No. 1 Duke routed by No. 25 Miami 90-63

<snip>

"With a steady din coming from the sea of orange behind the visitors' basket, No. 1 Duke had a tough time making a shot.

The Blue Devils went more than 8 minutes without a field goal in the first half Wednesday night, and a sellout became a blowout for No. 25 Miami, which delighted a boisterous crowd with a 90-63 victory.

The defeat was the third-worst ever for a No. 1 team. The last time Duke lost a regular-season game by a bigger margin was in January 1984."

Duke looked inept. They can't possibly be that bad, but they are also clearly not a top 5 team.

Clearly way over-rated...got #1 on name alone...oh, and the fact that there is no one dominant team this year...lots of really goo teams, but no one who's a big favorite to win it all.
