Duke sucks, Greg Paulus will go down as the best bench player to wear a forearm sleeve in the history of the game

It feels good to say it again, Duke sucks. Villanova came to play tonight, handing Duke an embarrassing defeat, 77-54. This game wasn’t really even close. Duke trailed for most of the game, barring the first few minutes and quick rally to start the 2nd half. Other than that, the Duke Blue Devils played like just about every other ACC team this tournament (other than UNC…so far).

Duke is a team that lives by their 3 pointers, which they only made 5 out of 27 tonight (18.5%). Duke added to the humiliation with an astonishing 26.7% from the field. Jon Scheyer lit it up as usual with 2 for 10 from downtown and a total of 3 for 18 from the field. Gerald ‘Big Game’ Henderson took it upon himself to carry the burden of the team by contributing 7 points on 1 of 14 shooting.

Greg Paulus, in his final game as a Duke Blue Devil, put it all out on the line with 110% effort and continuous barrage of floor slapping defense. Greg Paulus will go down as the best bench player to wear a forearm sleeve in the history of the game. Good luck in Europe Greg, well maybe.

The defeat tonight has ended Duke’s season and probably their last chance to get this far anytime soon. I’m assuming/hoping that Gerald Henderson will be declaring for the NBA, although Duke players always seem to stick around for another year to spite me. If Henderson decides to stay then Duke will have a good shot at being an ACC title contender, if he leaves… well sorry Dukies.

Duke sucks.
