    Any Duke guys/rooting interests in TBT?

    With us all still looking for sports to watch, it would be awesome to have a rooting interest in TBT. Anyone know if any former Dukies are playing (I couldn’t find any in a cursory search)?

    Watching now. Last basketball game I watched was Duke/UNC.

    Same. I explained what it was to my wife and she got pretty excited. After five minutes she goes, “These guys kinda suck!” Maybe this is a low-tier game...

    They are guys playing for big money. The competition is fierce, but the level of play isn't NBA.

    Agreed. The fact that it’s more than an exhibition is enough to get my eyeballs for a bit this week!

    We watched 2/8/20 again last night. It's become a wonderful bedtime story here at Casa weezie.
    Nothing incites bodily violence quicker than a Duke fan turning in your direction and saying 'scoreboard.'

    I was wondering the same thing. I scanned the rosters a couple weeks ago and didn't see any Duke guys. Was hoping for someone to root for.

    The Saturday quarterfinals produced some of the weirdest ratings that I have ever seen. I know that the numbers are small and the range of possibilities with rounding could make it less extreme.

    The second game rated .18 in Men 18-49, but only .02 in Women 18-49. It rated .12 in Men 12-34, but only .01 in Women 12-34. Even if it was .176 and .024 and .116 and .014, those would be pretty extreme gender skews for anything on television.
