He is sick, to be fair. But god, with that line up (and regardless of how the 2nd half goes) to be down by a point 17 minutes in, in this game, is quite crazy. No matter what happens in the second half, tons of kudos and love to North Dakota st, 31-27 at the half. Zero (sane) people outside of North dakota predicted that kind of first 20. The ND St coach was scared to death of this game, said so himself in so many words, so to play that way (AND with 10 straight missed threes and prolonged scoring drought) with talent not even in the same continent as duke is absolutely commendable. Duke should be up 20 even with all 5 starters having one hand glued to their side. and that is not even hyperbole. Still, I expect duke to roll in the final 20 and win by 25, doesn't take away from the special first half nd st. just had with drastically lower talent. Impressed with what I saw with them.
