When had a bit of Lady Luck on our side tonight. Justise had an amazing game, but as a team I don't think we played very well. Okafor had a poor game and Utah missed a lot of good looks. No way the margin of victory would have been this small had we not gone into stall ball with freaking 7 minutes (!) left.

Lol true. It's getting ridiculous now. They were actually decent most of the game but got nuts here towards the end....

On one hand, I'm heartened by the fact that we can beat a top 20 team with minimal contributions from Cook, Jah, and Tyus (though Cook and Tyus hit some big free throws). On the other hand, those guys had better show up Sunday.

I know it's about survive and advance but I'd much prefer destroy and advance when up 15 with under 10 min to play. Darn that stall ball unless it's under 3 minutes up double digits sheesh

The great thing about March is you don't have to angst over a less-than-pretty win. Roll on, Duke!

We beat a good team tonight, and most of our team did not play well. If not for Winslow, we are heading home. I bet we show up Sunday.

Not a perfect game by us and we gave them way too many breaks but Utah was tough. An ugly win is better than a pretty loss.

Wow, 14-15 point lead and ready to blow Utah clear out of the gym, and take the air out of the ball with 7+ minutes left?! As soon as I saw us pull up, all I could say was "NO" not now.
Instead of really making a statement, I just hope we did not shake the confidence we were building up on that run. Man, I don't feel good about this, but I will take the win, beats the hell out of going home for good.
Go Duke!!
