Now that's why I watch basketball!!! Duke and North Carolina. It's always fun!! It's been on my mind for weeks to keep an eye out for this game. It felt like North Carolina was in control. Duke trailed almost the entire game. But they stayed close. It felt like they were getting out-rebounded. It felt like they were constantly getting beat downcourt on fast breaks. They were on the road. They could have easily wilted. But they stayed close. And they pulled it out at the end. 74-73. On Michael Jordans birthday even. The first college game this season that I've sat down and watched from beginning to end.
Grayson Allen was just an absolute stud for Duke. Just constantly attacking. Staying strong with the ball in his hands. Playing every second of the game and never looking like he needed a break. Amazing intensity yet when there was a stoppage in play he appeared to be so incredibly calm in the middle of that crazy atmosphere. I'll go out on a limb and say that he's NBA ready!!!
It all causes me to want to go out and get into a game. Then I realize all the aches and pains that I'd feel after just one or two trips downcourt. (I can't even run across the street these days.) Hopefully tonight I'll dream about playing in such a game. Because being one day short of 60, I think my chances of actually playing in something like that are pretty slim.
