Duke held on and beat a feisty team from Belmont with the final score being 71-70. Belmont challenged Duke throughout the entire game never giving an inch to Duke. To make things worse for Duke Coach K was battling the flu on the sidelines yet he kept on coaching this team to it’s first win for 2008 NCAA Tournament. Now Duke is on to the second round.
Georgia ontop of Xavier by 3 with 2 minutes left in the first.
update…Georgia by 9 after a alley oop dunk on the break with .47 left in the 1st!!!
Got this email from Brandan who apparently markets for NIKE. Not sure how much weight this carries but maybe we’ll see if its true? Anyone know what shoes they wear now?
When the Blue Devils step on the court tonight for its opening game of the NCAA Tournament, the squad will sport a new look. Tonight, the Blue Devils will be donning Kobe Bryant’s signature Nike sneaker - the Zoom Kobe III. The special edition kicks were designed specifically for Duke as a call out to Kobe’s admiration for Coach Mike Krzyzewski who will spend this summer coaching Kobe and the rest of the USA Basketball squad at the Olympic Games in Beijing. If you are interested, I’d be happy to send you a picture of the shoe to share with your readers. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best, Brandan for Nike
