We waited one too many possessions to foul. Their final basket from Trent in the lane, should never have been allowed. We should have fouled Duval when he had received the ball out top near the Duke bench. I won't say it was the wrong decision to not foul him, as the shot clock was around 10 seconds and at that point you might as well play it out more often than not. But they did end up with that Trent basket in the lane as we were scrambling. I thought that if we could have fouled Duval and got him to the line, that the game was ours as momentum was shifting and the pressure to perform by duke was growing. It was still a one possession game and the former burger boy had not played that good of a game(couple of decent drive and kicks, but that's about it) and is a 59% foul shooter. We went after him and tried to foul him from that point going forward, but duke did a good job of not passing to him and keeping it in their other guard's hands.

Oh' well, it was a great run to the sweet sixteen, and another masterful job by JB and the boys, in a season where we were expected to do nothing and were never ranked in the top 25.
