The final chapter in the excellent retelling or for some of us first telling of the glorious 1954-55 Dukes who were the National Champions by winning the prestigious NIT.


There is a final chapter that starts with the decision to stop recruiting the NYC/NJ pipeline of great black talent and Jewish stars. It follows on thru the years and the collapse after MIke Rice, Sr  was fired to this present day. Bluff talk put this together and you may agree with all or most and learn some real inside scuttle butt along the way.

For you who have followed and lived the up and sadly downs this matter of fact narration of the fall of our beloved Dukes seems to have been inevitable.
