Mad props to Roach. He came up huge for us when we needed him. Yesterday with the 3 and tonight.

Greensboro Coliseum was Roach infested👍
Don’t forget the ladies! Good night! 😁
Wow. What a first year for Jon. Sweep of UNC, ACC Tournament Champs, likely 4 seed.
Yep! He flexed his muscles late and I loved It!
Scheyer did it. Made Mr.Krzyzewski proud.
We got our revenge for that brutal ending last March.
Love you fellas!

What a phenomenal finish to this season. Just incredible. No one wants to see us right now.
Pitt Poker and Koach-Q said Scheyer sucked.
SPREAD THE WORD...DUKE BASKETBALL AIN'T GOING NOWHERE!
Winners! Well done Coach Scheyer....has us peaking at the right time...missed the game but love the result!
No they don’t. And they shouldn’t either. We may be a 4 seed, but not sure we couldn’t be seeded to a 3. What, 9 game winning streak, 24-8. Not like we’ve lost 10 or 11. And some teams ranked higher have been sliding.
Super win. Jon should show them the South Carolina game. Momentum is great but can turn on a dime. Be prepared! Still work to be done!
Short of a first weekend exit I can finally feel good about last year. It sucks we had to feel bad about a final four season because we lost to them. Where are they now?

Just checking in to see if K-oach Q had checked in. OFC
The scary part is we still have upside. Whitehead and Mitchell were quiet, as was Proctor for the most part, and we still won. . Need to get them going again, but they both looked good yesterday.
So proud of this team! Everyone deserves credit!
This team grew up so much. During this streak, we never folded like earlier in the season. We had many leads and teams always made a run at us but we never gave in. Tonight when UVA cut it to 6 then 2 big plays the lead was back to 11. Same with last night. So proud
That said, we can't miss the front end of one and ones deep in the tourney. We were tired at the end. Great experience for our young guys. Proctor got to see what it was like to have the D concentrate on you. (and Roach took advantage haha)
We are absolutely a 4 seed now. Xaiver, Indiana and UVA all lost today. 3 of the 4 four seeds lose and we win the ACC at 26-8, absolutely a 4 seed.
26 and 8 is certainly better than 17-8.
I think Duke, Virginia, Xavier, and Indiana are the 4 seeds. Kansas State drops to a 5.
Did anyone break something when UVA saved the ball on like 4 possessions that looked to be a turnover? Flinging the ball in and it went to the right person every time. I think VA player dribbled the ball on the baseline on that last one.
Key moment of the game, they cut Duke’s lead to six and Duke went on a 5-0 run with a Proctor 3 and Filipowski steal and dunk. (Finally a break out from a steal that Duke converted on after some misses.)
Kudos to Virginia and Tony Bennett, he’s a terrific Coach and they’ve had a fine season and both teams will have more to say next week.
Right now, Duke Blue Devils 2023 ACC Champions!

Im So proud of this team and coach.. this is a big middle finger to all the douche bags that said duke would suck and never do anything again after K retired. Conference champs in year one WITH his own team. So impressive. Go Duke! 6 more baby
I know people were frustrated with Young as he struggled this tournament. But he also held the dam and kept it from becoming a bloodbath when Flip and Lively were in foul trouble. You are not going to sub out two NBA players and not miss a beat.
Amen! Amen! Amen! I was talking with a good friend and fellow fan about this today. No one will ever do what K did, we all realize how amazing the 40+ years were in their totality. But can we not have Bubas Success? Bill Foster success? Vic Bubas went to three Final Fours and won four ACC Championships and had top 10 teams almost every year in that decade in Durham. John Wooden won his first title against Duke in 1964. Bill Foster won the ACC Tournament in 1978 and 1980 and led Duke to the 78 NCAA Championship game. His last team made the elite 8, knocking off Kentucky in the sweet 16 (in Rupp arena of all places).
Duke has won ACC Championships and gone to Final Fours with two non-K Coaches. (Actually Three non-K coaches after tonight’s game when it comes to the ACC.). Duke is too big a name and has too many players in the pros to suddenly wilt away just because the GOAT walked off into the sunset. And too much Tradition to disappear. 4th in wins all time, 5 National Titles, 17 Final Fours, 22 ACC Championships. Too many All Americans and great wins to count. That’s a Hell of a resume.

The team did some more evolving the last two nights, both Miami and Virginia threatened to win the games, The Blue Devils kept their composure and got the jobs done. Something they were not doing consistently from November through January. Keep Growing Blue Devils!
Still want to avoid the 5-12 game. I think we are a 4; but it's not a lock. The wins over Miami and Virginia, 2 top 20 teams, certainly help.
Exactly. Their arc of improvement is still going on, they needed all these games this weekend imo in addition to trying to get the trophy. It was a 2 for 1 essentially. They won the trophy and used the games to get better.
Fixed it for you
In our 9 game win streak we have trailed a grand total of 2:59 in the second half...
I just got home from Greensboro, ladies, and gents!!!!!! What a night!!!!!! I shed a tear right there in the coliseum. I've lost my voice. And had a blast. Way to ****ing go, Jon and this team....shew this is a group of fighters. ACC CHAMPS!!!!!!!!!! LETS ****ING GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
