'When I got on the bus for my first road game at Duke, I saw that every player was carrying textbooks or laptops. I coached in the SEC for 25 years, and I had never seen that before, not even once.' - David Cutcliffe to Duke alumni in Washington, DC, June 2013
Duhon dropped 34 once.
I'm hearing that ESPN will now broadcast the Pelicans/Spurs game on 1/22 at 9:30 EST. The Zion effect.
Didn't Langdon have a big game with the Cavs when they were shopping him?

Reddish with 22 pts, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals in a 1 point victory over San Antonio (8/13 fgs, 5/7 3pt, 1/1 ft).
Reddish has one of his first games that I expected he could be doing every game.It has taken him a long time to reach this point. For Cam's sake he really needs to do this on a consistent basis.

Bob Verga loved his jump shot shooting style. Did he not average 26.1 pts per game (no 3 point shot) at Duke one season. His untimely illness cost the 1966 team a very good shot at a National Championship. I think they had a Sports Illustrated feature on the team with a photo of Verga with a poolstick playing pool.
Mike Lewis Jack Marin and Verga all made the list from the 1966 Final 4 team.

You do you, but after watching Ingram's recent evolution, I've decided that I don't know a darn thing about what I should expect from any of these one-and-one talents.
The only person that knows anything is Jerry West. Everyone else can kick rocks, when it comes to expectations and career projections.
Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?
Quote from yesterday. When did this guy become so unlikeable? I am genuinely embarrassed that he is associated with Duke.
"That's a deeper dive man, I honestly think that it's just probably a tell-tale sign of the career that I've had, some of the moves that I've made individually, and as well as coming to different environments and organizations, at the end of the day I always say it's an entertainment league, we're very drama filled, everything regurgitates on all these media platforms, which is part of our society, I can't really do anything about it, except really be a pillar in our locker room, be very communicative, and when I'm out there with the guys, just impact winning. That's really what it comes down to. It's not like I'm an a**-hole yelling at everybody in the friggin locker room all the time. You hear all these stories. At the end of the day my name was given to me by my grandfather, I'm very grateful, but it's in a lot of people's mouths all the time, it is what it is, I've earned that respect in terms of how great I am as a player, and there's still more goals I want to accomplish in this league, and I can't do it without improving an organization and winning a championship, and that's what it comes down to. So I'm going to continue to push, I'm going to continue to demand greatness out of myself, and demand greatness out of my teammates, and we go from there. If it's harsh as a leader, or if it's too much for anybody, you're not in our locker room, stay the f*** out. It's as simple as that."
You would have hated "I'm the Greatest", Muhammed Ali/Cassius Clay. But he backed it up by being the greatest of his time. Some would say, Kyrie is in the discussion of being one of the greatest point guards. I think Kyrie loves Duke and he was one of the greatest point guards to play at Duke. I just wish he hadn't been injured because I think Duke wins it all in 2011. Matter of fact, Coach K has said he thinks Duke had a good chance to go undefeated that season. That's how good Kyrie was and is.
GoDuke!
