Schadenfreude

Give it up to Gregg Doyel, who twice made the prediction I couldn't convince myself to make - LSU beating Duke. (Although I did bite the bullet in ACC Basketblog's pool. Take a look at that entry quickly, because it'll look real ugly after this weekend.) And they lost the same way they've lost all season, with a hand in J.J. Redick's face and no one around to help Sheldon Williams. The other five Blue Devils - and there were only five - put up 28 shots total, making seven.

It will be interesting to see how the boys in evil blue fare next year. Caulton Tudor puts them third and seems to expect a big improvement from DeMarcus Nelson. But Boston College looks to lose one star player to the Blue Devil's two, and I'm not sure slotting the Eagles behind them is a wise move. A lot depends on the incoming freshmen and what Krzyzewski does with them. It'll be a fun season to watch.

And I have to thank CBS and Getty Images for this. A better image to end the Duke season couldn't have been asked for.
