UNC/Duke game
I meant to post this yesterday & apologize, but i ended spending the day in bed sick.
Going into the game I was extremely nervous and anxious, we had been playing extrememly well up until the past week and a half or so and felt like we had a lot to prove. We started off rather slow, going down by 11 at some point, but you aren't Duke without going on a bit of a ran. And that's just what we did. We took the 11 point deficiet and turned it into a double digit lead at one point. We played amazing defense and our shooting guards had found their touch especially Scheyer and Singler who had been in a bit of a slump going into the game. Dicky V had said the two were out shooting around hours before they were do to be at the court, it defiantly showed. We went into half time with amazing energy and pumped up.
16 seconds into the second half could perhaps be called the turn around of the game. Hansborough, Singler and another Duke player scrambled for a loose ball and the played ended with Singler being called for a techinical foul for elbowing Tyler in the face. Whether he did it on perhaps or his elbow just went snapped back of slipping of the ball, they said it was almost 90 degrees on court level, is up to interpretation. The technical gave Singler I believe his four foul of the game, five fouls being the limit. The Blue Devils soon saw their lead diminish and found themselves on the losing end of the battle. To tell you the truth I didn't pay too much attention to the second half, I was disappointed our play. We went into the locker room at half time a well flated balloon and we walked back on the court seeming almost a bit deflated and it just kept going down, they weren't able to really bring it back to where it was before. I think we depend on the 3 pointer a little too much, but I guess that's what happens when you don't have a prominent player to play in the paint, you have to depend on your shooters. And in the second half we were lucky if anything was going in and you have to give Carolina credit, the defense that seemed to fall away in the first half came back swinging in the second half and seemed to be effective. Over all the Carolina ended up scoring over 100 points against the best defense in the ACC.
Watch out Carolina, on your senior night I think you will be seeing a different Duke team and we will leave Tyler in tears and they won't be happy ones either.
