We knew it was bound to happen sooner or later. Duke lost to a very good team on Saturday. Georgetown basically had Duke's offense figured out, they practically stopped Shelden Williams. They could stop JJ Redick, but even with a season high of 41 points, as Coach K would say later, the other players on the team can not just sit back and let everyone watch JJ play. Give credit to Georgetown, they played very well and after leading the Blue Devils by 16 points in the second half, they deserved to win. Duke pulled within 2 points, but lost the ball with 5 seconds to go. The ESPN poll came out Monday and Duke only dropped to the number 2 spot. I am happy with that! The Florida Gators, by the way, also lost their first game of the season and dropped from number 2 to number 4 in the same poll. The next month is going to be a fun one, with every team "getting up" for Duke, and each game becomes a tournament atmosphere. And that is fun basketball to watch, even if your team loses. Just a prelude to MARCH MADNESS!! Duke's record is now 17-1
Yep, we are Duke fans at our house! I did not know you were into Duke basketball too! Do you get to see many Duke games on TV? The next one is this Thursday night. Brandon even bought tickets to see Duke play in person last year. Coach K is the best coach in college ball today.
