Great win for Duke last night, getting a league win on the road especially against a top 25 team that's already beaten us this year is always nice. As someone who enjoys sharpshooting (you kind of have to if you're a fan of Duke post-2004), I love watching Dre when he gets hot. When he gets hot, he gets HOT like last night. Undoubtedly one of the best shooters in the nation and if you give him open shots, he'll take them and he'll make them.
It's amazing to see that we're undefeated on the road in league play and only have two road losses on the year (tbh, we lost both of our two true road non-conference games in embarrassing fashion). I consider that a great achievement for a program that over recent years has gained a bit of a reputation of being much more vulnerable on the road than at home. Which is a valid rep, we lost ten games in the past two years (2009-2011), with nine of them being true road losses (and then Arizona in the NCAA tournament).
If Duke can take care of business this week against Va Tech and Wake (both are pretty winnable games), and Carolina can handle their business (going to Virginia isn't easy, but I expect them to win that), that'll set up the dream scenario of Duke vs. Carolina here (in Cameron) for the ACC regular season title. ESPN execs' eyes haven't gleamed so much since the Decision.
More Duke fans appearing out of the woodworks. Great post btw.
Alumni or just a fan?
