SignUp Now!Yeah we really need to enjoy this. Duke will never, ever have a front court like this ever again. Probably won't have a senior this good ever again.Regardless of what happens from here, this has easily been one of the most enjoyable non-title seasons in the last decade or so, right up there with 2013. After the St. John's/UNC debacles, many of us were thinking it was going to rival 2014 in terms of shittiness, so the past month has been nice.
Yeah I enjoy watching this team, even with the cold stretches. It's a unique one in Duke history that probably won't be replicated in our lifetimes. I will miss seeing them take the court if Sunday is the last of the year.
We were lucky he even stuck around. In today's sports climate I just don't se many potential all Americans hanging around for their senior seasons. We have absolutely zero on the horizon.Yeah we really need to enjoy this. Duke will never, ever have a front court like this ever again.

Never have a senior this good ever again? If you are counting his sophomore year as his senior year, maybe. Plus with the upcoming NBA eligibility change, we will have senior-laden teams again in the near future.
Didn't realize that. Interesting.I just learned that we are 2-6 in games decided by five points or less. We beat Florida by three points, lost six straight, and then won last night.

CK, maybe you can verify this, but for all the grief Duval takes, he seems super vocal in team huddles at the FT line, during ball stoppages, etc.
Like more vocal than Allen.

Kansas game will depend entirely on their big guy Udoka Azubuike (or however you spell his name) being in the game and avoiding foul trouble. He also looked quite winded by the end of the game yesterday and seemed to be a little hobbled.
Graham seemed like a guy who really lets the game to come to him and doesn't force up bad looks. He had like 4 points at halftime but still had a big game.
I will say it wouldn't surprise me if KU got up by 12-14 points only to choke in the end. The KU fans around me kept saying "oh my god we're going to fucking choke this lead". This was when they were still up 14 points. Their fans didn't feel confident until the buzzer ended.
Hopefully KU has a shitty 3 point game and they get the giant out of the game with foul trouble.

How raucous would you say the crowd was ? Is this like a real Kansas home game or is it much more muted because of the arena size ?
