Did UNC's Win Over Duke Actually Help Duke?

from The Best of the Sports Shop

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss how Duke has responded since their loss to UNC and why it might have actually helped them. The Duke Blue Devils delivered a dominant performance last night, defeating the Notre Dame Fighting Irish 100-56 in South Bend. Duke raced out to a commanding 54-22 halftime lead and never let up, overwhelming Notre Dame on both ends of the floor. Cameron Boozer led the way with 24 points and 13 rebounds, while multiple Blue Devils scored in double figures to showcase the team’s depth and balance. Since Duke's narrow loss to the North Carolina Tar Heels a few weeks ago, the Blue Devils have bounced back impressively. The team responded with several strong wins, including a statement victory over #1 Michigan, which helped Duke climb to No. 1 in the AP Top 25 poll for the program’s record 148th time and then last night's 44-point win over Notre Dame. This run of success has solidified Duke’s position atop the ACC standings and strengthened their case for a top seed in the NCAA Tournament. Did Duke's loss to UNC wake them up? Will Duke go further this year than they did last year?
