Tears For Coach K

[jibsey]

Last home game, the crowd is cryin'. I'm loving this. Drop them to a 7 seed.

 

[Northbound]

Must say i am taking perverse pleasure in this - irrational exuberance.

 

[Rocktheworld]

Man having all the former players in to see it is just chef’s kiss

 

[nwhoopfan]

You couldn't script this any better! As much as Duke fans hate Carolina, for the Heels to come in and ruin K's last ever home game is just about the greatest thing to ever happen!

Someone has to have the old Duke picture with the kid crying.

 

[jibsey]

Duke fans fought and clawed to be in the arena for this. Players came from everywhere. Brutal.

This definitely popped into my mind. I almost felt bad as they were panning thru the crowd...but then I remembered they are Duke fans.

Can't wait to see the downfall of Duke under Scheyer over the next few years. They may deny it, but no legend is ever followed by someone just as good

What are the ranking numbers of the new recruits and players staying?

Just because a coach can recruit, doesn't mean they're good at coaching in a game...

 

[UConnJim]

Lots of pressure on the Duke kids and no pressure on UNC and that was the difference.

This is just a little more fuel to a long lasting fire between two of the greatest rivals in college basketball.. hate to see it…

Stop. They have 4 five stars and a 4 star coming. Many are top 10 in the country! Do they have 5 stars carrying over? Yes.
Question. When did we get our last 5 star? If we get one there will be a statewide party, right?
So, how bad can they be even if the coach is so so?

Kentucky too

I only really hated Duke during the Laettner years, not so much after that. But I will say a lot of the Duke old money fans are super arrogant. I remember all of them talking so much trash to me on the Sunday before the national championship game in 1999 in the hotel lobby. They said, “it won’t even be close against UConn”, SMH. That game was a big serving of humble pie to the, that was well deserved

Also, Texas football.

Double like. Texas does the least with their revenue in hoops and football

I don't know, maybe it's a bad thing to have 8 five stars on a roster, but odds are one of them will be able to make 3's.
K has recruited them, and for that he gets credit but Calhoun of course did more with less.
