The men’s college basketball transfer portal opened up on Tuesday morning, and as of Sunday morning, YOUR Marquette Golden Eagles have not evolved their roster with a commitment yet.

If every Duke player had a TV show named after him, we’d have one called this: Everybody Loves Maliq. Maliq Brown has been one of the best-loved players in Duke Basketball history. Why is that?

In 1988, Duke was ascending but not yet a dominant power. The Blue Devils had gone to the Final Four in 1986 and the Sweet 16 in 1987, but the idea that Duke was about to become the premier brand in college basketball was ridiculous. The best coach in the country? Everyone knew that was […]
