It is that time of year again. It feels like Christmas, without the maxed out credit cards, fully lit lawn decorations, annoying in-laws and nasty fruit cakes. It is March Madness and the brackets have been released.

Reggie got into foul trouble early in the game, forced by the physical play of Plumlee. Seth Curry and Rasheed Sulimon had mediocre nights, both scoring in double figures but certainly not playing dominate Duke basketball. Quinn Cook, on the o...
I said it in January when he went out with a foot injury, and i am saying it now, Duke is a Championship team with Ryan Kelly on the court. How do you not step on the court for eight weeks and score 36 points against a top 5 team? It is one of the best comebacks I have seen the past 10 years.
