NC State/Duke Game Response

You know, I thought I wouldn't have to do another one of these this quickly but, here I am again with a response to the NC State/Duke game. First off, congrats to the Wolfpack! They played their hearts out and the score was no joke in the first half and most of the second half as well. However, foul trouble and some questionable calls caused huge problems for them. I'm not going to sit here and complain as much as I already have about the officiating but I do want to complain about the reaction after. 

ESPN posted a story on Facebook saying: "'It’s not how you start, but how you finish.' Thank you for the lesson, Duke" Okay, yes I know, it was a big deficit but I don't think Duke is the only team in NCAA history to make a comeback. And let's not forget that this comeback took place at Cameron. It would have been more impressive on the road.

Another knock I have on ESPN was apparently they said "NC State Wildcats" in their story but later changed it. I know people make mistakes but, come on. "Wolfpack" has been the monkier of NC State probably since the school's formation in 1887. So far, I've seen absolutely zero credit to State for what they did leading up to Duke's comeback. Let me put it this way: Duke didn't deserve to win neither this game nor the UNC game last week. Enjoy it now because Duke is going nowhere in the NCAA Tournament!
