With all the ups and downs of the season I have to say this has turned out to be one of the more fun Duke teams to watch. I have seen many very talented Duke teams fold up shop when they would get down 10 late in the game, not this team. Playing undermanned and battling thru injuries and finishing the ACC season with the record they did just soltifies K is the best coach in any sport period. People need to step back and enjoy having this guy on the sidelines cause it's not going to last forever. Get ready for Wednesday and the ACC tourney. It will be fun

Yep, roller coaster are the best rides and they are full of ups and downs, this has been a fun team to watch. They do fight hard unlike that some teams like you mentioned, like that Jabari Parker team.
I'm with you, Duhon. I've enjoyed watching this team, and love their incredible toughness. Looking forward to the ACC, and the NCAA's.

Great post op. The Jabari/Rodney team would have folded up, this team is mentally tough, just short on guys. Its us against the world, the next few weeks should be a fun ride.
That is exactly the way I would phrase it. This team is a group of fighters Duke fans should be proud of.
This team hasn't given up and they fight their asses off every night. I will not give up on them and I'm one hundred percent behind them until our last game in the dance, whichever round that may be. I'm not gonna predict which round I think we go out. I'm just gonna enjoy the ride and cheer my *** off for these young men. This team has more heart than any I can remember. It's tourney time. Let's go boys!!!!!!

It's been a wild ride, no doubt, but I think you had to expect it, and while at times its been tense it was mostly damn fun to watch. We went 11-7 in conference. Sure we dropped a couple we probably shouldn't have, but we lost several games by one possession and we beat 3 of the top four teams in the conference. We were a possession and a missed free throw away from sweeping UNC.....again. And I guarantee there isn't a team in the nation from top to bottom that wants to see Duke in their bracket for the NCAAT.
Go Duke!!!!

It's always more fun to watch a team that will Battle (!) until the end. These kids have given us so much to be proud of, especially in today's world, where there are so many problems.
Sadly, the only problem I have had with this team is the fact that they have been, and continue to be, just one (1) player short of contending for #6! I'm not just being bias or blowing smoke, I really believe that if we had another of our bigs step up, we could win it all. Granted, that big would have to really step up, but these kids have proven that they can play with anyone. We are probably just flat going to run out of gas (not heart) in both Tourneys.
Been a really good year, my thanks to these great kids for all the enjoyment they have given me, and I will be with them until the very end.
Go Duke!!
