Well that first game was a bit scary for Duke I am sure..I mean this isn't the first team to use that strategy on them..but it is the first time this year. I remember in the ACC tournament I believe Matt D'oh used similar strategies on Duke and it worked for quite a bit of the game. So I credit Coach Jackson with really doing his homework. He really exploited Dukes defense in that game. I wonder if anyone else will employ that tactic.
Game 2. Mississsipi..Clark Kellog called it when he said they would give Duke all it could handle and then some, this team was some foul shots away from running away with this, they missed quite a few. Loren Roberts is a beast, and I think he matched up well with Shelden. He and Ewing really carried the load. I think Dock being back is helping Ewings offense quite a bit, without Dock they may have lost the first game. The timing of his return could not have been better. Lets see how they fair against Michigan State, the first meeting this year was a close one..but both teams were still finding themselves. Should be a good game.
I predict Duke wins by 10, and that Shelden has a great game maybe he goes for 17...I think Shav, if he can finish can have some good minutes in this game on offense.
