Duke wins Epic Battle over Wisconsin with late Run!!!

The Duke Blue Devils are the 2015 NCAA College Basketball Champions.  In a game that went back and forth like a see saw for most of the time, the Blue Devils wore down the Badgers and took control in the last couple of minutes to pull out a 68-63 win. It was an impressive win for Duke as they relied heavily on its freshmen, especially late in the game and they didn't disappoint anyone! Duke won their 5th NCAA Title in 9 tries under Coach Mike Krzyzewski, and He was a Master of  preparing his team for the taller Badgers as well as doing an incredible job late in the 1st half when 2 of his starters were in foul trouble and he changed defenses and players around and instead of Wisconsin pulling away during those final 3 minutes, Duke actually closed the gap and went into halftime tied at 31 apiece.  Most games are won when the coach make adjustments at half time and this game was no exception. Coach K had his freshmen do nothing but dribble penetrate in the 2nd half and Wisconsin had no answers for them. It was the guard play of Duke that wore down the Badgers and propelled the Blue Devils to the late comeback victory. It was a stunning defeat for the Badgers who had their best season ever in wins as this was a game that they should of won if they had done the things they did all year long but uncharacteristically they make costly turnovers, took bad shots, didn't play good defense for periods of time, took too many fouls in the 2nd half and got worn down late in the game. Duke was a much faster and more athletic team and they made their FT's and clutch shots when they needed to and that was the difference. So the NCAA Tournament has come to an end and there was cheering and heartbreak for both Teams, Fans and those who still had a chance to win their NCAA Tourney Brackets. NCAA Cat Analyst Joey Boloney finished the NCAA Brackets with a 57-6 record. A remarkable record for sure. So farewell to all those who were part of the NCAA March Madness and Joey Boloney the Cat says He will see everyone in the late Fall with his Pre-Season Top 15.  @cupofjoeinthed
