No. 1 seed Duke had a comfortable lead over No. 16 seed Robert Morris in the second half Friday, and everything was just peachy.
Then, Jahlil Okafor had to go and ruin it all.
The Blue Devils held a 19-point advantage over the Colonials in their NCAA Tournament matchup when Okafor cruised in for an uncontested dunk attempt. It didn’t go well, and coach Mike Krzyzewski wasn’t happy.
Probably should have gone with the standard-variety slam, Jahlil. As we mentioned, the ACC Player of the Year heard about his mishap from his coach.

The blooper also gave Robert Morris some life, as the Colonials went on a 10-0 run shortly thereafter. In the end, though, Duke was able to overcome its star player’s atrocious dunk attempt and cruise to an 85-56 win.
