Overall, GTown did an impressive job, all things considered. This was the first game where duke's opponent led at the half (which may not say much, given that Duke had a weak schedule thus far). Also, they "kept it respectable," which means that they didn't get blown out. This was anyone's game throughout it, so in that sense, they did an excellent job.
There were some BS calls, this is true, but the refs did okay. Sweeney showed why he is a Big East threat this year, by putting up such strong numbers against the No. 1 team in the nation. He is a Beast in development, and will definately pose a threat in the league.
Now on to Dookie V. I'm sorry to dwell on this, but he is a prime example as to why sports commentators are bad. Whenever Duke had a decent play, despite who it was, Vitale always had to add a shining remark about the player. I think he needs to learn to shut the F*ck up sometimes, and let the players do their job. Furthermore, commentators like him who obviously carry a bias towards a team should not be allowed to do any nationally televised games. By the 8 minute mark for the 4th quarter, i turned off the television in disgust.
Perhaps this relates to my issue with bandwagon fans, but oh well.
Go Hoyas!
