This unacceptable stat from the Duke loss to Texas Tech can't happen again

The Duke Blue Devils suffered their first loss of the season, and it was by just one point at the hands of the Texas Tech Red Raiders.

The game was as close as possible, but one stat line shows that the Blue Devils were pretty much asking for the loss, failing to produce give-me shots that could have pushed Duke ahead of Texas Tech on the score sheet.

Throughout the 82-81 loss, Duke shot just 59 percent from the free-throw line, missing 12 shots from the charity stripe that literally could have made the difference in the final score.
