Duke Post game thoughts

[rocky rococo]

For the overall annoyance of our Duke guests, IMO the worst defeat I've ever seen the Huskies suffer was at the hands of Duke's beloved in-state rivals, the Tar Heels. In the game that introduced me to the concept "Ivory Latta", it was a blowout early, and the Huskies were never even able to be competitive in our own house. I think it's the only time I've seen the Huskies look hapless.

Five words for TonyC: "Jessica Foley at the buzzer!" Still stings.


Duke's Last Second Basket Breaks Huskies Streak

I was at that game in Htfd - mid court about the 10-12th row, and she was right between my seat and the hoop. She was falling away as I recall and I could see that ball was going in the second it left her hands. As I recall - we were up 6-8 pts late and duke pressed and we turned it over 3-4 times in a row w out getting fouled. Even DT was rattled late in that press!

It's my all-time worst game. I know there was much more on the line in the 2001 semi-final
loss to Notre Dame, but that Duke loss was one of the few (only?) games where I had to
watch UConn panic and choke. Agonizing to watch.

We did panic and choke. Blew a good lead late with a lot of turnovers if I recall. Kept getting trapped on in bounds. We had that game and couldn't get to the foul line to win it at the end.
