Duke makes it to the Sweet 16 for the 12th time in 14 years
The 73-71 victory against Michigan also represents coach Mike Krzyzewski’s win No. 900.
Losing is always painful and frustrating, and one is subject to how the defeat takes place to determine the magnitude of the impact in the losing side. If we take a look at how the No. 8 seeded Michigan Wolverines’ 73-71 lost to No. 1 Duke Blue Devils in the third round we could tell that it was one of the worst ways of losing, for a crunch time shot could have send all of the sadness and impotence to the defending champions’ side, if that last shot -of course- would have gone inside the basket.
With the clock at 8.7 seconds to the end, the score box in 73-71, and Nolan Smith in the free throw line taking his second attempt after scoring the first one, the Wolverines needed him to miss and grab the ball as soon as possible to take a crunch time shot that could either send them to overtime or win the game there instantly.
Will the Duke ever be Finished?
The gaming community would have never expected the game “Duke Nukem Forever” to come out. It is a sequel to the FPS classic game “Duke Nukem 3D”. It took forever to completely develop DNF. After about a dozen years, being constantly reworked from nothing, gamers thought that it really would take forever to come out, if it would really come out. Undoubtedly, a lot of mishaps and blunders after another came up before the game reached where it currently is.
It all began with John Romero and his game development company, which made a ridiculous amount of money on “Doom” and “Duke Nukem 3D.” There was enough money, in fact, to bankroll the company’s operations and expansion for a decade without putting out another game. The idea behind the company’s philosophy was that it focused on the designer almost entirely. This meant that the creative minds behind the game took near-total control of any project handed to them, without having to deal with executives from game publishers meddling with their product or imposing a definite release date on the team.
