Jumping straight to the end of the story moral and it is STICK TO YOUR GUNS!
As a card carrying tax payer with blood type Tar Heel Blue positive, its in my dna to hate the Puke Poo Devils, but as a college hoop nut, one has to respect Coach Sha-gets-the-most-outta-his-talent-ski! But too much respect was given last night with the +7 point bet of Duke at The Ohio State Buckeyes.
To put it simply, just like a Mr. Big choco bar, when you play that good like Ohio State did, they call you THE!
Jared Sullinger was unstoppable last night. Duke tried an out-of-character 2-3 zone in the end of the 1st half that led to a huge run by the Buckeyes to go into halftime up 19. Then it was off to the races. Ball game!
OSU stamped the second half as a statement game as Coach Thad Motta left the starters in until about 2 min left in the game where Coach K played his bench pretty much for the whole 2nd half.
This also stamped CrazyDavoA's stupid stupid halftime hedge bet of Duke to win the 2nd half by 1.5 points. Ouch!
Stick to your guns Adolph and hate the Poo Devils and make an effing profit!
Everything about last night was uncharacteristic of Duke, especially that 2-3 zone. It was literally 5 pylons standing in the 2-3 formation with zero movement. Ohio State just cut to the free throw circle at will for uncontested 8-10 foot jumpers. My coed basketball team could've broken that zone!
Also, Duke's frontcourt must've stayed back in Durham, because Miles Plumlee was as inspiring as a pregame speech from the Hoodie himself, Bill Bellichek! Mason Plumlee stamped himself as a useless big bodied Dukie. He is first ballot Useless Slug Hall of Famer with former Dukie, Greg Newton having a statue outside that great hall. Ryan Kelly also came back down to earth too with a performance reminiscent of a Dave Adolph's Mudhen coed basketball league performance.
Austin Rivers remains to be a talent but continues to force shots like a bald headed Kobe Bryant in his rookie season. The remaining guards were no where to be seen.
All in all an uncharacteristic evening leading to an uncharacteristic third person reference of CrazyDavoA in todays blog.
My apologies.
