We’ll say this: Cal State Fullerton was better than we expected. As Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski pointed out afterwards, it’s a veteran team and Duke is certainly not that. They’re more capable of taking a shot and bouncing back from it than is Duke. But Duke was a much better team and won 78-61.
Before we go any further, we’d like to make an overdue acknowledgment. The person who inspired us to start this site way back when is a Fullerton graduate and a lovely woman. So thanks to MJ for suggesting it. We all owe her a lot.
