We played Pepperdine 11/18/2005 on way out to Maui Invitational. Beat Arkansas on 11/21, Arizona on 11/22 and Gonzaga 11/23 to win the tournament.
I went to Pepperdine years ago to see UConn girls with Diana, Barbara, Ann, etc. You are right, that is some campus. Was funny the Pepperdine fans were shocked that their little gym was full of fans, Willnet had a big family group there.
AARP'er?
Whatever he's full of, I'll place a bet it has better taste than that neo-faux-gothic monstrosity you seem to find attractive.
Duke is a great school, your brother is fortunate to have attended. That was not my point. Duke modeled their neo-gothic buildings after several Ivy institutions including Yale, Princeton, etc (who modeled theirs after Oxford). At the time Duke was building their Gothic revival campus, they had a limited budget relative to their Ivy peers so they achieved a similar look by cutting corners (different, less expensive stone and less intricate facades for one). So while it is clearly an example of collegiate revival, the buildings are noticeably different from those that served as inspiration. This does not make it less of a school. I have the same observation of UM’s or BC’s gothic buildings.
I can easily see how that happens. Scheyer doesn't have enough experience or success to command respect from the players. He may not be a good leader and communicator either. I imagine it happens a lot in sports with young coaches. Duke made its bed and now it has to lie down in it.This looks interesting.

I was able to attend a Duke game 2 years ago and the greatest thing about Cameron is the bball/ sports museum attached to the arena. It’s absolutely beautiful. It made me think omg we can do the exact same thing because we have the hardware and history to do something similar. But it won’t be cheap and that’s the problem. Idk what it looks like now, but years and years ago I went to the UConn sports museum and it was a total dud.
Isn’t it about who you are in March? And early April?
Quite the contrary @auggie22, Duke and its buildings have a uniqueness and beauty all its own simply because just like the Ivy League schools up north, Duke was built and constructed with local materials. In Duke’s case those local materials were metamorphic mica schist rocks which are quite beautiful and in my opinion (and the opinion of many others) put the drab granite used up north by Ivy League schools, to shame. Metamorphic mica schist in the quarries around Durham have brilliant blue, brown and yellow hues, and because of the school, today is commonly known as “Duke” stone.
What’s funny about it? They built with what materials they had locally. GFY
You know entirely too much about the architecture on the Duke campus.
I realize it isn't a claim you are making, but the idea that the authenticity of the architecture at Duke matters one iota to a 5* 18-year old is ludicrous.
Probably caught a whiff of the fryer grease at the XL center.
