"For me, it was a little bit of an out-of-body experience. Our team, I thought we weren't completely connected. Just the bottom line, we weren't connected. We're going to fix it. I can promise you that much. Our fans deserve better. That was not a good performance tonight."

So...uhhh...Coach's post game comments to the broadcast team were...something.

[TheDevilsDen.com @TheDevilsDen]

Duke never led in a 79-73 loss to Michigan State.

33.3% shooting. Eleven missed free throws. A late run that got no closer than five.

Biggest takeaway right now. Duke has no identity. Not sure who the defining personality is. Two years in a row everyone knew who the guy was. This team doesn't seem sure of much yet.

FINAL:

Michigan State 79, Duke 73

It wasn't that close.

Duke was totally overmatched from start to finish.

[TheDevilsDen.com @TheDevilsDen]

Definitely an earned L tonight.

[TheDevilsDen.com @TheDevilsDen]

Duke down 7.

1 minute left.

[TheDevilsDen.com @TheDevilsDen]

Yep, that'll do it.

[TheDevilsDen.com @TheDevilsDen]

8-0 run for Duke. Five point game with two minutes left. Probably too little too late.

[TheDevilsDen.com @TheDevilsDen]

You're down 7 and you have to look to the coach who is frantically telling you to GO....

Lots of tape to digest.

[TheDevilsDen.com @TheDevilsDen]

Boy if Foster had knocked that down...but, alas...

[TheDevilsDen.com @TheDevilsDen]

Missed layup to cut it to 6...

[TheDevilsDen.com @TheDevilsDen]

Blackwell for 3. Duke cuts it to 8.

Can they get a stop or two?

[TheDevilsDen.com @TheDevilsDen]

Yeah, this one's over.

[TheDevilsDen.com @TheDevilsDen]

I do think not playing Howard is something I'd review. He's long, has a motor.

[TheDevilsDen.com @TheDevilsDen]

Pat is fighting illness and lack of help...but 5/11 from the FT line....not gonna help.

MSU makes a 3.

Backbreaker.

70-58
