Roundball recap: Breaking down the loss vs. Duke

Well, we all saw it. Let’s get right into it.

-You will not find the ra-ra “we played a No. 1 team so close!” or “we showed we can hang with them!” post here. I don’t write a blog for a mid-major program – I write one for the No. 2 team in the nation that has national title hopes.

That’s an alarming performance that showed how every flaw this team has can bite them in the end. An end that would come too soon.

Careless turnovers — 17 on the game.

Spotty shooting, at best, from the shooting guards — 1-8 combined 3-point shooting from Josh Langford and Matt McQuaid.
