First off the crowd was great. Damn near even for Cyclones/Blue Devils but I'll give ISU the edge 55% to 45%. I wonder if this was actually scheduled as a home game for us though, because we supplied the PA announcer and all the big screen highlights were ISU related. Cameron crazies these chicago blue devils are not. I wasn't expecting extreme loudness but most of their fans didn't even get on their feet for big plays. Maybe it should just be chalked up to not really being challenged most of the game. ISU fans except for one (drunk guy yelling at teenaged duke fans for no reason) represented well and were loud without being too vulgar.
As for the game I personally think our guys were tired out by the as advertised Duke man to man. Those guys play in your jersey and by the 2nd half both Garrett and Colvin were too tired to create off the dribble penetration. Lucca might not be suited for starting right now, he was a non factor on offense and Christopherson brings much more to the table than sitting in a corner hoping for a pass.
Anyway I hope they schedule a game at the UC again, I really enjoyed it.
