    What about locking the thread at the start of CTC, but making it a "sticky". After all, 2010 should remain as "their moment", and the start of this season is time to create the beginning of a "new moment" for this team.

    Love wearing one of my 2010 National Champs shirts to the exhibition game, and my baseball cap, that I purchased in Indy at the Final 4. Got some of the championship team players to sign my ball cap.

    Its going to be Houston or bust...

    I will forever remember my trip to Indianapolis and the 2010 National Championship. The season was incredible. And one that I will never forget.

    Forever the Mens NCAA 2010 NATIONAL CHAMPS!!!!

    Fifth page?!? Yikes.

    Bump.



    And, as much as I look forward to the rematch with Butler this year, I think the Michigan State game is going to be a classic. I wonder how the game would have come out if the Spartans had beaten Butler, and we had faced off with Izzo for the NC.

    It would have been interesting. Don't forget that before we play State, we have a matchup vs. K State in Kansas City (assuming they beat the Zags, of course). That will NOT be easy, and will be a good test even before MSU. I mean, they are #3 in the country for a reason. I actually think that will be the tougher of the two matchups since it's earlier, only a one day turnaround (play vs. Marquette the previous day), and in a hostile environment. I think we blow out MSU at home a la the 2003-04 season. And, back to the topic, 2010 National Champs!!! woo hoo!!

    Excellent points. I don't think the MSt game will be a blow-out, though. Izzo plays physical, and they have a lot to prove in this game. I'm not sure exactly what they bring back, but I am assuming that they wouldn't be ranked as high as they are if they were too young or inexperienced. Should be a war.


    (And, although I want to win every game, I don't mind the outcome of either as long as we progress from them).

    This had dropped to page 15 -- can't just let it die yet. I need my NCAA National Championship fix. The 2010 team will live forever! There were many ups, and a few downs last year. From my perspective:

    Biggest downer -- Mason's injury, which greatly slowed his freshman development

    Worst game -- Georgetown, with the President in attendance

    Best game -- West Virginia

    Most significant game -- Butler (duh!)

    Most important game -- Baylor (got us back to final 4 and validated our return to greatness)

    And of course, we were all heartbroken about the tragedy in Andre's family, which still, and will always, define the closeness of this team.

    And what a great "team" -- so much better than the sum of its parts.

    If only the 1999 team could have been such, what might have been.

    The 1999 team will go down for me as one of the most dominant teams in college basketball not to win the title. When that year started, I was never more sure of a National Championship team then that one. That is why we must always remember as good as this years team is there is never a guarantee. As we learned last season it truely takes a team to win a National Championship!! 2010 FOREVER.

    Highlight of the Year

    When I reflect back on 2010, the highlight of my year is that wonderful ball bouncing off the backboard and falling....out. Never thought I would see my team win live - even changed the way I look at the world some I'm kind of embarrassed to say.

    I returned to this thread as it seems only right that it should be at the top of the Board as one of the best years in Duke basketball history comes to an end! I'll do my part to keep it there.

    Happy Blue Year!

    I'm kind of bummed that 2010 is coming to an end. Since January ended, our beloved Blue Devils have gone 30-1 and provided us with many lasting memories. May 2011 bring many more! Go Duke!

    Championship redux

    Last night's Michigan State - Wisconsin game ended in an eerily similar fashion to last year's Duke - Butler championship game. MSU scored to take a 1 pt lead with about 30 seconds left in overtime. MSU played great defense to force a tough shot that missed and MSU rebounded and was immediately fouled with ~2.2 seconds left. MSU hit both foul shots, leaving them up by 3, but Wiscy had the time to set up an out of bounds play. On that play there was a crushing pick set (this time on the man guarding the in-bounder) to set up a pass that went to near half court where the Wiscy player took and missed a 3-pt try from almost the exact same spot as did Hayward.

    Not to reopen the old miss or make the second free throw debate, but it was interesting to see Izzo make the opposite choice as K did in the championship game. There were a couple of key differences though. MSU was playing at home plus one of the key Wiscy players had already fouled out so Izzo likely wasn't quite as concerned about a possible 2nd overtime.

    As similar as the scenario's were (I immediately thought of it as Michigan State walked to the foul line), there is pretty much no decision since Wisconsin had a timeout. If Izzo tries to do what Coach K did, Wisconsin could simply grab the rebound and call timeout, leaving them in the same scenario as if MSU made it, except down two instead of three. Butler having no timeouts left was a key part of Coach K's thinking.

    Good point - I forgot about the timeout situation.
