Everybody has a plan until they get hit in the face.
Ancient boxing axiom.
Duke got hit in the face early and often Tuesday night in PNC Arena and they did not have a plan.
Make no mistake. State’s 88-66 win over Duke was no fluke.
They were better in every aspect of the game.
Of course Duke said all the right things before the game. And I’m sure they believed them. No one expects to come out flat. They understood that the Wolfpack would be focused, motivated and hungry and they had to be able to match that intensity.
