I feel like one of the few people who are not overjoyed by Duke losing last night. Being the only upset of the first round makes it even worse. But these are not your older brothers Dukies.
When was the last time that Duke did not have a reliable player to set a play for during crunch time? Last night was one of those nights you wished Jason Williamswas there to step out of the huddle (in place of McRoberts) during the last minute. Speaking of which, has Duke ever had a "leader" who couldn't take over the game? Last year at this time the talk was whether McRoberts would be a lottery pick. At this point he may be catching passes from Khalid El-Amin in the Israeli league by next summer. It's not to late to transfer out Josh.
By the way Josh, do you think you might have stepped up and contested the last shot? When a player curls like that and the defender is trailing its your job to step in and help, and stop the ball. They teach this in H.S. Hoops. I am sure Coach K has taught you this as well.
Next season's team should be better if only because of being a year older. But whose team is it? Paulus? Scheyer?
Hopefully when MSU beats UNC next round a little bit of the sting will go away.
It's now baseball season.
