Duke can't overcome turnovers

I apologize for the lateness, and for a short post today.

Obviously a terrible lose, that we didn't want to see. This is one of those bumps in the road that a young team has to endure. Paulus was dreadful. Hopefully, this was just a fluke, because this isn't the best team we will face this year. McRoberts even though getting the double-double, matched Paulus with 6 turnovers. This is not what you want from two of your best players.

Nelson was a solid, and kept us in the game. He is the go to guy, and right now the leader of this team. As far as freshmen, Scheyer and Henderson both received important playing time. Even though their shot percentage wasn't there, they contributed good efforts. The freshmen class continues to improve.

All in all our defense kept us in the game. If Paulus plays like that every game, forget it we are done. If this is just a game where he has to look himself in the mirror, and realize that he is better than this, then it might work to his advantage.

Wednesday we will get to see the character of this team. Georgia Tech is a solid team, and it is our first true road game. Should be interesting to see how Paulus and McRoberts react.
