Bruce pearl
KNOXVILLE (GaeaTimes.com)- Bruce Pearl came out clear about his mistakes only to pay a hefty $1.5 million price for it.
Baylor and Duke had combined to miss 15 straight shots before Nolan Smith scored on a nifty teardrop from the middle of the lane, giving him a game-high 20 points.
Baylor is doing everything it can to increase the tempo, but Duke is doing an exceptional job of getting back on defense, cutting off the fast-break opportunities and making sure the game is decided in half-court sets.
West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said that injured guard Darryl Bryant, who broke his foot in practice earlier in the week, is getting fit for a shoe that is supposed to take pressure off it.
