    3PM game is #6 NCSU and #1 Duke.

    -------------

    For Duke, they have trailed the whole game so far. With 9:55 to go in the first half they are down 17-14. Three fouls for each team. Now 19-17 State at 8:56, with State picking up 2 more fouls (now 5-3).

    With 5 minutes to go in the first half, Duke is trailing State by 3, 29-26. I wish I weren't stuck at work!

    Coach P mentioned Liston's foul trouble and said our defense must improve in the second half. I saw very little, took a long time to get ESPN3 working.

    14:19 to go in the second half.

    Score is tied 44-44.

    Too many T/O's and missed FT's by Duke.

    State has converted several fastbreak buckets, even on our made FT's...

    State up by 2.
    Liston misses scoop shot with 30 sec.
    State misses 2 FT's. Duke down 2 with 15 sec - t/o.
    Gray fouled, missed front of 1-and-1 with 2 sec left.

    State wins 75-73.

    Good effort at late comeback, as we were down 8 with under three to play. But e'Wil fouling out with just over 2 min left on a marginal call didn't help. (In fact, nobody's gonna claim "Duke gets the calls" after this one! 2nd half foul count: 12 for Duke and 7 for State.) Ugh!

    Now wait for the NCAAT. Hope for a #2 seed.

    This is the first time in ACCT history a 9 has beaten a 1.


    Gray 25 pts, 7 reb
    Liston 14 pts
    Williams 12 pts, 7 reb, 5 fouls
    Selby 10 pts

    Team Rebs: 40 vs 40

    Duke t/o: 22 (vs 15 for State)
    Steals: 8 (vs 12 for State)

    Shooting:
    Duke 29-61 (47%)
    3's: 6 - 15 (40%)
    FT's: 9-19 (47%)

    This was a total inexcusable failure on all levels.

    No excuse for this. We beat State like a drum this year, and shocked them with an amazing comeback over there last year. It looked to me like we played afraid. Hopefully a good lesson for Elizabeth that tournament play is different. Maybe too much complacency after COY for P. Or maybe just fatigue after tall the injuries. I see a #3 seed, and no better than a Sweet 16 at this point.

    Sweet 16 would be a pretty impressive accomplishment at this point, after all the injuries. Easy to see this team getting ambushed playing a true road game in the second round.

    Clarification:

    Shooting:
    Duke 29-61 (47%) vs State 27-69 (39%)
    3's: 6 - 15 (40%) vs State 5-18 (28%)
    FT's: 9-19 (47%) vs State 16-20 (80%)

    State played tough, and seemed to come up with more than their share of the loose, 50-50 balls. We had way too many turnovers. The defense wasn't as energetic as usual. And a few critical calls went their way.
    Terrible FT shooting by Duke.

    Next play.

    The reason they lost is 100% free throw shooting. You can't shoot <50% and expect to win a game, let alone deserve to.

    EW needs to learn to stay out of foul trouble better. It cost them a shot at Uconn last month, and certainly cost them here. Can't forget that she's a freshman with a huge burden. She will be a great player.

    That's quite wrong. Poor free throw shooting nights are a statistically inevitability. The key is never be close enough to a team that you should be beating by 20 points for one of the nights to lead to an embarrassing loss.

    I disagree. I will probably get some stats later, but I would guess that the standard deviation on free throw shooting is actually pretty small.

    Either way, that's a fair point...there are other things that need to improve. Turnovers stand out.

    Well, at least Mrs Harper is rather attractive.

    Yeah, if she can learn how to stop committing player control fouls while standing completely still, it could really help.

    I'm not saying she's at fault for committing the falls, she needs to figure out how to not get called for them. If it means learning how to play effective defense while doing something that doesn't look like the foul to a ref, then she need to learn it. I'll add Haley into that group too.

    The fouls cost them against uconn, and they cost them today. If the refs make bad calls all the time, one has to figure out how to act so the ref doesn't call it. It sort of the anti flop. One flops because one can get a call for a foul that wasn't there. You gotta figure out how to use body language, positioning, whatever to NOT get called for fouls that aren't there.
