Duke game

Doyle is picking Duke to win it. Check out this (frankly not unfair) slam on Bowman. Wow.

IPD and I will be there cheering for the blue & grey. It looks like Italian will also be making the trip. This could be a defining moment for JTIII and the program....

Still waiting on a few responses from craig's list. Status is TBD. If not, myself & the wife will be at a bar watching the game.

Unfortunately the EBay bidding got a little higher than I wanted & I wasn't quick enough on Craig's List. As such, I'll be here in NYC watching the game (maybe with Glasheen).

Enjoy the game guys!

What a win for the Hoyas! I had to watch it from my desk, but it looked like a great finish. I read this morning that we haven't beaten a #1 since 1985.

Wish you and Jester could have been there. It was the single greatest live sporting event moment of my life. I'm still exhausted from screaming and jumping through the whole game. JTIII ate Coack K's lunch; truly outcoached him. I still can't believe it. 10 conference wins now makes us a lock for the tourney. Let's get it done!

Plus, this is the type of "quality win" that looks great on your resume if you're sitting on the bubble.

Game was a classic. I watched the highlights 3 times last night. Still haven't gotten my voice back yet.

Great articles about the game & the meaning of it by Mike Wise in today's Post. Only down side to beating Duke yesterday is that the other unbeaten's also lost & we had to share highlight time with St. John's & Tennessee.

Win over the Huskies would be huge! (also not out of the question)

Did anyone record the game? I would love to get my hands on a copy of the broadcast. I've been watching replays of JWal's spin move around Dockerty and Bowman's sick 360 dunk with the #1 held up to the students. We played with so much freakin' confidence. Jeff - I hope you actually got to watch the game instead of following it on line. BTW: Italian, we should have stayed in the street longer. Evidently, Jeff Green's Mom drove up and celebrated with the students and Owens drove by and yelled, "I love you guys."

Best line regarding the game: "GU backdoored Duke so much, I thought I was watching a porn video."

Awesome. Hopefully JTIII let the team enjoy the moment for a minture or two & then reminded them that the goal is to be playing deep into March. Supposedly the team ate in The Tombs but left early.

My bad, I forgot that we don't play UConn again this year; however, yesterday's win puts wins over the remaining ranked opponents in a different light making them all very good chances for wins.
