Who knows. Just keep winning and let the haters feel stupid.
Duke is not "cool" because our style of play isn't cool. We play grind it out games instead of creating steals, getting out on the break and making highlight dunks. '91-92 had Grant Hill, Tony Lang, Brian Davis and Thomas Hill with Hurley as the maestro. This is what we need to get back to. Of course, we need a Hurley-esque pg and we need guys who can defend and run the break like the above-mentioned (a very tall order indeed). However, maybe next year we can get back to that with some improvement from Quinn and Gbinije, Saluaimon, Murphey and perhaps Bazz filling the lanes...
