Slow Watching The Second Half Of The Duke-Ohio State Game
: Ohio State Buckeyes forward Kyle Young (25) drives past Duke Blue Devils forward Paolo Banchero (5) during the first half of the NCAA men’s basketball game at Value City Arena in Columbus on Tuesday, Nov. 30, 2021.Normally we slow watch the first half first but in this case we thought we’d watch the second half of the Duke-Ohio State game first. And what did we learn?
Well, even late, it was a winnable game - but Duke wasn’t going to win it. What we missed, and usually check, is that Ohio State has nine seniors.
Essentially, an experienced team just punched a young team in the mouth. It’s a good lesson. Duke may end up thanking Ohio State for it later.
