Why I think/thought Tech would win

Real quick, because I couldn't get to this til halftime.

If Tech comes back and wins this game, it will be because the Jackets have two slashers in Jack and Bynum and Duke has only real premium on the ball defender in Ewing.

Since Dockery went down, Duke has yet to play a team that has that capability. Not Miami - only Diaz. Not UNC - only Felton, with McCants out - not Virginia - Bannister's just not that big a threat and not State - Hodge is really their only slasher.

Of course, if J.J. Redick gets hot in the second half, that negates everything.

Back to the court ...

A very good point-- did Jack's ankle sprain provide just enough edge for Duke to squeak through?----Probably
