Who knows, maybe they'll emerge from the adversity a better and closer team than had all this not happened. I know everybody loves to say there's no such thing as a good loss or that you can learn just as much from winning as you do from losing but I'm not sure that's true. I think in basketball, just like in life, adversity and struggle can help a person see and approach things differently and be better off for it. Having to go through hell and fight through it can teach a person a lot. But there is a flip side, it can also crush a person. It just depends on the individual.

This is truly the one thing we don't know, I've been saying that a lot over the last couple weeks. How a person responds to adversity, pressure, difficulties in life or in sport- everyone is different, and we do not yet know what these guys are made of. We'll find out.

I don't know any of the names you speak of. My info doesn't come from anybody related to the Duke program.
