Just be you. You is enough. - K, 4/5/10, 0:13.8 to play, 60-59 Duke.
You're all jealous hypocrites. - Titus on Laettner
You see those guys? Animals. They're animals. - SIU Coach Chris Lowery, on Duke
Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

In the list of records do you want to add games lost / gained due to Covid. I say gained because the VT Villanova game was an added game. Ok this may not be a good idea but I am intrigued.
Are kenpom spreads still the same home court advantage as historical years or did he adjust his algorithm? I assume same.
Wednesday games are updated, to reflect two cancellations and the finals in Maui-Asheville

heels looked good on that last defensive set
April 1
The heels looked good in the last 00.1.
I remember Matt Coleman playing against Duke in the PK80 tournament from what had felt like many more than 3 seasons ago. He's one of those guys who feels like he's been in school for 6 years (at least to me). He had a much better game against UNC than he did in that PK80 game.

If I'm not mistaken, we recruited him hard and thought he had a good shot at landing him but ended up with Trevon Duval (even though Coleman committed to Texas first, it seemed likely he knew that Duval was coming). He seems like a great example of a lower-ranked guy who stays multiple years and winds up being a valuable veteran.
Of course, if Coleman had come to Duke then maybe we don't get Tre Jones for those two years. Who knows...
Thursday games are updated (and copied here) - two new matchups showed up at the Mohegan Sun:

Unbelievable end of the 2nd half to send Kent State - UVA to overtime.
Nice win for Georgia Tech against some no account SEC team.
