We don’t like these episodes, but we have to do it. The ACC Tournament ended in abrupt fashion last night with Duke’s loss to NC State, and Jason and Donald discuss what went wrong on Episode 610.

Donald was at the game and after speaking with pride about the many listeners who he met in DC, he and Jason have to discuss the product on the floor and how it was not a great performance. The many headlines we received reflected some of our feelings about the game. There was some good in this game, namely the play of Kyle Filipowski as well as the play of Mark Mitchell. We comment on how they did during the game to carry Duke at times to keep them in it.

After the break, we discuss everything that went wrong in DC, from the lack of urgency and competitive fire to the shooting woes and lack of production from several players. We spend a lot of time on what Duke needs to do to improve. The NCAA Tournament is almost here, and the next loss will end our season. We offer predictions on where we think the Selection Committee will place us, but of course we will examine the full bracket when it’s released on Sunday night.
