    MBB: The 2025 Transfer Portal

    If only Flagg and Knueppel had stayed the lineup could be Cayden, Caleb, Kon, Cooper and Cameron. An iteration of alliteration never to be topped!

    Shelton Henderson has decommitted.

    As regards #3, be careful what you wish for. If we all "accept it and adjust", traffic on this board will be down approximately 88%.

    Who Stays, Who Goes

    Mike, my philosophy only in this reply, you and others may differ, but . . . My wife of 38 years once asked me why men in general, and I in particular, like women's breasts. I answered that I didn't even want to think about that, I just wanted to continue enjoying them. I feel the same about...

    Caleb Foster returning to Duke for 2025-26 Season

    I love it! Resiliency is a HUGE factor in life, and Caleb has it. I think he's going to work hard in the off season and come back better next season. The way he persevered in the headwinds of what seemed to be a severe loss of confidence to get back into being a solid contributor in both...

    lol why are you even tormenting yourself with the idea that others are tormenting themselves with the idea that Flagg and Kon would come back (Your turn.)

    Is Duke basketball bigger than the national championship?

    Even if the answer to your question is "maybe", if we stop winning championships often enough, the answer clearly will become "no".

    Who Stays, Who Goes

    There are lots of things that go into basketball "strength" other than measurable strength and bulk/mass, although both of these can count. Balance, angles, adjusting your center of gravity, weight distribution -- all of these can combine to make you "stronger" on the court than someone who...

    Duke Men’s 2025-2026 discussion

    Respectfully, this was not even close to biggest problems with Houston. Number 1 was we somehow only made on field goal in the last 10 minutes of the game or so. Number two, we didn't get enough defensive rebounds.

    MBB: Duke vs. Houston (NCAAT, Sat 4/5, 8:49pm ET, CBS) Pregame and In-Game Thread

    If you are as unhinged as I am watching a Duke Final Four game, I suggest buying an ample supply of your favorite libation, taking it to your hotel room, and turning on the TV.

    MBB: Duke vs. Houston (NCAAT, Sat 4/5, 8:49pm ET, CBS) Pregame and In-Game Thread

    Very good analysis. Some reasons for optimism. After re-watching the Baylor game, another thing that Duke does gives me some hope: Once Norchad got his second foul, Duke would screen (if necessary) until Omier was on Flagg. Then Flagg would take him to the area around the top of the key, and...

    Final Four Roll Call

    Final Four is great fun, and a great weekend, I've been lucky enough to go to several. (Sadly, every one I've been to that Duke was in, we lost, including 1999 and the great Front Line Foul Out game against UConn.) Unless, however, you are lucky enough to score really good seats, you will see...

    Final Four Roll Call

    I'm a Miami area resident but don't know of any Duke friendly (or unfriendly, for that matter) sports bars. Miami in general is a bandwagon town and totally not into college sports except when UM is good in football. I'd invite you to my house for drinks, food and rooting purposes but I'm not...

    Agree with ehog here. Still, he's only one blitzer.

    I'm unfamiliar with "typo humor". What typo humor is that?

    Jon Killed the Elephant In The Room: Lets talk about our Coach

    I have no problem with people being wrong either. I've actually been wrong once or twice in my life. :) But it annoys me when folks announce their opinions with an air of absolute infallibility and ridicule anyone who disagrees. Especially in an area as inherently unpredictable as sports.

    Jon Killed the Elephant In The Room: Lets talk about our Coach

    l also disagree. I appreciate your plea to kindness, and totally agree that we should enjoy the moment (which I am doing, with great glee). I am, however, sick to death of people in this world who have an opinion (everyone's right), but pronounce it to everyone who doesn't agree with that...
