Last night I thought Dickie V's head was going to explode. The Dookies had an 8 point halftime lead and the Cameron Crazies were living up to their name. And get this, I was able to hear Dickie V's excitement all the way from a television carrier company that wasn't blocking the ESPN telecast out locally so MyAtl could carry it and we had to listen to a depressed Mike Gminski in the second half!
But honestly, Dook gave UNC its best shot in the first half and UNC wasn't playing well over the last 12 minutes of the second half, yet ONLY trailed 8. That was probably the BEST Dook could have played and they were only up 8. Yeah. In the second half, Dook saw what REAL defense is, stealing passes, BLOCKING shots, getting defensive rebounds, and they crumbled. Dook fans were probably wonder if what UNC was doing was legal because the only defense the Blue Devils only do is stand under the basket and hope a player runs into him to draw a charge. THAT'S IT!
Duke had ZERO answer for UNC when the Heels started to comeback and then took the 14 point lead. Kyle Singler did JUST what the Miami guy did on Saturday, but because the ref SINE DUBIO feared the Rat King, Singler got to stay in the game. Bullcrap.
But that was fun. UNC just dismantled Dook, poured triple digits IN CAMERON and walked out with a huge victory. Roy's Boys proved they can play D, they can run, they can play halfcourt...THEY DO IT ALL. They have the three best players in CBB, and they have great role players. And THAT is why they will win the championships.
UConn is nice and OU has one pretty good player. UNC is the best team and might not lose another game this season. Duke meanwhile is a pretender. And I don't see them getting better this season or next. Their core is not as good as the other contenders' cores and thus they are three years from REALLY competing for a National title. Sorry Blue Devil fans. At least you have David Cutcliff.
