John Wooden's bagman was Sam Gilbert. It is widely known that this guy was one of the great cheaters in sports history. That is why Bobby Knight never respected Wooden.

That about sums it up. I thought Tony Akins was a great guard. He was small and very quick. He was also a pretty good shooter.

I think the ceiling is the roof with him.

I think Wright compares with James Forest. They both dunk(ed) the ball very hard. Alvarado is like Tony Akins.

Duke is better without him. Although it probably doesn't need to be said by an opposing coach.

Brutal 4th quarter. Only 2 points on 2 free throws. Missed every shot.

The point is, this win didn't strike me as impressive like the Kentucky win, the first Clemson win, or the FSU win. This one falls in the category of "sometimes it is better to be lucky than good." This is the way I view many of Duke's close home wins: not impressive. In any event, we did...

Did we win or did Pitt lose. Pitt missed half of its free throws and we got the benefit of unearned free throws from a silly technical foul. This is what Duke must feel like after a close home win.

Ted Valentine is an equal opportunity abuser. He threw Bobby Knight out of a game. He threw an Auburn fan out of a game. He has had run-ins with North Carolina players, the Cincinnati coach, you name it. College basketball can get a little dry at times. It needs this guy and his theatrics.

Ted Valentine. I love this guy. I like his antics, I like his attitude. He adds an entertainment element that is sorely missing from most athletic events.

Perhaps I spoke too soon.

This is going to be a long night.

My guess is Jose will hire an agent that specializes in European leagues. He should be able to get a 2 year deal on a second tier European club team. The salary will not be very good, but it will be all expenses paid. He can take his family on a multi-year European vacation and get the...

If we win all remaining regular season games, that will give us 17 wins. I think that will get us an NCAAT bid. Anything short of that and I can only hope there is an NIT.

This game is giving me COVID.

I hope we don't lose by 30.

The Fab5 never won it all.

Alade Aminu is also on the team. That makes three former Tech players.

Jordan Goldwire, local guy from Norcross High, also played 35 minutes. He was a low 3 star that was recruited as a practice player and made the most of it.
