Duke came into Tuesday night with a target on their back, and Michigan State made them feel every bit of it. Jeremy Fears Junior put on a show for the Spartans, racing out early and never looking back in a statement upset win over the second-ranked Blue Devils. The preseason hype was real.
Speaking of Duke taking a hit, the Blue Devils weren't the only blue blood feeling the pain Tuesday. Number three Illinois also went down, dropping a tough one at Texas Tech after digging themselves an early hole they simply couldn't climb out of. Two top-three teams losing on the same night — November is starting to feel a lot like March.
And over in Philadelphia, Jaylen Brown had a night he'd probably like to forget. He snubbed Jayson Tatum before tipoff, and things only spiraled from there. Paul George hit a dagger with five minutes left, Tatum celebrated in his face, and Brown's confusion on a busted coverage told the whole story. The Celtics made it hurt.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
