Duke Men's Basketball '24-'25 (35-3, FINAL FOUR!)

What an absolute clinic!

The team absolutely dismantled Illinois.

I like how this article sums it up.

It was a blowout that bloated into a laugher that morphed into a demolition and finished as a historic annihilation.

Yes it is!

Nice shoutout piece for Spencer Hubbard.

"But to see the crowd respond to him that way, to see a guy that's been here for five years — blood, sweat, and tears, practice every day, growing up — that's what college is all about. That's what this program has been about.

And those disgusting bastards pieces of manure have made fun of Coop's injury on IC (Idiot Central) all afternoon apparently. Gonna take a helluva show by several guys not named Coop and Maliq and some astonishingly honest reffing for us to escape with a win tomorrow. What lucky shits they are.

We are going to win even though Flagg and Brown do not play.

I agree. It does affect our depth some, which we've used greatly, but I have faith. Carolina will be playing it's 3rd game in three days; even beaten up we'll have fresher legs. We'll also have better talent and better coaching, so I'm ready!

[CameronBornAndBred]

AHHHHHHHHH SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYAAAAAAAA!!!

[Bob Green]

I’m back home from my sister’s house. Watched the win over Carolina with her. I’ll be back in chat tonight.
