The Blue Devils had their way early against Pittsburgh in Madison Square Garden. However, some halftime adjustments by Pitt Head Coach Jamie Dixon proved to be the undoing for Duke. They stormed back from a 15 point deficit to beat the Dukies by one. In doing so they remained unbeaten and handed Duke thier first loss of the season.
Coach Dixon should be proud of the toughness displayed by his team. They battled back time and again until they got to the top of the mountain. Even though they have replaced their nucleus from a year ago, they still appear to be a team to be reckoned with on the national level.
Could this be the year they break into the Final Four?
Miami Coach Charlie Coles has done it again. After knocking off Xavier and Mississippi State they traveled to Champaign and beat Illinois in their own house. The timeless wonder of Coach Coles!!
Another statment that the MAC will get multiple bids this year..
