Reading some of the sports media's coverage of our win makes me smile -- we get a passing mention in some articles, with 99% of the rest focused on Duke.
The SI.com article referred to us as "middling," then went on to discuss Tre Jones's injury for the remaining 40 paragraphs of the hand wringing article.
To be sure, Jones going out in the first half / Reddish being out due to illness greatly helped the cause. I acknowledge that 100%. But I think our team deserves SOME credit -- after all, we did just knock off the #1 team in the country on their home court.
Its like all the sports media can do nowadays is focus on entertainment stories, not on actual events. Funny in some respects, really.
