Wednesday Word

Wow. Texas went down and so did the Dukies. Duke lost to a desperate FSU team who had to win to have a legitimate shot at the NCAAs. Florida State looked like a team that was willed to the win by Al Thorton. The game was won on the free throw line, Florida State out scoring Duke by 22 at the stripe. This was a result of aggressive play and putting the burden on Shelden Williams to rack up the fouls and was on the bench when they needed him most. Texas, on the other hand, continues to show their bad side. They are the second most talented team in the country behind Uconn, but they never string streaks together. They can play with anyone one night and also lose to anyone like Texas A&M. P.J Tucker also must be kicking himself because he thought the game clock was the shot clock!?! Are You Kidding Me? He dribbled the clock out and had no idea until the violation was called. Morals: Duke is fine, call it a wake up call. Texas is not, look for them to be out by the Round of 16.
