Friday night sweet 16 thread

7:09- Ole miss vs Michigan State
7:39- Kentucky vs Tennessee
9:39- Michigan vs Auburn
10:09- Purdue vs Houston


Should be a fun slate. Hoping the old head Izzo wins out, Auburn should win as well.


I think the UK UT game will be awesome and I like both teams (I know yall hate them) but I would salivate at the idea of a Duke/Kentucky final four so go cats

Hope Purdue can pull off the win in Indy

NCAAT/Game 38 - Alabama vs. Duke - Elite 8 - 8:49 p.m., 3/29

OK OK OK, I'm awake!

Last night -- really, this morning -- was a late one, but I'm back at it in Newark. We've got interviews today, so I'll be making my way to Prudential Center in the next hour or so (interviews start around 2:50).

I'll have at least one story and a preview up later today/tonight for tomorrow's game.

And then the programming note: I'll be there tomorrow night along with Michael Lewis for complete coverage of Alabama-Duke in the Elite 8.

Transfer Portal

As everyone has seen, sideshow Cadeau is in the portal.

Also Washington from Cheats is in the portal.

I'm seeing on Twitter lots of interest for Donovan Dent from New Mexico for us. Don't know if it's just a reaction from one post then all the others started tweeting about it or if it's legit interest.

Edit: Supposedly C-Well started following Dent on social media

Movies, TV shows you are watching.

Seems like an interesting topic that other boards have. What are you currently watching? Recommendations? Recently I saw Wicked and really enjoyed it. I am also binging American Horror Story and am on season 5; Hotel. I also like British cop shows like Prime Suspect, Cracker, and the Level. Also Inspector Lewis is a good British cop show. Inspector Morse is the original. I liked Yellowstone and 1923 as well.

Class of 2026 football recruiting

Should've started this thread back in August with the first commit (Ayden Cain).

But here it is now after Duke got its second commit of the class, Sean Stover. The big guys tend to commit earlier than skill position guys -- Cain is a DL and Stover is an OL.

There might not be too much in here for the next month or two, but it'll be the go-to dropping spot for football recruiting news soon enough.

Roster construction -- Duke basketball in 2025-26

March has arrived!

I got a little too caught up in the season and probably should've updated this in January. But also, I'm not sure a ton has changed here.

Here's some forecasting of what's going to happen with Duke's roster after this season:

Guaranteed departures
Mason Gillis (eligibility)
Sion James (eligibility)
Cooper Flagg (NBA)
Khaman Maluach (NBA)
Kon Knueppel (NBA)
Spencer Hubbard (eligibility)
Stanley Borden (eligibility)
Neal Begovich (eligibility)

Almost-certain departure
Tyrese Proctor (NBA)

On-the-fence
Isaiah Evans (NBA or transfer)
Caleb Foster (transfer)

**********

Returners (year for 2025-26)
Maliq Brown (Senior)
Darren Harris (Sophomore)
Patrick Ngongba II (Sophomore)
Cameron Sheffield (Senior)

Incoming freshmen (Rivals150 rank)
Cameron Boozer (2), Wing/forward
Shelton Henderson (12), Guard/wing
Cayden Boozer (23), Point guard
Nikolas Khamenia (36), Wing/forward

Incoming transfers

Chris's Coor's and Nathan's Courtside (well TV side) Post Game Observations and Rants/raves.

Just a silly post game observations thread I am starting, with 10 bullet points. Sometimes serious, sometimes not. No Coors or hot dogs tonight. As the Joker says "and here we go."
1. Incarnate Word. Good Lord. Somewhere Jim Boeheim is saying "damn even I never played these guys."
2. Our offense seems to consist of 2 guys standing in each corner, unmoving. My junior high coach ran this play.
3. Mal must have heard my Casey Sanders comment, because he's taking over. Nice job Mal.
4. I like Sion but he might lead the nation in being burned on backdoor cuts.
5. Wow Sion must have read my #4 and gotten mad. 2 beautiful drives.
6. Nice to see Big Pat in there. Foster seems to love exceedingly difficult drives that sometimes goes in.
7. Evans heating up. He is key to us this year. He's Dynomite! (You have to be old to get that)
Ehhh I can't even come up with 10 points. It's Incarnate Word. We won, but looked kind of ho-hum. It's finals week coming off 2 big games. We don't always seem like a cohesive unit. 34% from 3 for the year needs to improve for us to make a deep run. Get Brown back ASAP. George Mason in a week. I commented before the ACC seems so boring this year. Where are the stars? I can hardly name any other ACC players other than UNC and our transfers. Other than Duke the ACC needs to up its recruiting, NIL, and portal transfer game. The SEC challenge painfully drove that point home; that football money is helping those schools. Now get off my lawn you crazy kids. Good night from the beautiful(but cold and dark at 4:30) Pacific Northwest.

Basketball transfer tracker

Something new this season.

Because it's inevitable this comes up, I'll post and pin this thread to track how Duke's transfers are playing this season. It's going to be heavily focused on guys who were on Duke's roster last season because, well, do you really think of Jaemyn Brakefield and Henry Coleman III as former Duke players? (before you ask, yes, they're still playing college basketball)

So, here's the list of the transfers out of Duke from last season's roster and where they're playing this season, broken up by conference:

Jeremy Roach - Baylor
**********
Mark Mitchell - Missouri
**********
Christian Reeves - Clemson
Jaylen Blakes - Stanford
Jaden Schutt - Virginia Tech
TJ Power - Virginia
**********
Sean Stewart - Ohio State
