The Duke basketball loss to Michigan State is being blown out of proportion given the circumstances.
Yes, the Duke basketball loss on Tuesday night was an uninspired, ugly loss inside Cameron Indoor Stadium on the floor, but off the floor the defeat is being taken out of context.
Michigan State walked into an empty Cameron Indoor Stadium and beat a young, inexperienced Blue Devils squad, something that no team has ever done before.
Tom Izzo said in his postgame press conference that he will not be putting an asterisk next to this game, nor should he.
