Watched the Crazies, a decent horror flick. The remake. Gonna put on battlestar Galactica now. "Even now there may be brothers of man fighting for survival far across the universe." My favorite show as a kid. It holds up pretty well. From 1978.

All I can say is I hope the NCAA gets the portal in check. NIL in check. And get rid of these 23-25 and 5/6 year players and it may get back to somewhat normal... Then we will start to see non superstar freshman players matter more. More emphasis on true development and team building and more of the norm... I would just love to see true Duke Development of our players like the old days. Mix good system pieces with star freshman... Takes full Buy-in though.

I like the direction Scheyer has Duke going. He’s smart and will continue to Evolve.

3 Seasons at The Helm
2 undefeated seasons at Cameron Indoor Stadium
1 ACC Regular Season Championship
2 ACC Tournament Championships
2 Elite 8s
1 Final 4

Duke will continue to be Fine

I'm not the biggest OAD fan in the world but we did just go to the final four. I think we came closer with the transfers this year than we usually do.

Clayton Jr is special. Enjoy watching him. Duke had a guard of his caliber exactly 10 years ago. But no worries; another teenager on the way to save the day!

Hey Kelvin, we heard “defense this and defense that” It was Florida’s defense though that mattered in the end.

I hate the whole SEC and I live in Florida, so it sucks watching someone else win our championship. We will be back ladies and gentlemen! Considering the leap we made this year, I think there's a scenario where we are back next year!

The way Duke recruits I'm not so sure. The freshman model is quickly becoming a dinosaur. We will probably never see a freshman class like this again and didn't get squat from it. Duke better revisit how they want to build a team in the future.

I hope so.

Maybe they didn't run enough laps.

Houston went from the penthouse to the outhouse. Didn't even get a shot off last possession. Houston led the whole game

No need to watch sports at this point. In the Houston-Duke game the fouls were literally even... Of course Houston was called for almost double the amount of fouls against Florida. ....

I can't stand either coach or team.

Congrats to Florida. I will shed no tears over Houston losing.

I wish they penalized Sampson everytime he circled his finger in disgust and the call was actually correct on the court.

I want Proctor back because we need some continuity. Proctor can be frustrating but he is not that far from being an elite guard. Who knows what Foster is going to do. We need program guys that will stay. Pat, Evans, Brown. Proctor. I think we caught lightning in a bottle this year, mostly due to Cooper and Kon; returning only 2 guys is normally not a recipe for major success.
***Just checked the score Houston up 6 on Florida. Now tied.
Did Sampson really refer to the ACC as a toy poodle league? Damn.

In fairness, I'm not sure Sampson was referring to the Acc. I think he was saying that they dominated a great conference. I think the Big 12 was grossly overrated this year. That being said, I think he was touting his conference, not dogging ours.

Jon is smart, and will win a lot of games, but he got out coached by Sampson. Simple as that. No substitutions were made to give our main guys a break in the 2nd half, and it showed. Kon didn’t play like a lottery pick down the stretch. Other than a few free throws, he didn’t do much in the 2nd half. But he plays at Duke, so he’s a lottery pick and I doubt we see him as a tougher sophomore.
I’m not trying to hate on Proctor, but I just don’t get people hoping he stays. He wilts under pressure, and his ball handling is actually below average for a guard.

In spite of all that, we still should have won because we had Cooper. He’s that freaking good.

Anyone know if there are any players from south Sudan in the NBA? If there are any, just wondering how it's being handled with them
