Default Duke's Run is over!

What a great game. Got to tune in 5 mins. into the 2nd half. Very upsetting as I know the passion that Duke had to go all the way. I have never seen a team that has been so feared as Duke. Sports Illustrated ran a series of article first of the season stating, " Who can beat Duke....". I guess LSU answered that question last night.

What is the feedback from the game? I know we must have some Duke fans on the board. Who has the strength now to go all the way?

No the question was answered back during regular play when, Gerogetown beat them, then following up with loses to FSU, UNC, and now LSU!! I hated to see Duke go down like this, but I saw it coming all the way back at the end of the season. They were playing like crap on a consistent basis. When I saw that nearly everyone had the, winning the NCAA or at leat making to the final game I new there were going to be a lot of broken hearts. Thank god I didn't pick them to go to the end, which has just won me 150 bucks through our office pool. Now what to buy with the $$$........CAI, Testpipe, VAFC,...hmmmmm

I copied this from my post on another board

"See even God is a DUKE fan, thats why we are having crappy weather!



I can't say anything bad about LSU, they played great and their Defense did its job, even though it wasn't Dukes best performance. Can anyone tell me why the hell would Paulis and JJ would try taking the ball in over and over and getting rejected everytime??? Seriously, these guys were 2 times their size and they still wouldn't learn, they deserved what they got.

But at least Duke has its ACC title (1more then Carolina) and Duke lost to a Division 1 team and not a CCA team......I'll take what I can get.


Yes...I'm bitter!"

Seriously - they failed to adapt and that cost them the game. How many times do you need to get stuffed to figure out you can't drive on those guys?

So much for the ACC this year.

You cant win a championship with one player. I think Duke will be going thru a slight downtrend while they rebuild things a bit. But as long as UNC is a few miles down the road both teams will always prosper.

Last I heard they were favoring Florida to be the strongest. But personally I think it is anyone game. Cinderella story is right!
