Philip Thompson: Honest to God, it would be hard to diagram a better evening if you are a Wolfpack fan. First off, anytime we are able to beat Duke, it should be celebrated. Games like last night give the Pack faithful hope for the future. As I stated yesterday, the key to a Wolfpack victory was having Tracy Smith dominate the paint (which he did by owning the Plumlee dorks all night.) What a great sight it was to see Coach K scowling and yelling at his big men to play better defense, but at the same time knowing they were too uncoordinated and slow to stop Smith and the rest of the Pack. Victories like this have been few and far between in recent years, so Wolfpack Nation has every reason to be happy.
I would like to dedicate last night’s victory to my lovely wife, who just happens to be a die hard Duke fan. Dear, the sight of watching you storm up the stairs with more than eight minutes left was the perfect ending to the evening.
Then, when I thought I could not ask for more, the Tar Heels once again got run out of the gym. That is now 3 losses in a row for Ol’ Roy and company. Obviously being down to only 5 McDonald's All American had the heels at a major disadvantage.
To recap, UNC gets blown out at home, and State dominates Duke. It really does not get any better than this.
