News Flash: Will Wade Set To Leave NC State, Go Back To LSU
Well, this is a surprise – not. Will Wade is bailing on NC State after one season to return to LSU, the school he worked for when the program got caught up in the FBI/Adidas scandal. LSU will now employ Wade, Lane Kiffin, and Kim Mulkey, which, objectively, is hilarious. It reminds one of Jess […]
Sweet 16 Notes And More
We say more because we must start at home in the Triangle, where one good coaching change apparently deserves another: yes, after the Hubert Davis drama has turned to who will replace him, the drama has moved over to NC State, where rumors of Will Wade’s return to LSU have significantly heated up. It would […]

Twitter Gold: Jai Lucas With His Team After Losing In The NCAA Tourney
For people who pay attention to such things, Jai Lucas has been on the radar for some time. People have said for a long time that he has that hard-to-define “It” quality. We sort of caught on when we saw him seriously coaching at a Coach K Fantasy Camp game. Everyone else was relaxed, but […]

Next Up – St. John’s For The 2026 Elite Eight
Date || 3/27 || Time 7:10 || Venue Capital One Arena || Video CBS Duke has a bit of a history with Rick Pitino. Most obviously, Duke beat his very gutty 1992 Kentucky team that forced overtime in the Elite Eight, which led to Christian Laettner’s iconic shot and a legendary 104-103 win. That’s not […]

YouTube Gold: Greatest Upset In NCAA Tournament History?
In the history of the NCAA tournament, there have only been two 16 seeds to win. First, there was UMBC’s stunning victory over Virginia in 2018. The coach of that team, Ryan Odom, now coaches the Cavaliers. The other was in 2023, when Fairleigh Dickinson knocked off Purdue. FDU’s coach, Tobin Anderson, amused the basketball […]

Cameron Boozer Brings Home More Hardware
It was a big day for Cameron Boozer, as Duke’s sensational freshman won both the Oscar Robertson Trophy and the Wayman Tisdale Award. Both are awarded by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association.

Hubert Davis Update
The Hubert Davis watch continues, but all we have so far are bread crumbs to guide us into the coaching thicket at UNC. Three intriguing developments: first, the final Hubert Davis Show of the year was canceled. Second, post-season meetings with UNC players have been postponed. And third, Elijah Davis, Hubert’s son who is on […]
Twitter Gold: Iowa Fans In Heaven
As Duke fans, we’re all used to a certain level of success. Making the Sweet 16 is good, the Elite Eight is better, Final Four is great, but we all look for titles. Same for Kansas, Kentucky, UConn, and UNC, though not so much there lately. Not every school has the track records that those […]
Are NIL Reforms Possible?
The reality of NIL and the transfer portal is that it’s made competing for talent much more difficult. That leaves how to make talent work together aside for the moment, but that’s a topic for another discussion. The latest coach to bring this up is UCLA’s Mick Cronin. After losing to UConn, he was asked […]
Could Caleb Foster Be Back For The Sweet 16?
Well here’s some exciting news, at least potentially: Duke coach Jon Scheyer says that there’s an “outside chance” that Caleb Foster could be back for the Sweet 16, and credits his hard work, and “who he is” for that being possible. First off: that’s amazing. And second: he reportedly had a fractured bone, right? No […]

YouTube Gold: Iowa Rising
You may have noticed that over the last few years, we really have pushed Ben McCollum. He was the John Wooden of D-II ball, racking up Final Fours and national championships like no one’s business. Last year, at Drake, he won the MVC regular season championship and the the tournament as well, finishing 31-4. This […]
Duke Bites Down On Baylor, 69-46, Moves On To Sweet 16
They say payback is hell, and it was for Baylor Sunday afternoon as Duke took the Bears to the woodshed, 69-46, and will play in the Sweet 16 next weekend. You’ll recall that Duke and Baylor opened the season in Paris, with the Bears winning 58-52. Obviously, things were very different this time. The Blue […]
Note To TCU Fans: It Wasn’t The Officiating
As Duke fans have come to expect, after losing to the Blue Devils on Saturday, TCU fans are blaming the officiating. Do they have a case? There were certainly some bad calls. First, there was the flagrant foul on Tanner Toolson. There’s a good argument that he just acted reflexively to protect himself. We can […]

It wasn’t nearly as easy as the final score indicated but the Blue Devils roll on to the Sweet 16 by sending TCU home with a dominant second half performance. The Duke Basketball Roundup breaks down the way Duke flipped the switch and dominated the Horned Frogs over the final 16 minutes of the game. Defense, […]
Notes On Friday’s 2026 NCAA Tournament Action

We’ll come back to those. The other three games were really good: Texas […]
