It’s really too bad that Duke’s game against Wake Forest couldn’t have been played on Halloween because it was a combination of weirdness and a house of horrors.
Things started off weird early with the Scheyer/Amaker story about Duke’s succession plan. Duke played well in the first half, other than shooting, and really hard too. But after halftime things just got strange.
First, Duke’s coach Mike Krzyzewski didn’t come out for the second half which sent a palpable buzz through the crowd. The refs asked the Duke bench about it. Steve Forbes gestured over to the bench too and Chris Carrawell gave him a thumbs up so presumably it’s a transient illness.
