DUKE LOSES 81-73

Michigain played a great game. The back cuts/screens really hurt Duke...and Duke falling in love with the three did them in.

Coach Beilein is going to have Michigain buzzing again soon.

As a Duke fan I really have to give Michigan credit for the way it played today. John Beilein has to be one of the most underrated coaches in the nation. It was so frustrating to watch Duke settle for so many 3's today instead of driving to the basket like it did the first time it played Michigan. Nolan Smith made some really questionable decisions with the basketball and it hurts me to say this, but I almost think Duke would have been better off with Paulus at the point today against a hungry team in a hostile environment.

Being #4 is a curse when playing Michigan

a reason for me to watch college ball again. its been an agonizing good handful of years as a michigan fan. you guys pay more attention. do you think michigan will be a ranked team this year?

They have already received votes in this week's polls, so it's possible they'll be in the top 25 on Monday. Not likely, possible. 33rd right now in the AP, 39 in coaches.

They are one solid big man away from being title contenders, IMO.

Welcome to blue devil basketball for the last few years. When they're hot from outside, they're tough to beat....when they're cold, they look pitiful.

They have the athletes to slash to the basket more than they do. I don't know why Henderson seems to be digressing, but if he would get it in his head to take it to the hole strong, I don't think there are many teams that could stop him.

That's what opposing fans have been saying for years. Personally, I hope they don't figure that out, because if they did, they'd be a legit top 5 team.
