Great write up. Felt like I was rewatching the game while reading it.
Duke officially has a big 3- Moore, Paolo and Mark. Eventually AJ will come along and be that super sixth man we’ve been waiting for. Despite both guys shooting poorly on Friday, I was extremely impressed with the fight of Keels and Jeremy. This team fights like hell. It’s fun to support guys that are fighters even when things aren’t falling for them.
Can’t forget to mention Theo’s two critical buckets over Timme in the second half. The zags could have pulled away during that stretch. Those two buckets were in a way, similar to those two late 3s that Andre Dawkins hit in the first half of the elite 8 game in 2010. Obviously not the same stage but those buckets kept us in it in a huge huge game.

I really enjoy the post game write ups! Great stuff.
Some things going forward…
- Duke’s FT shooting. Needs to get better. If Duke would have shot 70% as a team, this game would have be much more in hand.
- Although Joey hit those 2 3s, he just hasn’t stepped up… yet or if he will. AJ? Enough said.
