Tough to win when it's 5 on 1
Frustrating finish. Terrible first half. Some wasted opportunities late in the second half. Never got our legs in the OT.
Great game by Hurt. Williams with flashes of brilliance.
Will be interesting to see how things play out from here.
Too upset to post anything rational right now.
Love the guts and toughness the boys showed coming back. A whistle or a FT goes our way and we win in regulation.
OT, a senior guard took over, as you might expect. And we couldn’t get Hurt the ball.
Forget Lunardi. Our goals are still in reach, especially since a lot of similar bubble teams are also losing. We lost but our play didn’t take a step back today. That’s important down the stretch.

Played hard, team is still improving, but unless Duke wins the ACCT in Greensboro (which I think they could do) they are now officially headed to the NIT! Hard to see them as an NCAAT team currently at 11-9, 9-7!
I will give this team credit for not giving up though! 37 points from Hurt was awesome!
Showed a lot of grit to get to OT. That will be in important in the ACCT. Vulnerabilities exposed against a team with strong guard play. This game is not close without a career day for Hurt.
We'll get better from this, but not a lot of runway left.
If we split the next two and win two in the ACCT, the question is, does a 14-11 team get in to the tourney?
Sensational night Hurt
Our guards 3-21...1-10 from 3

It's been years since Duke blocked out on shots.
Guard play was terrible. Couldn't shoot. Didn't prevent penetration.
Thanks to Hurt for a career performance, otherwise we get crushed.
Just when I thought maybe we'd turned the corner...
Season not over, just in dire jeopardy. Tonight we could've almost cemented a bid, now we have work to do.
Disappointing.
The two points lost to toes on the line hurt, as did not securing that FT rebound at the end of regulation. Hurt was really phenomenal, but whether it was him being gassed or poor execution, we really didn’t do a good job running the offense through him in the last 2-3 minutes of regulation and all of overtime. And Louisville got some found money (the 3 at the start of overtime, the chuck it at the basket prayer 3 in the first half with the shot clock running down). We didn’t play very well, but we played well enough to win, and just couldn’t quite get it done.
Just be you. You is enough. - K, 4/5/10, 0:13.8 to play, 60-59 Duke.
You're all jealous hypocrites. - Titus on Laettner
You see those guys? Animals. They're animals. - SIU Coach Chris Lowery, on Duke
Terrible personnel decisions, and everyone on the board knows what I'm talking about. Coach is his own worst enemy at times. Bob Knightesque.
We shot 23 free throws and fouled out two opponent players! That's a huge improvement in one of our biggest weak points, it's too bad we don't have the win to show for it.
