Duke's bench had zero points, five boards, zero assists, zero steals, and zero blocks. Gonzaga had several mismatches they were able to exploit, but Coach K kept Gonzaga off balance and out of rhythm by throwing a ton of different looks at them on defense to hide some of those mismatches. He was also quick to stop runs or lapses of defensive intensity with timeouts while I thought Few let things get out of control a couple of times before calling timeout. I think Gonzaga not being in that position before caused them to lose their poise and turn the ball over uncharacteristically. I thought Gonzaga was very impressive on defense, doing a nice job on Okafor and Winslow. That surprised me some. I thought Wiltjer and Karnowski would have more trouble moving their feet to stay in defensive position against Duke's athletes.

Obviously, you disagree and feel Duke was clearly the better team. I'm sure most people do. I think this time of the year has a lot to do with how many times have you been in this position before (especially the coaches).
