Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Thursday, January 20, 2005

All five Duke starters reached double figures as the Devils beat the Demon Deacons.

Duke's inside game was particularly good. The Devils had a 38-23 rebounding edge, and Mistie Williams and Alison Bales had 22 and 21 points, respectively.

"The biggest thing for them was us being able to defend their first shot, but not their second or third," Wake coach Mike Petersen said. "We had trouble rebounding due to their height. Rebounding is usually a team function, but unfortunately we lost a lot of the individual battles, which led to their rebounds."
