Interesting stat - only the starters scored. 0 bench points. Still won by 14.
I was very confident in my pregame comments that Coach K would ride the starters hard. Bench minutes:
Jefferson - 20
Plumlee - 8
Allen - 3
Bob Green

Those that feel the need as fans to criticize any individual player or effort can use this game as exhibit A as to why we should support every member of the team.
What a game! Win for Quinn!
I remember 05... And all of our turnovers. I expect to see a similar rotation to what we saw today. If Cook sticks to Trice like he stuck to Pangos we are money. Defense wins championships and we are playing great D. I'm impressed and so grateful that we didn't make this close at the end.
Four straight games holding the opponent to under 0.9 points per possession! Gonzaga posted their lowest offensive efficiency of the year against us, and Utah their 3rd lowest. We're starting to resemble the 2009 Tar Heels... epic offence all year, and three weeks of defence at the end!
Where we down 5 minutes in the first two rounds?

After a trip to IC, I have only one thing to say about all the I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this.I'm a real wanker for saying this.ing and moaning over there - oh, and let's not forget the conspiracy theories: Denial. It's not just a river in Egypt.

. . . but in the keepin' it real category, don't forget that beating Michigan St. and then Kentucky will require a Herculean effort coupled with a stern and terrible resolve.
Give 'em Hell Duke!
Excellent performance by the ACC and saying that, Duke is the sole remaining ACC team to make the final 4.
I'll admit I was down on this team mid-season. It reminded me a lot of last year with poor defense but a lot offensive talent coupled with a coach that wouldn't change his defensive schemes (I'll get flack for this but I love coach k and think he's an amazing coach). With that said, coach K is my poy with his openness to different defenses that, in my opinion, really sparked this team. I haven't witnessed K this excited and dynamic in years. The players have totally bought in to his plan and it has been a privledge to be a fan this season.
im still in disbelief of the ability for anyone on this team to step up and take over a game. Every single player on this team has had a game where they were the player of the game.
With that said, let's take down Michigan state and cut down the nets over anyone who stands in our way!
