Senior night in Durham is usually a highly emotional affair but there was a clear haze around Coach K’s Duke squad that they never quite shook. Even assistant Coach Jon Scheyer notes at halftime, where the Blue Devils could only muster a 1 point lead at the games midway point, that his team was playing uninspired and non-energetic basketball. Wake, for their part battled the Blue Devils tough from jump ball to final whistle.
In what was expected to be a proper drubbing ended up being a back and forth tussle. The Blue Devils were not sharp and it showed.
