I'll agree that we have a team to get excited about, but I'll take JJ and Shelden back any day. I'm looking forward to this tourney, even if we are a 3 seed (or higher). We have a team that nobody will want to play, and we have lost enough games this year that we understand that anyone can beat us. I think knowing that will help in the long run, it seems some of the recent teams understood that having "Duke" on the shirt meant easy road to regionals. Of course we haven't been there of late. I'll feel better about our chances with Nolan back able to play. As of Elliot's status, he is reminding me some of Casey Sanders. They don't share positions, but they have a similar scenario where both are/were asked to step up more at the end of the season, and the results are a positive output. This team has been fun to watch evolve, I don't recall seeing so much change in a team recently.
Q "Why do you like Duke, you didn't even go there." A "Because my art school didn't have a basketball team."
