Thank you all for the quick update! I went from cursing and being in a horrible mood to being giddy with excitement in the span of 48 hours. Thank you all the basketball gods for giving Tre back to us!!!

Duke will soon be back on the road to the final four. Tre means that much to the team and Cam is also a vital part. The Syracuse game saw the confluence of so many items of bad luck. Maybe things will go our way from now on.

Good job as always, guys. I wish you had addressed the pace of play in the Syracuse game and theorized why it was fast, at what's normally our desired pace, as opposed to slow as y'all expected. I'm guessing because they shot so abnormally well (which you did discuss) and we shot so abysmally poor.

Thrilled that Cam will be back for tomorrow's game (might he have had a 24 hour stomach virus?) and that Tre's "outage" will be short lived. I'm sure he wants to play against Virginia, but I'd sure hate for him to get in there (too soon) and injure the AC joint. I'd almost prefer he give it a few more days and wait till Tuesday (Pitt) or next Saturday (GaTech). http://www.crazietalk.net/ourhouse/images/smilies/devil9f.gif

Nice to see a young man who has clearly already accomplished his "career goal."
