WBB: Duke 76, Miami 75 (skin of our teeth!)

[burnspbesq]

Crazy first half. Miami couldn't miss anything. They had a nice working margin until Duke went on an 8-0 run to close the margin to three at halftime.

Tricia is on the way to a monster night. At halftime: 8-10 from the floor and 5-6 from the line for 21 points.

Poor guys!

Duke hurt itself with turnovers as well. Jones and Liston combined for 10 turnovers themselves. Jones with 6 and Tricia with 4. But they showed determination by coming from behind to come away with a hard fought victory. GoDuke!
