Indiana Falls to Duke
Posted by: David Bunch
Indiana lost a tough one last night, but I must say I am proud of them. They played good solid ball and they stayed in the game, even taking the lead late in the game, small and brief though it was. Dick Vitale even said "the Hoosiers have a lot to be proud of."
Having said that Duke has an incredible team, and J.J. Redick seemed unstoppable. With right about 2 minutes left and ahead only by three, Redick scored an impossible looking layup and was fouled, making it a 3 point play. That was the death knell.
Mike Krzyzewski said of the play:
That's what makes college basketball fun. You see these guys play their hearts out and a lot of times it comes down to who wants the win the most.
Last night it looked like Redick and the Duke Blue Devils want the big one.

"The will to win, I mean that one drive he had for the three-point play that,
whoosh! He just willed that sucker in," Krzyzewski said. "I'm glad he's on my
bus or I'm on his bus or whatever."
