While I agree that Duke should be the cream of the crop in the ACC,  it is still debatable who is number 2. Virginia Tech with Malcolm Delaney really does make a strong case, guard play generally rules the ACC and The ACC’s leading scorer is back with last years team pretty much intact. Whether UNC will have adequate guard play remains to be scene, serviceable isn’t always good enoug...

Nolan, in addition to having an incredible summer, has his mind right. Focusing on what Duke needs in order to repeat, that includes some loses (but not too many).  Seems as though in evaluating the season Nolan has realized that there were key loses last year that aided in the mental development and subsequent title run.

While I try to only rant about things concerning my beloved Blue Devils, there is just something about John Calipari that just irks me to no end. Sure he says all the right things, but as we have seen with his exits from his last couple of programs that there is a stink that follows him around. He has seemed to master the art of benefiting from one of the biggest problems in college hoops. There...
