    Beach reading

    I had somewhat recently read the Jack Carr (James Reece) books. Loved them. The 5th and final is to be mailed to my house later this month. I plan to read it on my flight to South Africa next month.

    NCAA tournament practice

    I have been to the 1st/2nd round games at random sites for 20 years straight and I have gone to the practices various times. It is pretty cool. Usually nothing too intense but fun to watch some of their drills and see them staying loose and having fun. It is generally very laid back and you...

    Underachieving this year?

    I understand the frustrations with Duke this year. But, in the end, Duke is still 22-4. At the beginning of the year I thought, If Coach K can get to 1200 wins we will have had a very successful season. We need to get 30 wins this year to get Coach K to 1200. Duke is now 8 wins shy of this...

    Schedule is here

    My bad. I was looking at the schedule on ESPN. They don't show those games.

    Schedule is here

    Am I seeing this correctly that they have a 2 week break with a game on Saturday, January 9th and then the next game on Saturday, January 23rd? Is this a built in break to have openings for possible rescheduled games due to COVID cancellations? Or is there another reason for this break...

    What sport would you pick over any other sport

    College basketball easily for me. I love watching college basketball. I pretty much watch every Duke game but I watch a ton of other games as well. College basketball MLB College football NFL Good topic.

    Alex is gone

    Best of luck to Alex. I wouldn't at all be surprised to see him have a big year next year no matter where he goes.

    Rankings and Seeding

    It'll be interesting to see what the injury to Creighton's Marcus Zegarowski does to their seeding. Creighton has been playing pretty tough. I expect Duke to be a 2 seed when it's all said and done. I don't see them worse than a 3 seed. But I have a tough time envisioning them earning a 1...

    IVY league cancels conference tournament

    The Ivy League just started with a conference tournament in 2017. Like you said, before that, the automatic bid was awarded to the regular season champion. Yes, it is a bummer for those other teams who had aspirations of making the Big Dance.

    IVY league cancels conference tournament

    Imagine that....The "smart" guys overreact and do the "dumb" thing and cancel the tournament. My opinion anyways. If you aren't healthy then you should be careful and limit yourself to exposure. If you are healthy, take the same precautions that you would or should all the time anyways...

    Tourney tix

    My son and I are headed to the 1st and 2nd rounds in Tampa. We are both getting pretty excited.

    Coronavirus

    Man....I am praying nothing gets cancelled. My son and I are flying to Tampa for the 1st and 2nd rounds. And then my family along with 3 other families are flying to Disneyland in early April. And I am then flying to South Africa in June. I honestly don't travel a whole lot but I have these...

    Sometimes, it's just not your night.

    Thanks. Duke fan from Montana. I have been a Duke fan since I really became a college basketball fan. Late '80's I would say. I can't even tell you how I first became a Duke fan but I love it. My wife is a Duke fan too (probably because of me). And my kids are big Duke fans too. It's so...

    Sometimes, it's just not your night.

    Speaking of Scheyer and leaders; I don't know what everyone else thinks, but I love watching Jon Scheyer on the bench. He always looks so calm and confident. I loved watching him play. I could just envision him last night with imaginary thought bubbles thinking, Man...put me in coach. I...

    Sometimes, it's just not your night.

    Momma said there'd be days like this! Yep...That was a tough loss. But I am not losing hope and faith at all. I still believe Duke is one of the best teams if not THE best team in the country. NC State shot great. Duke struggled to get the ball in the hole; even on some decent looks the...

    Has anyone read The Brotherhood by Jay Bilas?

    I have mixed feelings on Jay Bilas. I feel like the tide is turning in the negative direction about him for me now. Maybe part of it for me as I am an official and maybe a little old fashioned. I do feel like he criticizes the officials a decent amount. And I also feel that he comes across...

    ***DUKE VS FLORIDA STATE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

    I say Duke wins 77-71. I actually like this schedule. While I do think it is brutal, I think it is a great preparation to try and simulate the Tournament situation. I think it is a very likely scenario that Duke has to win an emotional game on a Thursday and come back 2 days later to win...
