A Sea Of Red

Is Miami trying to lose the game? They've had the lead the entire second half yet they keep pushing the ball and taking dumb shots. They were up 20 about 10 minutes ago and now Duke cuts it to 7 with 3:15 left. I just don't get it. They're shooting the ball with 20+ left on the shot clock almost every freaking possession!

Miami pulled it off...barely. 96-95. WAYYYYY closer than it should have been.

As a Duke fan let me just say I've seen it all now. After back to back road losses Coach K really needs to write a book entitled '10 ways to lose a basketball game.' At least the MLB season starts soon.

I still believe Duke has a team that can do well in the NCAA Tourny

Thanks Duke... Cost me a lot of money...

Duke lost to Miami who lost to Winthrop who lost to UNCA who lost to Liberty who lost to Radford who lost to Presby.

Presby > Duke

it's late in the season and the breakdown begins!!

It was the Pod People.

"Our team -- there's something missing this week," coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "We are not the same team these last two ballgames. It's almost like someone has come in and invaded their bodies."

When you shoot 15 for 37 from 3 on the road and you get beat to just about every loose ball and rebound you're probably going to lose. Just ask Duke.

15/37 is ridiculous. i'll admit... they are a shooting team, but why not hit thomas a time or two more in the post. thomas is not all that strong, so it's going to be tough for him to get rebound position, HOWEVER, he can make a post move. zoub on the other hand... eh, no comment.

15/37 is 40% that's not ridiculous. You would have to go 23/37 from 2 which is 62% to score the same amount of points.

This is the exact thing that all of us Carolina fans hope K never figures out. He hasn't used his bigs correctly since the Brand & Boozer days. If he would do that now, they'd be a Final Four team, without question.
