Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Monday, March 31, 2003

Getting set for today's games:

Duke struggled against Georgia's 2-3 zone, but might have an easier time against Texas Tech, which likes to play mostly man. Beard is the superstar, but Tillis and Bass will be key for the Devils. Casey Jackson hopes to keep providing a spark for the Raiders off the bench. The big question of the game might be: how will the Pit fans react? Given their hatred of the Raiders, they might be pulling for Duke.

Coach Harry has just felt "like a passenger" riding his team's success, watching them play "far above their physical ability." He hopes for another miracle tonight. Dan Fleser has more on the relationship between Harry and Pat (aka "Queen Mary"); so does Travis Haney.
