there’s basketball to be played
Good news on the Duke front. Tre Jones has been upgraded to probable for tomorrow's game.
The long national nightmare may be over.
