Christian is totally right that Duke has been unbelievable these past 2 seasons and usually only loses because of a brutal choke job

But they were up 43-35 with 18:35 left in the 2nd half vs Clemson in February 2025

They lost the lead with 13 minutes left and it was back and forth after that until Clemson pulled off the historic W. That’s not a choke.

IMO the Clemson loss is the only time over a 2 year stretch that Duke was outplayed before MSU tonight

And I think Clemson should get more praise for that. Unbiased opinion.

That's the first time Duke has lost a game since March 14, 2024 in which they didn't blow an 8+ point second-half lead

Great win for Michigan State. Impressive game control from Fears and a fantastic team performance defensively.

Was curious who Kentucky’s backup center was. Figured probably a freshman getting some minutes

Turns out it’s Franck Kepnang - a 7th year senior that played meaningful minutes for Oregon back in 2020

Could be this year’s Perry Ellis “Unc of the Year” award winner - stay tuned

Its never happened this early. This is bad. Tyran Stokes needs to miss a shot IMMEDIATELY.

I try so hard every year to convince myself not to pick Kansas to win it all

I picked them in 2016 2017 2018 2021 and 2022. I would’ve picked them in 2020. I was addicted to it.

The last 3 years have been calming. I’ve been at peace.

But that feeling is back. I’m scared.
