Just left the Duke locker room. Whew, that was tough. Here is Cayden Boozer's initial reaction before the media became silent in giving him a break for a minute. Give Cayden Boozer credit for owning his mistakes and not hiding from the pain. Feel for this young man.💔👿🏀🗣⬇️

Jon Scheyer began his presser expressing appreciation for his seniors and then informing us his grandma passed away the night before the game at NC State. So, touching on those emotions, I opened it up by asking if he ever stops to pinch himself about being Duke's head coach.😈⬇️

!["Are you serious, Ryan Kelly?" - Dick Vitale "Probably as good a performance as any [Duke] player has had in Cameron." - Coach K Today's "Random Duke Basketball Lore Generator" takes us back to March 2, 2013, when senior Ryan Kelly exploded for a career-high 36 points in a 79-76 home win over Miami in his return to the court after sitting out almost two months with a foot injury. He shot 7-for-9 from three in this game‼️😈🏀🎥⬇️](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2056878446064591016/ext_tw_video_thumb/2056878352682627072/pu/img/HgrdbT1lWYjETXRb.jpg)

Well, I'm now on the train back from Washington, D.C., to Cary, N.C. Not the train I wanted to be on today, as I had hoped to be heading to Indiana to gear up for my coverage of the Final Four.👿 But right now, I'm passing the time on here by watching Deron Rippey Jr. highlights, getting pumped up at the thought of covering this electrifying top-shelf point guard in Cameron Indoor Stadium next season.😈🔜⬇️ For those of you who are also ready to move on from last night's heartache and look ahead to what's on tap for the 2026-27 Blue Devils, this is a reminder that Rippey and fellow five-star Duke basketball recruiting prize Cameron Williams play in the McDonald's All Amercan Game at 9 p.m. ET Tuesday (ESPN). And the Sprite Jam Fest (dunk and 3-point contests) begins at 9:30 p.m. ET tonight (ESPN2). 📹: Swish Cultures

Today's "Random Duke Basketball Lore" takes us back to March 30, 1991, and is my all-time favorite memory. Duke stunned UNLV at the Final Four on the same floor in Indianapolis that Dean Smith got ejected in UNC's loss to Kansas a few hours earlier. Ended UNLV's 45-game winning streak, a year after losing by 30 to the Runnin' Rebels in the title bout. In my mind, the win will always remain the most important in program history.😈🏀🎥⬇️

Today's "Random Duke Basketball Lore" takes us back to Feb. 28, 1998, Wojo's Senior Day and Coach K's 500th win as a head coach, as the No. 1 Blue Devils rallied back from a 64-47 deficit at the under-12 timeout in the second half to defeat No. 3 UNC, 77-75. Back from injury after sitting out the Blue Devils' 97-73 road loss to the Tar Heels a few weeks earlier, freshman Elton Brand erupted to ignite what remains one of the all-time most memorable comebacks in Cameron Indoor Stadium, capping off that squad's 15-0 record at home. Check out the last few minutes of action. Clutch buckets and staredowns by senior Roshown McLeod. The game-tying score by junior Chris Carrawell. Patented floor slaps galore courtesy of Steve Wojciechowski. An epic collapse by the Tar Heels. Yes, this Duke basketball masterpiece had everything!😈🏀🎥⬇️

On this day 36 years ago: Duke basketball sophomore Christian Laettner sinks UConn in the East Regional Final. I was 8 years old watching at a Duke-hater friend's house and proceeded to unapologetically dance around his backyard, at which point he immediately told his mom to drive me home.😂😈🏀🦾⬇️
