To have one of Duke’s more highly-anticipated teams go out like this leaves a fairly hollow feeling. The anticipation was palpable in 2005. It was bad enough that UNC won the previous year with the same core group (Felton, May, McCants) that missed the tourney when they were all freshman. Add to it that Redick wouldn’t be able to get over on those guys again because they went to the NBA after their title. This year, Duke HAD to do it. And things started out well with big wins against Texas and Memphis….until Georgetown bully balled them and exposed the gameplan that FSU, UNC and LSU replicated. The 2002 Duke squad had a lot of pressure, but the loss to Indiana really was pretty flukey. The 2006 squad had even more pressure IMO, but the losses were no flukes. This Duke team, despite its decorated regular season and preseason anticipation, was just too soft.
A lot of people thought Duke would make the Final Four in 2006..I was upset Duke lost this game..Duke had good seniors in JJ Redick and Sheldon Williams..📘🏀💺
This game made tyrus Thomas a first round pick
Yes Indeed Friend..

Geaux tigers still remember the feeling of winning this game. I was a freshman in high school!
