MBB: Duke 79, Miami 76 Post-Game Thread

[pfrduke]

Welcome back Ryan. And thank you.

[FerryFor50]

Phew. Glad THAT'S over.

[follyblue]

LOL. I don't know what to say about that other than welcome back Ryan.

[CDu]

Whew! That almost sucked. Thank goodness we had just enough.

Any question who the player of the game was?

[TKG]

LUCKY. LUCKY. LUCKY. But I'll take it.

[ice-9]

Ryan Kelly!!

That's all.

OK, so that's not at all, but what more can be said about one of the best individual performances ever seen in Cameron?

The White Raven aside, we made adjustments in the second half on defense and that translated to a much better game until the last two minutes. We looked pretty good from the second half up to that point.

And then of course we did our best to lose, but thankfully we pulled it out.

After the last Miami game I remember thinking we couldn't blame the loss solely on not having Ryan, because its not like he would have single-handedly accounted for a 27-point differential. Boy was I wrong!

I'm only disappointed that the Crazies didn't rush the court.

[1 24 90]

Apparently Ryan is worth at least 27 points. WOW

and why am I so emotional right now? tears of happiness I guess

[Chris Randolph]

Wow. I gotta give Miami some credit, they are the real deal. Great win for Duke. Huge plays by Sheed in the final minutes, hopes that boost his confidence again. Gotta get better and be peaking in 2 weeks! Congrats

[Furniture]

Lucky? I just don't get that. Great win by the boys!

[Dukeface88]

I think this proves that Ryan's "injury" was actually just a cover story for his training under twelve bastketball masters at a monestary in Nepal (see also, Kyrie Irving's toe).

Impressive work by Pratt on the animotronic double.

[CLW]

The WHITE RAVEN is back!

[pfrduke]

That was a really fun game. Not the prettiest execution in the last 2 minutes, but a really fun game.

[slower]

I'm only disappointed that the Crazies didn't rush the court.

I wished they had rushed Broke Warren Sapp.

[CDu]

Lucky? I just don't get that. Great win by the boys!

A bit lucky at the end (when we tried to give it away). But we earned the cushion that we had built - that was certainly not luck.

Big, big win. So happy. We needed this for our confidence. Now let's just close it out against VT and UNC and try to lock up that #1 seed in the tourney.

Lucky? I just don't get that. Great win by the boys!

Lucky in the sense that when you have a 9 point lead or whatever with 1:30 left and somehow the other team has the ball with a chance to tie or take the lead. That is a pretty epic collapse.

But for the other 58:30, they played a solid game.

[Les Grossman]

That was a legendary performance by Ryan Kelly

[wtm001]

4-0 against top 5 teams

[ForkFondler]

Ryan is key, no doubt. Need a few more games to get in synch, but to hell with parity.
