Must See X’s & O’s of the Day – Syracuse vs. Duke

Attached in this playbook are two plays from Syracuse and three plays from Duke. The match between the Orange and Blue Devils on Monday ended with a dominating showing on the boards by Syracuse and a loss by Duke. The loss put Duke and Coach K at three straight and two home losses this season. A lot is being made of Duke’s poor performance, but let’s not forget what the critics were saying last year about Duke before the NCAA tournament. Coach K seems to always find a way to turn it around and get his team playing the way he wants once March rolls around. Don’t count the Blue Devils out just yet.
