From my observation, there were three factors that led to Duke's loss.\n\n#1 - The officiating, while consistent, allowed a lot of physical play.  If you watched J.J. Redick trying to come off screens he was almost always grabbed and held onto by his defender.  Surprisingly this frustrated Redick, a senior player, and got him off his game.  Equally surprising to me, Duke never seemed to make an adjustment to the physical play.\n\n#2 - LSU ruled the boards.  LSU finished the game with a 42-38 rebounding edge, and a lot of LSU's rebounds were critical putbacks, as well as momentum killing, one and done boards.  I don't think I've ever witnessed a team have as many non-foul, blocked shots as LSU managed either.  LSU finished the night with 9 blocks, which doesn't sound like a lot (compared to some of the Landlord's games this season), but again they came at critical times.  Point, LSU was bigger and better along the frontline.\n\n"I just wanted to do something to turn the game around, to help out the team. And at that moment I saw the opportunity where I can get a rebound, and I went and got it-twice." - LSU Big Baby Davis\n\n#3 - Duke lost its composure after Redick missed the open 3 late in the game, with Duke leading by 5.  I'm not pinning the loss on Redick, it was a team effort, or lack there of.  How does a team rebound a missed free throw with only the free thrower on the line (rest of the team back on defense)?  Duke didn't look desperate late in the game, rather looked terribly rattled.\n\nThis is why the games are played.  You can never be certain one team is going to victor over another based on rankings, computer analyis, or "expert" opinion.\n\n"...when mere winning is our only goal, we are doomed to disappointment and failure...when our focus is on preparation and sacrifice and effort - instead of the numbers on the scoreboard - we will never lose" - Coach K

I agree, bring it on. One of the best games I have seen in a while, it was truley #1 vrs #2. If they do not meet again,it is ok because to me that was the national championship.

yes. I know that my bracket is the absolute best. I would tell you but i cant fit it into this answer. Let me just tell my final four: LSU, Kansas, UCONN, Boston College. Don't let anyone persuade you otherwise. I'm right. UCONN over LSU in the title game, 77-70.

It was an awesome game. I am a die hard Clippers fan so it hurt to see them go down like that, but that's alright. I will be at the game tomorrow night to watch them win game 6 and hope they beat the Suns over in Phoenix in Game 7! Go Clippers!
