Duke can't even buy a win

After a decent season, Duke was given a number two seed in the NCAA tourney and Erin and I were surprised to see that their first two games would be at the Verizon Center in Washington DC. My Company, Clark Construction, happens to have a sweet luxury box there and somehow I managed to score two tickets to the second night (of course, this was all contingent on them winning on the first night during which we almost had a heart attack as Duke barely squeaked by #15 seed Belmont 71-70).

We just noticed that ever since we started this blog there are two recurring patterns... One, we like live music, and two, Duke loses. Well those patterns continue as West Virginia beat us after we played a terrible second half. The only good thing we got out of the day was some free beers (they weren't serving alcohol in the venue, but we had a stocked fridge in the luxury box) and these pictures:

Whatever Coach K was telling our team it certainly didn't help, we hit our first 2 three pointers then went something like 0-18 on threes. It was not a very entertaining game to watch especially when the luxury box was filled with a West Virginia contingent and there were only two other Duke fans there. Oh well, there's always next year ;)
