I like the headline at Duke.edu "Blue Devils Weather the Hurricanes" . For awhile in the first half, I thought Duke was going to blow the Canes away. The Dukies were ahead 30-18, but the Miami team went on a run and ended the first half leading Duke 33-30. Unbelievable! The refs had a little trouble calling fouls consistently in the first half, so much so that Coach K said something that they did not want to hear, and was called for a technical foul. Right after that Coach K took his jacket off and the Miami coach followed suit.
Fortunately, Coach K inspired his team to come back at the beginning of the second half and play Duke basketball. I would love to have been a fly on the wall at half-time. :) They were able to maintain a 7-10 point lead much of the second half, with Miami scoring their final points with 2 seconds left. The final score was 77-74. The Dukies will play in the ACC tournament championship game tomorrow at 1:00 pm. They will face a very good Georgia Tech team as the Yellow Jackets defeated North Carolina State this afternoon 57-54.
