LOL! Good lookin out bro. I made it out alive, dont worry about me
The game was amazing. I couldnt believe the ass whooping we laid on them in the 2nd half as the 1st half seemingly demonstrated how dangerous Duke can be. It wasnt just Singler, but they were playing good team basketball. In all honesty, we should have been down by much more going into halftime, except D Will was in Beast Mode and hit a three at the end to steal some of their mojo.
In the 2nd half, we just decided to play the best basketball of the season. You could tell the 19-2 run just sucked the life out of Duke and in a sense, they just watched in awe as we were hitting jumpers, owning the paint and creating turnovers. All of this despite the fact that the officials tried so hard to give the game back to Duke. It was complete garbage watching D. Will get hacked by three players under the basket, yet when we brushed up against Singler, it was a call and one. I also didnt know that Duke was given an extra couple of inches of the court to step on with the ball. I think I saw two out of bounds calls missed when they clearly stepped on the line. We could have beat them by 20+ easily with unbiased officiating. But that's what you have to understand when playing Duke. Historically, they have been the beneficiaries of calls, just gotta accept it and move on.
This game was a perfect example that if players like Hill, Momo, Fogg, etc. get hot along with D. Will's dominate force inside and out, we are one of the toughest teams to beat.
UCONN will be a tough out. Kemba is just insane. The key is to let him get his points and shut down the other guys. Lamb is their only other threat IMO. They are more vulnerable than Duke was. I do like our chances, but this is going to be intense. The Momo (Harlem) v. Walker (Bronx) match up will be interesting.
BTW. I watched this game at a bar in Santa Monica, which was dedicated to the Wisconsin Badgers. Wasnt my choice. Of course, Wisconsin was playing the same time as us so the place was flooded w/ Badger fans. Quite annoying.
