[QUOTE="RML, post: 1561770, member: 23028"] I was yelling at the television for the first time in years. I think its because I've been complacent knowing (in the past years) that the team wasn't that good and wasn't realistically going anywhere. Wins were gravy. This year, I think they actually can accomplish something, and here, with Duke's terrible shooting, they had had a chance to really make a mark. Ultimately they did, but a Wake Forest-like rout was possible and I too was pissed off during the game by SO MANY missed dunks, missed freethrows, turnovers, and given-up offensive rebounds ([U]12[/U] at one point!). Play like that in the B1G, its likely a loss, isn't it? People sometime say a close win over a mediocre opponent is good springboard to improvement. Here's hoping that this is even better. [/QUOTE]
