    amazing what carolina did when they decided to play defense...

    we had a monster half on the offensive side in the second half...46 points...that's huge

    but we gave up 48 and 40....same story as all year...defense, and rebounding

    Think the second half defense was a lot better - in the first half UNC was getting the shots they wanted and hitting them; in the second half they were getting shots they didn't want and hitting them. Not much to be done about that except not getting into a 26-point hole to start with.

    Knew something like this was on the way in CIS with last years comeback and the slaughter the year before. Hopefully we continue our good road play into the ACC and NCAA tourneys. Still, 26-5 in the regular season, 13-3 ACC, thats better than I thought we'd do back in November.

    In closing....at least we didn't loose by 32.

    To paraphrase Herm Edwards "To win the game, you must make shots".

    In the first half, we simply just missed a ton of wide open shots. Despite what Dickie V was saying...this was two evenly matched teams (both good at offense, both not so good at defense). They had John Henson hitting 17 foot jumpers...we had missed layups. Sigh.

    The Dukies will come back from this.

    Actually, Duke is great at offense and bad at defense. UNC is very good on offense and very good on defense. Our great offense could not bail out our bad defense tonight.

    NIGHTMARE 1st half was too much to overcome.

    Off shooting night (variance) and -20 on the boards.

    We simply have to figure out a way for our shooting to not affect the performance on the other end. It seems if we are off shooting our Defensive intensity/focus/effort/etc... all takes a hit as well.

    I disagree about its affect on our defense. We had a monster second half on offense...and still gave up 40 points despite the fact that they were playing stall from 10 minutes out. They're just a really friggin good team, and once we couldn't hit a shot, we couldn't stop them consistently enough to come back

    I'm not saying we are a "good" defensive team when we hit shots (clearly we are not). However, we are a really bad defensive team when we do not hit shots and just an average defense when we do. I think K has said several times this year that our offense affects our D.

    What the hell does that mean?

    Doug Gottlieb: "Duke is not as good as their record is." Huh?!?!?!? We played the 4th best schedule of the year and were No 2 in the RPI, and we're not as good as our record?

    I buy that UNC is better than their record (when they decide to play), but I don't get that comment at all.

    Having a difficult schedule does not mean that one can not be as good as their record.

    But when you beat most of the good teams on that schedule (6-3 against the top 25), I'd argue that you are.

    We beat three of the 5 other potential No 1 seeds on that list of 6 on the graphic during the game.

    I'm pretty sure that when you score more points than the other team, you have every right to win the game -- I don't recall there being a bylaw in the NCAA that discounts games in which a team was losing before the final buzzer.

    Nobodies saying the wins don't count...I was simply providing a justification for Mr. Gottleibs statement.

    Its not always about just winning...its often about how you win....

    Not that I'm equating our team this year to the 2001 squad, but I seem to remember that they "had no business" beating Maryland in College Park and lost a home-season closer to them later in the year. That team had no questions about how they won, and they had a 33-point turnaround in the Final Four.

    Why would you want to justify anything that idiot says. GoDuke!

    The Plumlees should gain some confidence out of their second half performance, hopefully they can apply it if we do get to play UNC again. Foul trouble really hurt them but they held their own against UNC's vaunted front line. Would have liked to have played both Plumlees together more, as that would have put a lot of pressure on them inside, but we just couldn't because of fouls.

    What's with all the crazy charge calls? I've never seen anything like that. I think it wound up about even for each team, but I thought almost all of them were blocking fouls.

    We made way, way too many mistakes to have a shot at this one. Missed shots, missed layups, missed free throws, missed rebounds... if we play a near-perfect game we can beat them but it wasn't happening tonight.

    It's not all bad. Our "record by halves" in that game was 1-1.
