Duke gets lucky and barely gets past Belmont 71-70
Posted On: March 20, 2008 By: Cliff Comments: (one)
Ok, yes I will admit that Duke got very lucky tonight against Belmont. To be honest, Belmont should have won this game and I actually felt sorry for them when they threw the last ball away to DeMarcus Nelson. It was like I didn’t believe what happened… Yet, I’m sitting here happy that Duke won, but still pissed off at how poorly they played.
First off, DeMarcus Nelson, you need to step up like the Senior you are. You have been around the Duke program long enough to know when you should take the game over.  Yet, that didn’t happen and good thing Gerald Henderson was around to pick up for you.
Speaker of Henderson, what a game for him. He came up with the big shot and the big stop on defense late in the ballgame that the Blue Devils really needed. Without Henderson, the Blue Devils lose this game without a question.
Another player that really needs to step if the Blue Devils want to have any shot during the next round is Freshman Kyle Singler. Singler has looked lost out there the last three to four games and isn’t knocking down the open shot. I would like to see him drive to the basket more and get to the free throw line to get some points from the charity line.
I’m happy for the win tonight, but still upset at the same time. I really don’t like Duke’s chances against the winner of the Arizona / West Virgina match. I think Duke loses out in the second round, with another bad performance in the NCAA Tournament. What do you think Blue Devil fans? Do you agree with me?

I hope you are completely mistaken about tomorrow’s game against the Mountaineers of WV. It will break my heart if they lose. Duke’s had a bit of a bad run their last couple of games but I thought I saw a little fire in their gameplay against Belmont. Goooooooo Duke!
