I really, really hate stuff like that. I mean... what's the point?
Saturday Night Live just ran an ad for a video "NCAA Tourney: Best of the White Guys" and NOT A SINGLE CLIP WAS OF A DUKE PLAYER!
They showed white guys hustling, throwing crisp bounce passes, helping teammates up from the floor, checking in at the end of a blow-out, congratulating the player who hit the game winner, and even trying to dance. But no Duke player?
Inconceivable.

I wish Lorne M would give Marshall some more AT. He has comedic timing that you just can't teach. I love Josh Hairston, and he's good at positioning and blocking on stage. But he's just not a funny sketch actor.
I guess they save all their Duke attention for Fallon's show. He must have some former holes on his staff.
Nothing incites bodily violence quicker than a Duke fan turning in your direction and saying 'scoreboard.'
This thread deserves an very early death. Please!
"Passion Over Talent: The Charges of Tyler Hansbrough"
It was at the end of the fake commercial.
Yes, but Spike Albrecht makes a starring appearance. So I'm satisfied.

In fairness, if Duke had been in the tournament a bit longer, they might have made the skit. Sigh....
People still watch SNL?

Yes. Although I admit I didn't see the original skit, some of the things the OP described--such as congratulating a teammate after a good shot or coming in at the end of a blowout--could certainly have been done by white players at Duke this year--and Marshall's dancing is legendary.
