FRIDAY BROWNELL INTERVIEW, MITCHELL UPDATE

CUTrevor 2018-02-16 14:28:06


Just raced over to Doug Kingsmore from Littlejohn. I'll have the Brownell video posted shortly. He said he hadn't talked to the doctor yet today about Mitchell but did not sound hopeful that he will play on Sunday. Obviously another huge blow--especially on the offensive side, losing the starting point guard. Duke will also probably be without freshman phenom Marvin Bagley, but I would say it's a bigger loss for the Tigers. Duke still has a great big with their other freshman Carter, and they rolled over a good VT team the other night without Bagley. Grayson Allen has been playing his best basketball of the season the last couple games.

We are toast if Mitchell doesn't play. I think Brownell is the unluckiest coach on the planet.
