Duke Falls To Georgia Tech In Atlanta, 72-68
COLLEGE BASKETBALL: DEC 02 Duke at Georgia TechLet’s be clear: Duke was in position to win this game, despite everything, but didn’t deserve to. Georgia Tech thoroughly outplayed, outhustled and outsmarted the Blue Devils at every turn and deserved this win.
They earned it.
Duke fell behind 12-2 quickly after the Yellow Jackets hit four threes to open and go up 12-2.
The Blue Devils did fight back, but without Tyrese Proctor, who went out about 70 seconds into the game with an apparent ankle injury. He did not return.
It obviously didn’t help, but it might not have mattered. Georgia Tech played one or two levels above the Blue Devils.
