As much as it pains me to even make this post, I must move forward.
Here’s my take:
Although somewhat irrelevant, that was a pretty pathetic no call on Hansbrough on Scheyer late in the game. Sorry UNC readers, that was foul considering all the calls you guys got in the first half.
Enough of the crying. I’m sure I’ll get to whine a bit more on Monday at work.
Why we lost:
Duke has never shown the physical toughness on defense as long as I’ve been a fan. Thats over 26+ years. What am I talking about? Hell, even in my high school games you Never, and I mean Never let a team come into your house and dunk on you. The dunk by “whomever-it-was” over Paulus is exactly what I’m talking about. Who the hell lets someone dunk on them in such an important game? Duke, thats who. I was taught to go up hard and block the shot. If you fouled oh well, but hell at least made an attempt to stop someone from bullying you around in your gym. You at the very least sent the message that if try that shit again, you’re going down even harder. Duke’s never shown that to me. They don’t protect their turf or their own for that matter. Once I saw that dunk I knew it was over.
Where the hell was Henderson again? He’s my biggest let down on the Devil roster this year. Dribbling it into the hands of Lawson was pretty laughable.
Scheyer should be the sixth man of the year. He shows heart, skill, and tenacity 24/7 when he’s in the game.
Well here’s to looking forward to the tie breaker in the ACC Tourney.

Henderson was pathetic the entire game. He was highly touted when he signed the letter to play at Duke, but he has never shown anything that makes him a star player. Capping it off with that terrible airball was the ending. He is just not a player that this team can depend on.
The last non call in front of the Duke bench took the game and gave it to UNC.
UNC won this game in the first half and the Blue Devils just didn’t have enough to catchup in the second half.
Sorry to say if this is the same team that shows up for the NCAA’s then they are not going to going all that far. That is my take on watching them play tonight.
