Yea it was really strange for me also. I just sat there and watched the game with little to no emotion and that’s never happened to me in a Duke-UNC game. I just kept thinking about the rest of the season and not so much on this game, which was a first for me.It felt like I was punched in the gut from the blind side. OFC

Oh, yeah, Boozer.I can't recall any previous "sinking feeling" that was this bad.
Zion would have been close esp. if he was lost for the season. But for me it was 99. I watched the game with my dad. Was kneeling in front of the TV when the last play happened and I think I just stayed there for a few minutes in shock. Langdon was my favorite player but I kept yelling for Avery to take the shot. Ugh.
Kyrie’s injury was the most long-term demoralizing moment for me.. because I know that year was our championship to lose and that was a team that had potential to be undefeated.
A #1 draft pick.. a Senior Nolan Smith & Kyle Singler.. 8 total players that eventually played in the NBA.. plus Tyler Thornton & Josh Hairston as role players.. that was a championship team.
I figured if Duke were to lose to UNC this season it would have been Wednesday night. They are lights out on the road vs at home for whatever reason.
Zion's injury at the moment doesn't sound very bad at all. I would think Duke would have more demoralizing moments in its history than losing to a top ten team without their best player on the court.
Run the table in conference you mean? I couldn't see it, even as talented as you guys are. The ACC is brutal. I fully expect you guys to be healthy and the overall number one come selection Sunday. Don't want any rematches with you all, either.To be honest I thought we would run the table as long as there were no injuries. We were a shot or break or two from being undefeated until Wed. and of course just like on cue here comes the injury . I'm not we would have one the game for sure but Zion would have made mayes night a lot tougher. I think I could have scored 10 points if I was left open and unguarded the way maye was. Nobody's gonna want to play us. OFC

He’s not even hurt badly, though. It’s not like he’s out for the year. He will probably play next weekOh good lord, for the last time, it’s about Zion getting hurt, not the result of the game. You slow Louisville grads.
That one hurt. Was happy to see Elton Brand play that game. Man! Did he want it!!
So thankfully it is sounding like it isn’t serious, but was Zion’s injury the most demoralizing moment in Duke history?
Elton Brand didn't play in 2004.
1990 vs UNLV. To watch a Duke team playing in a championship game with no answer what so ever. It felt like UNLV had 10 guys on the court....but of course everything worked out alright.
