Rolling into a Sunday showdown is our beloved Duke blue devils ready to take on an unlikely foe the Nc state Wolfpack.. the ultimate rubber match with the final four on the line- Duke is currently a 6.5 point favorite but nothing feels safe with the roll state has been on.
I feel confident that the “right” Duke team shows up for this game but state is on such a crazy run you have to wonder if they are just a team of destiny.. hopefully not and they are super content with the run they have had. I think we have a big time win, get revenge, get Jon to final four number 1 AND show Duke players that staying around an extra year can be worth it!
We enter the sweet 16 as a 4.5 point underdog against the undersized but bully ball expert Houston rocke…. I mean cougars. Kenpom has this as the #2 and #5 team playing each other. Yall old timers better get some rest today, some of us young folks might need to as well cuz this will prob be a rock fight!
Do we bring it? That’s the question.. I’m anxious to seeing what Duke team shows up.. if it’s good Duke I really like our chances here
UCONN has proved you do not need the top recruiting class each year. Back to back titles by double digit wins both years. They play beautiful basketball. I liked how Richard Hamilton discussed UCONNS way of running an offense.
A fan for 40 years, we are no longer the standard. Period.
I don't know if Burr is guilty of insider trading or not, nor do I care. However, the wearing of a mask with UNC on it is unpardonable. That alone ought to get him some time in jail. Sorry Richard, hope you wind up in a cell somewhere with a bunch of NCSt and Duke fans...Hey mods , if this is too political , just delete it.
I just want to say I’m proud of this Duke team for getting to the Elite 8. I’d felt more comfortable it we weren’t playing a team of destiny (NC State), but I’m proud of Coach Scheyer in his second season. We won 27 games again with no true center and Mark and Flip having off season surgery. Losing Foster later in the season certainly hurt as well but will be used as fuel for motivation for next season. I like the pieces we have coming in and will be interesting to see who stays and who we get in the portal. I like the direction of the program and think we are on a path to greatness.
Our first 2024 offseason episode is here, featuring next year's backcourt: Caleb Foster and Tyrese Proctor. The veteran guards recap this past season and NCAA Tournament with host Ryan Young and look ahead to the future and how they are looking to improve during the upcoming campaign.
