Message: [QUOTE="Scrutineer, post: 5226969, member: 8240"] We had one common opponent and, while we beat St. Johns by four in regulation at MSG, Duke had to go to OT in MSG to beat them by four. Otherwise Duke only lost to Cincinnati while we lost two games. One at Syracuse while Voskuhl and Hamilton were out with injuries, while the other was an inexplicable loss at home to Miami. If I recall correctly we missed a lot of easy shots and layups in a game we should not have lost. Duke was the big favorite and I remember listening to ESPN experts the day of the semi-finals saying things like, "Duke's second team could probably win this year". I guess that's why it's not a coronation and why they play the games. [/QUOTE]
