I like my team

I am an unabashed Duke basketball fan. It started in grad school when I attended Duke's Fuqua School of Business. We (my wife, my young daughter and I) attended many games and had a blast cheering the Blue Devils on to victory (usually). Since then, I have watched them play well for many, many years (championships in '91, '92 and '01), with a few lesser years (still going to the tourney but not getting very far).


This year's team has me thinking they will do well through the regular season, in the ACC tournament and in the NCAA tournament. They play defense as well as I have seen them play since 2001 (when they won and Shane Battier was the team leader). They just lost to Wake Forest in a close one at Wake. They battled the whole game through and tied the game with seconds to play. Wake made a shot at the end and nipped them.
