It really is amazing. I've tried to stay away from the board today for my own sanity, but that game was pretty much exactly what you would expect. I guess the one thing I would have expected would be more scoring, but in general, the game went according to what we all figured (feared?) would happen.
It sucks to lose any game, but BC was about 100 times worse for me. Also Duke losing Thursday was really huge for us, and makes this loss a lot easier to handle. But after the recent run of poor home games I was getting concerned about the team. We lost this game, but Duke is really good and the game was at their place, so playing them to basically a standstill (the final margin was obviously a few points too high) makes me feel pretty good about the next few weeks. Hopefully they are ready for Maryland tomorrow.
Also if you look back at the Duke-SU series for the season, we basically played 2 super close games. The most "fair" outcome was each team took a game, which is what happened. I think the order of the games helped too; if last night was the first one then losing first would have really hurt, but knowing we already had a win made things a little easier. (For me at least).
it looks like unless we beat UVA next week we're looking at a probable rematch with Duke in the ACC semis.
