It's a close game.

We have that possession where we get four shots at the rim.

And that all comes after a Cam Boozer offensive rebound off of a missed free throw.

It's fitting that Cam was the one who ended up finishing it off.

And I'm sorry, I think we had three shots of the rim, not four.

The fact that that happened at two key moments for Duke.

And not only did it happen, but Duke turned both of those into key baskets.

To me, that's my my joint play of the game unified by that miss rebounding your missed free throw.

The 78% of ACC teams are in the top 75 of the net.

The only conference above that is the Big 12, which I think everyone agrees is a tier above everyone else in terms of strength.
