Duke lost to West Virginia 73-67 in the second round of this year’s NCAA’s. The one thing that Duke needed the most hurt the team in advancing further in the tourney. Without a true post player Duke kept on getting manhandled in the paint. This weakness showed in their near loss to Belmont.
Team Captain DeMarcus Nelson was a no show for Duke this tournament he was a combined 3-17 shooting for the two games he also turned the ball over 6 times in the two games. Nelson may have been the captain, but he did not lead very well as you can all see by his numbers.
Coach K gave his all for this team, battling the flu yet still showing up to coach. Bravo Coach K! Next year we expect you to give just as much as you gave for these two games. We all love you!
Bless You Coach K.
