Austin Rivers and Duke-UNC Provide a Gem

“That’s why I watch sports.”

Those were the words I heard at Buffalo Wild Wings after the dust had settled on Duke’s come from behind victory over archrival North Carolina.  It’s hard to place events in the context of history less than an hour after they occurred, but I don’t think you could find a noticeably better college basketball game if you tried.  And I mean ever.  This game simply had it all.  From start to finish, the game could be equated to the fine art of basketball; just beautiful play from two extremely talented, extremely well coached teams.  The two teams combine for what could be up to eight first round picks, and the talent and passion on display on the floor of the Dean Dome was a treat for all to see.
