VCU lost to McNeese St at home.
That makes the win today by  DU even better

Try the parking lot next to the chapel if the gate is up.

Money, money and then more money
The regular season champ of non 6 schools that lose can 
be better than a power 6 school that ranks high on NET
Numerous examples of the underdog team of lower ranked non 6 team
winning over a power 6 in tournaments
this may backfire at least I hope so
solution would be to expand the NCAA tournaments

As I see it, player injuries are a closely guarded secret. Only when the injury results in walking boots, crutches, is televised or KD addresses the issue do we know the details of an injury.
I think reason for this lack of information has to do with competitive advantages.  Most coaches don't want the competition to know that a starter has an injury that can be exploited. Or the player may use to avoid practice or feel pressured to return to practice before he is ready.

By resigning he gets nothing.
If fired, he probably has a buyout clause.
I see one of those 'settle out of court' deals.

Bryce James has been offered a scholie by DU
Joyce and James were HS teammates while KD was their coach
I sense that Joyce will be the next head coach
KD will get a 2 year extension depending on what happens this year

I was in school with the Nelsons.
They were in Army ROTC.  They marched with the
the rest of the men, Wore suits. No uniform was big enough
for them. I asked them why they were in ROTC. Because of their
height they would be exempt. They replied for the easy A.
Before Towers, a cafeteria served the campus. My roommate told
me one of the Nelsons, it have been Garry, crashed his motorcycle into
a fence near the cafe. My roommate and several other guys watched and waited to see
what would happen. The Nelson got up, dusted himself off and asked 'Don't 
I get an applause?"
RIP Garry.

I also  have a wait and see outlook.
However, when various  sports analysis types
start touting the Dukes then I start to pay attention.
Injuries, team chemistry and correct talent evaluation
are a number of variable that could affect the final
outcome but for now I enjoy the attention the team is
receving.

I see Dusan, when  healthy, a replacement for Rotroff.
15 mins, 6 pts and 4 rbs a game plus good defense 
would be very good.
Those stats got Rotroff a pro contract with Luxomburg.

I read that coaches are reluctant to talk about recruits unless
they are signed because the recruit could be poached by
another coach before they sign. With NIL, poaching would
even more of an issue.

Years ago, before the transfer portal, this would have been
disappointing.
Good luck to Charney.
We got Grant and Brewer through the transfer portal both of whom
turned out to be good players and could be considered  equal to or better than Spears and Johnson.
I wouldn't be surprised that KD has a guard in mind as Charney's replacement.

I checked the Lasalle message board.
They wrote that the Drames are great team players 
and will be missed.
A small sample but we will have to see what happens.

Risky.
We win at least one or two games good
but if we are favored and lose not so good,
KD and the team may agree to play if it helps
the seniors receive European League offers.

What about Hima?
He didn't play much and now that  Boeheim has retired 
i wonder if he would return and KD would offer him a scholie.

I think Joyce will be the next head coach and he may bring
Bronny and Bry.
I saw he shared the post game with KD after the SBU.
I think it is a sign he is being groomed as the next head coach.

Defense to the rescue.
SBU had 23 pts in the 2nd half.
Shot 38%
DU outscored SBU 39-27 from 3;22 first half to the end of game
Give team credit for doing the hard work of  playing defense.

RE did have the issue about the used tennis shoes sent to Boward
and the question who pays the shipping cost.
Otherwise, I agree. I thought he was a good coach.

Dukes up 50-20 at half.
Remember Richmond.
Not over until it is over.
KD got to keep them focused.

From what I have read, Bronny is ranked 34 in his class
is considered a 4 star prospect.
DU might be a  good place for him, 
He will KD and Joyce as coaches in a reasonably competitive conference.
Though expectations will be high for him and the team, he has a chance to be
successful because of the conference and coaches and may  even stay for  more than one year.

According to Zach Weiss, the guy had a hidden camera and a friend with a camera to 
record the prank.
He brings in an empty macdonalds bag, fills it with tissue from the restroom and buys a drink 
at the concession stand.  Sets up the prank, does the prank and go it goes viral.'
No politics, no aggressive behavior. Just well a prank.
Not a lot you can do regarding security.
Fortunately, the Dukes won.

I agree.
Emphasis defense.  Doubt if the scoring or shooting for either team will continue at this rate.
Stay focused. I would imagine the fans are more or less quiet.

He is averaging 2 pts and 2 rbs per game
So far, his leaving opened up a scholarship for a better player
