As usual, I really enjoyed your recap.  Also, glad you got great seats for the game - sounds like it was a blast.  A few things after reading your post...

I really thought we were going to lose, and I had those thoughts early in the 2nd half.  I love the guys we have, but we are far from being a gelled team.  I give Boeheim credit for so many guys he put into the game early, but that was part of the problem too (if you're just looking at winning the game).

I agree, our pressure D was very disappointing.  With such a new team, maybe that's to be expected.  I hope so because it was really bad.  The only pressure we really had was on ourselves after getting beat over and over and having to defend the hoop on the other end.

I might be in the minority here, but I HATE the new flop rule.  While I despise flops, I detest calls from refs on what are incredibly subjective.  I don't get how you can call a personal foul on a guy for lunging backwards.  Seems like a dumb call and an over correction just because for years Duke got rewarded for flops.

Judah is money.  I also love his intense competitiveness.  We may not have him long so I'm going to try to enjoy watching his wear orange as long as we can.  Love the player.

I also love what Cope brought today.  I expect he will also have games which will be really frustrating too - he seems like that kind of player.  That said, his energy and willingness to go after balls was great to see.  I hope he keeps earning minutes because that kind of play is contagious.
