Just an incredible game tonight between Syracuse and Duke.  It was a tough loss, but what a ride.  By the way, much respect to the Syracuse fans: they applauded the Duke players as they were walking out the tunnel.  Sincerely, too.

 

Duke, unfortunately, got a taste of their own medicine tonight.  Check out the numbers on total free throws attempted by each team and total fouls.  Duke had no bigs remaining in the final minutes and still fought to the last second.  If there's such a thing as a good loss, they don't get much better than this one tonight.

Unbelievable game, but two phantom calls to foul out Jefferson and Parker thanks to 2 Oscar-caliber performances from Christmas and the atrocious missed call on the Hood dunk ruined it for me. Very frustrating. Great performance from Syracuse, fouling out our starting 2 bigs made offense for Syracuse easy down the stretch. Not a big deal though, in my opinion, we are the better team when we have everyone on the court, and I think we proved that tonight. This Duke team has got some fight and really played all out tonight. Loved the effort from everyone. No one should hang their head over this loss. Looking forward to getting revenge back home.

The missed foul call on the attempted monster jam from Hood was quite bad, I'll agree.  However, it doesn't ruin the whole game for me.  I know my team has gotten away with things in the past that pisses off other fan bases.  It just wasn't Duke's night to get the breaks.

I fully understand, Iso.  My sentiments exactly with regards to UNC.  Do they actually still have a men's basketball team, by the way?  I heard they were taking the year off...

I heard they may have won this afternoon... unlike Puke. :) Chapel Hill was festive this eve, Durham... naso much.

btw, we ate dinner near the duke west campus this evening. too many folks in Hippy Hill.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they did win.  But that was nothing more than a scrimmage, right?  An exhibition of sorts?  It was nothing more than a glorified blue/white game:  UNC was guaranteed to win no matter what and the other team just happened to be wearing red.

 

(Sorry, State fans, I really do like your school just fine.)

A word to the wise.  If this trolling lasts for more than 4 hours, you both will need emergency help.

You're not seriously saying UNC has thugs are you? Great young men on that team... far from thugs.
