Last year, Duke was out in Round 1. This year, they’re out in Round 2. The Blue Devils lost to West Virginia 73-67 in a game they looked solid in the first half, and awful in the second. Duke was just 5-22 from beyond the arch and only 19 of 50 from the field. West Virginia looked sluggish in the first half, often turning the ball over and incapable of dealing with Duke’s pressure D, but didn’t seem to have any problems after Bob Huggins’ inspirational, drunken halftime speech.
You know you’re an annoying team when someone picks you in their bracket (that someone being me), and is still rooting for you to lose.
