So I watched the Duke vs the U game last night and let me tell you, it may have been the best college basketball game I have ever seen in my life. Duke just imploded and Miami was on fire and stayed on fire the entire game. Which begs my question is a 90- 63 loss the worst loss by a number 1 team ever?
I'm not going to look it up, but just assume it has to be. I don't want to hear any Duke fans say, "Well Ryan Kelly was out," because that's bullshit, Ryan Kelly wouldn't have changed the outcome of this game.
Miami was blazing hot and went 57% shooting for the whole night and basically 50% from the line. That is also with their best big man Reggie Johnson being extremely limited due to a broken thumb (that he somehow recovered in 4 weeks, doesn't make sense). Duke as a team shot 29% which is a lot better than their 18% they shot in the first half.
Seth Curry went 0-10 with 0 points and Quinn Cook went 1-12. And at one point in the first half Miami went on a 25-1 run. It was a thing of beauty.

Well, Ryan Kelly was out.
No way Ryan Kelly would have made up that difference.
Miami also played with a hobbled star
I was joking. The absence of Ryan Kelly did not make Seth Curry go 0'fer. Duke missed some open shots early and then it totally snowballed from there, including some very lazy defense. Also give Miami some credit. They played their asses off!
I really like that Gamble kid, hes like a tough SOB like Reggie Evans
