If you’ve been paying attention (and we always assume you have), you are fully aware that point guard John Wall (right), the top rated high school player in the nation (our nation, in case you were unsure) visited our beloved Duke Blue Devil’s coaching staff this past Sunday. This of course was not Wall’s first [...]

It’s Recruiting, Stupid
It’s been four days and I can finally allow myself back onto my own site. After a blowout defeat by Villanova, I needed to take a break, sit back, relax and let results of that game and this season sink in. Now I’m fresh and ready to look back at what we saw and what [...]

ACC Bitch Slapped in the NCAA
After two days of basketball, it’s almost hard to believe that prior to the start of the 2009 NCAA Tournament, we were actually discussing which conference was the best; the ACC conference or the Big East?
That debate is no longer happening. Now I’m not even sure the ACC is as good as the PAC-10 or [...]

Day Two, In the Books
Now that’s more like it. After a pretty mundane first day, Friday brought some excitement. Sure there were the usual near-gigantic upsets (I’m looking at you Pittsburgh & Kansas) that didn’t pan out, but we saw No 4 Wake Forest not only get beat, but embarrassed by Cleveland State. We also saw two 12 seeds [...]

Lance Stephenson to Maryland?
Five-star shooting guard, Lance Stephenson, who was once on Duke’s radar last summer, said he has picked a college, but won’t say who until the McDonald’s game. Although he won’t say which school won him over, he said the three finalist were Kansas, Maryland and St. Johns.
From Five Boro Sports:
Stephenson, who, along with teammate Darwin [...]

Day One, In the Books
Talk about a tease of a day. There looked to be some amazing upsets on the verge of happening. Memphis was down six with ten to play, but it wasn’t meant to be. American had Nova by 14, but couldn’t keep ‘em off the line. North Iowa rallied late, but came up short. Four lower [...]

One Down, Five to Go
I think we got what we expected, right? The Binghamton Bearcats kept it sort-of close for about a half, down only 11, but Duke came out in the second half smoking, taking a 26-point lead thanks to a solid 17-2 run. The game never got close again.
Overall I’m happy, but I would have liked to [...]

Hey Coach, maybe I should watch the video next time
This is an update to our original post about Coach K’s response to Obama’s bracket.” When I posted on it, I had only read the quote on CNN. Here it is:
“Somebody said that we’re not in President Obama’s Final Four, and as much as I respect what he’s doing, really, the economy is something that [...]

Ballsy 2009 Tournament Predictions | Final Four
Welcome to the second annual ‘Ballsy Tournament Predictions’. We’ve finally made it to the Final Four. It has been a strange trip to get to this point. You see, I don’t begin this project with a planned Final Four and then work my way to it. Instead, I literally take it day-by-day. I do round [...]

Hey Coach, Worry about Binghamton and not the President
Update can be found here.
Today, Coach K decided to go into douche bag mode and comment on President Obama’s Final Four Prediction.
“Somebody said that we’re not in President Obama’s Final Four, and as much as I respect what he’s doing, really, the economy is something that he should focus on, probably more than the brackets,” [...]
