tOSU is putting a hurting on Duke at the half. Lebron is in attendance. With this being a big game, I wonder if he shows up in the second half.....

Ohio State ended up winning by 22.

I'm not sure if tOSU is that good or Duke is just average, but if Duke is truly the #4 team, tOSU is a powerhouse and should roll to a title. Maybe Duke's young perimeter players improve and show that they can compete at this level, but if not Duke is in trouble. They were dominated tonight, the tOSU defense just stifled them all game and the Duke D was not able to contain OSU at all.

I think it was two fold. First, tOSU is just better than Duke. Theres not many matchups there that favor the Devils in that lineup. Second, Duke was probably dead in the legs a little after coming back from Maui. TN sure was last night. Its roughly 20-21 hours in the air coming back from Maui and the teams didn't do that til Friday. Turning back around and hitting the road again is tough.
