McClure's last second finger roll leads Duke to win
For practically the whole game Duke dominated Clemson. On the boards, and in the points column. Then when Duke was up by five with about 15 seconds left, Vernon Hamilton drove to the basket and scored a quick two points. All Duke had to do was get the ball in, and get fouled. However, Josh McRoberts wasn't on the same page as Greg Paulus and threw the ball right to Vernon Hamilton who made a three point shot to tie the game at 66 with 4.4 seconds left. And in a sort of homage to Sean Dockery, McRoberts passed the ball to Jon Scheyer, who passed it to a cutting David McClure, who dropped the ball in the hoop with 0.1 seconds left for a great end to an exciting game.
McRoberts was solid for the entire game. He had 17 points and 12 rebounds and was a big reason why Duke was leading the entire game. However, he had five costly turnovers and seemed to always do it in the worst possible situation. All in all, Duke won the game and he was their leading scorer.
Greg Paulus has another good game, scoring 13 points and dishing out 5 assists. But he did have 4 turnovers, and made a few to many mistakes. He is playing a lot better than he was at the beginning of the year, and all his former critics(including me) are starting to shut their mouth.
Jon Scheyer has another rough shooting night. He went 2-10 from the field and 2-8 from behind the arc. He still had 12 points, and had the key pass that setup the game winning shot. DeMarcus Nelson had a quiet 13 points and 8 rebounds. He has been doing it all year, and is one of the most solid players in the ACC.
PLAYER OF THE GAME
David McClure
Yeah he only had 8 points, but those two key points were the ones that mattered the most. He is one of the best sixth man in college basketball, and will probably soon be starting if Lance Thomas doesn't get out of this funk. I am glad to see McClure playing like this night in and night out. Without him, we would be in serious trouble.
Next up for Duke is another big test. Sunday they will host Boston College, who is another top tier team in the ACC. Duke is playing well, but will have to be at their best to take care of BC.
