What a great game! If you missed it last night, you missed an exciting one! Duke was able to hold off Indiana at the end and win 75-67. But the game was much closer than the score implies. When Indiana pulled within one point, I thought for a minute the Dukies might be losing their first one of the year. But they "held on" to win.

here is an excerpt from the AP article online...
Mike Krzyzewski needed J.J. Redick to do even more than usual.
With Shelden Williams and Josh McRoberts in foul trouble, Indiana's Marco Killingsworth dominating the middle and the game starting to slip away, Krzyzewski went to his toughest player and watched him dismantle Indiana's defense.
Redick scored 29 points, including six during a critical late stretch, as No. 1 Duke held off the Hoosiers (No. 16 ESPN/USA Today, No. 17 AP) 75-67 in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge on Wednesday night.
"The will to win, I mean that one drive he had for the three-point play that, whoosh! He just willed that sucker in," Krzyzewski said. "I'm glad he's on my bus or I'm on his bus or whatever."
