@HammerPike @M_Vernon If I remember correctly, Kansas had a long home game winning streak going during the 1987-88 season. They lost three games at home that year to Duke, K State and Oklahoma. KU defeated KSU in the regional final, Duke in the final 4 and OU in the championship game.

Duke is so ahead of the curve — whether it’s hiring on a general manager, NIL funds, or this multiyear deal with Amazon — you have to give Nina King and Jon Scheyer & Co. their flowers.

Constantly trying to put the program in the best position to win. Love it.

Playing chess!!!!

[Matt Jones @KySportsRadio]

Amazon is going to pay Duke players to promote their games as a NIL fee….basically paying the players to do advertisements and since the market is global, they can pay a lot of money

That’s actually brilliant and why their Basketball Ops person is the best in the country

[Doug North @GoPhilliesGo]

@Dukeblogger Great points. When all is said and done I think Kentucky dodged a bullet. I think KU is in for DP part two drama!!!

On another topic Duke/UCONN in Vegas next year!!! You going?

[Duke Men’s Basketball @DukeMBB]

@tsnmike I don’t ask questions on X often but you ALWAYS take time to reply to me!!! You’re the best!!!

Wins fade. Relationships don’t.

Brad Underwood gets it. 🔥

“25 years from now, I want them to pick up the phone and call me because they need me.”

Coach accordingly.

[Doug North @GoPhilliesGo]

Hmmmmm. Spot on!!!

[SVPod @_SVPod]

With the way Duke's seasons have ended recently, is the Jon Scheyer criticism fair?

[Sean Grande @SeanGrandePBP]

I just asked Joe Mazzulla if he knew exactly how the UConn-Duke game ended when he left the locker room last night at halftime...

[Damin Altizer @DaminAltizer]

Nebraska putting 4 players on the court. Duke’s last 10 seconds up 2. Florida helping and giving up the 3.

Just a reminder the next time you’re at a high school game: mental mistakes happen at EVERY level.

And screaming at 15-18 year olds from the stands isn’t changing that.

@DukeEmpire5 I live 20 miles from Lawrence KS so I’m loving this college bball season!!! Ready for the Phils to break my ❤️again!!!

[Doug North @GoPhilliesGo]

Yep!!!

[Duke Empire @DukeEmpire5]

FT Differential in the tournament:
Arizona +64
Illinois +49
Duke +44

Guess which team is the only one getting social media attention from it?

[The Field of 68 @TheFieldOf68]

Only 3 coaches in the last 60 years have made 3 Elite Eights before 40 🔥

Jon Scheyer just joined Dean Smith and Bob Knight 👀

[Doug North @GoPhilliesGo]

@DukeManiacs But it was all about Coach K wanting a farewell tour!!! Haha

[Donté J Harvey @dontejharvey]

No ref outrage for Arizona, Tennessee or Purdue today? OH OK! 😂

[Rick Heidrick @rheidrick24]

Arizona FTA’s: 39

Utah State FTA’s: 11

Where is the outrage?

[Doug North @GoPhilliesGo]

@ALawDuke @RockChalkBlog But it’s the home for KU basketball commentary!!! Clown talks about Duke all the time.
