Reluctantly, a tip of the hat to Duke
My friend, Steve Lerner, and I have been to nearly every Atlantic Coast Conference basketball tournament since 1989. We were in D.C. this past weekend. That is, until Sunday. After the University of North Carolina lost to Georgia Tech on Saturday, we packed up and left early Sunday because we couldn’t bear to watch Duke play in its ninth straight ACC championship game.
Carolina has not played very well since losing to Duke in early February. Even a week early, Carolina beat Duke, but it was ugly basketball. The Carolina team whose defense had created turnovers that led to fast-break points early in the season seems to have vanished. The lack of defensive intensity in the second half of the season robbed the Tar Heels of a lot of its offensive opportunity. Things do not look hopeful for the NCAA tournament.
I like the tournament in D.C. It’s more interesting than having the games in Charlotte or Greensboro. In D.C., there are interesting restaurants and non-basketball fanatic friends to catch up with in between games.And at the games, you see people you only see once a year at this event. But the main attraction is the best college basketball tournament in America. And my tema, Carolina, played two bad games.
Too bad Duke won again. But hats off to Coach K. Even a true-blue Carolina fan like me has to give him credit. He did a great coaching job this year.
