With 8 minutes plus left in the game, Duke up by 5. Duke misses a three and CBS announcer makes the comment that "had that shot went down it may have been the dagger for LSU" I laughed my ass off when I heard that. No way in hell a team can make up 8 points on the mighty Dookies with only 8 minutes left in the game.:dis: Oh well, all ended well.
being at the game.. i agree with the comment that was made by Bilis... we were reeling and Duke had huge mo after making 3 dunks in a row.... I think we would have had a tough time coming back after that if JJ had made it.
I totally agreed with the announcer. Like Jeff said we were losing momentum big time. Being down 8 would have been hard to come back from. I suppose it was a bit over the top because we still would have had a chance, but that would have really hurt.
I guess that it's just, to me, a "dagger" is the shot or play that makes a comeback absolutely insurmountable, like say, a shot that puts you up by 7 with 10 seconds left to play. It's all semantics.
well, right after jj's miss, darrel went down and hit a 3, so if jj had made the 3 LSU would have been down 5 instead of 2. not that big of a deal. unless you think darrel would have been psyched out of hitting the subsequent 3.
