February 12, 200917 yr They can PLAY on that level......that's all I need to see at this point. As much as I hate to agree, I believe they showed this!
February 12, 200917 yr Tonight showed that UNC is the best team in the land IMO and that, if Duke is cold from beyond the arc, they are not a top 10 team.
February 12, 200917 yr They have before, against lesser teams....They really only have to do it against UConn and UNC, IMO.....there aren't two other teams in the country, that Duke would have to be lights out against for 40 minutes. I don't see Duke matching up well with U of L either.. JMO.. However, if they stay on for 40 minutes anything is possible.
February 12, 200917 yr A lot of teams CAN play at that level. UNC took Duke's best shot in the first half and came out and DOMINATED Duke on the road in the second half. I think this game (and the last few) proved that Duke doesn't have enough to win it this year. I am fine with them not having enough to win it this year, I have thought their best shot maybe next season, however, Duke is darned good, and represented well tonight....a lot of things went bad in the second half. This game was 75-71, when Duke went stone cold....I'll take it.

Louisville can be a matchup issue for Duke, but after watching them time and time again, they are horrible on offense, and they would have to score to beat Duke. It could be done, not sure it would be now.
February 12, 200917 yr Duke spent a lot of energy coming back from down ten early to take the lead. It wore on them in the second half.
February 12, 200917 yr Duke has lost 3 of their last 5 games... Doesn't bother me one bit.....Duke has played about how I expected them to this year, they have some good wins, and a bad loss to a good team.

This game was 75-71, when Duke went stone cold....I'll take it. A Top 5 Duke team (recently ranked #1) losing at home by 14 after being up by 8 at half and you'll take it? I just don't see the moral victory in this loss.
February 12, 200917 yr A Top 5 Duke team (recently ranked #1) losing at home by 14 after being up by 8 at half and you'll take it? I just don't see the moral victory in this loss. No real moral victory....UNC is the best team in the land....Duke went stone cold. I saw most of what I wanted to see tonight. I obviously follow Duke very, very close, and I realize when their success is more smoke and mirrors than substance. This Duke team is good, and they can play great. That's really all I can ask. Like I said, I'll take it. I never thought they were the best team in the land. But they can play with them.
February 12, 200917 yr Duke was very close to losing 3 games in a row. UNC just took their best shot and still win handily.
February 12, 200917 yr How was that elbow not intentional. He had to strain himself reaching back that far in order to land it. IMO Singler should have been ejected. His foul was similiar to Hodge's against UK. Both fouls were dead ball Technicals.

February 12, 200917 yr I will talk about this one for another 12 minutes.....I am done after that, it's on to a tough one at BC.
