It will be a looooooong time between games for our guys. We've only played one game from March 4 until Thursday. That means a lot of practice time - time to rest up, get recharged, work on the defense, etc., and maybe change the team's entire approach.
Will Coach K "turn them loose," as I have been hoping for? Let the kids run, trap, and push the ball, and (gasp!) even make a few mistakes in transition? Use the team's underrated depth?
Will Coach K unveil a big lineup with Zoubek (who has gotten noticeably stronger) and McRoberts on the floor more often?
What about that 1-3-1 zone with Lance up top? Will K unleash that?
My point is: there are so many options, and really nothing to lose. Most pundits are overlooking this team, and I worry that many Duke fans are as well.
But our guys are young, athletic, versatile, and full of enthusiasm and pride in wearing "DUKE" across their chest.
And when was the last time we had a team this healthy (knock on wood) heading into the NCAA tournament?? I can't recall.
I can't wait to get started. Next play = VCU.
Go Duke!!!
