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!😈🏀🎥⬇️

Five years ago today Alabama Men’s Basketball changed forever. What unfolded on the night of Jan. 19, 2021 in Baton Rouge, La., wasn’t just a road win or a hot-shooting performance. It became the moment the rest of the SEC realized the Crimson Tide had entered a new era, one that would permanently alter the program’s trajectory. Under Nate Oats, the modern identity of Alabama basketball announced itself inside the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. Alabama demolished LSU, 105–75, setting a SEC record with 23 made three-pointers, a seismic shift that echoed far beyond the final buzzer. When a program ascends, fans can pinpoint the exact second when everything changed. For Alabama, the seminal moment had arrived. Bamalytics, Blue Collar basketball, layups, free throws and threes weaponized into a relentless, modern offensive system that the league wasn’t prepared to stop. “The 2021 team was really special,” Bryan Passink, the color analyst for Crimson Tide Sports Network, told Tide Hoops History. “Alabama fans knew we were good and everyone enjoyed our style of play, but that night in Baton Rouge, it all came together in a huge way. “We hoped it was a sign of things to come, and it absolutely was. Banners, championships, rings and long tournament runs were all to follow.” John Petty Jr. led the avalanche with 24 points, drilling 8-of-10 from deep. Jahvon Quinerly and freshman Joshua Primo each knocked down six threes and finished with 22 points, while Herbert Jones added 13. Alabama stormed out to a 60–32 halftime lead and at one point buried eight consecutive three-pointers in the first half. Which brings us to this question for our followers: Should Jan. 19 be celebrated as a Nate Oats holiday for the Alabama basketball nation? A day to remember the night the SEC record book burned, the blueprint revealed and Alabama basketball officially became something it had never been before.

8th Anniversary for 2nd and 26 Eight years ago today, on January 8, 2018, Tua Tagovailoa connected with DeVonta Smith for a stunning 41-yard touchdown pass in overtime, securing a victory against the Georgia Bulldogs. This dramatic play clinched a walk-off championship for the Crimson Tide, marking Nick Saban's 5th national title in Tuscaloosa and the 17th national title in school history. Alabama beat UGA 26-23 in OT Do you believe that the 2nd and 26 play is the greatest play in Alabama history? Saban made a bold decision at halftime by benching Jalen Hurts after a challenging first half. Tua Tagovailoa proved to be the spark the Crimson Tide needed, catching Georgia off guard with his unique style of play. When I reflect on this game, I think about two players, Christian Miller and Terrell Lewis, who suffered injuries in the first game of the season against Florida State. These injuries were initially considered season-ending, but thanks to their hard work and dedication to extra rehab, both players managed to return in time for the National Championship. They played vital roles for the Crimson Tide during the Championship game, with Lewis making a crucial play in overtime that forced Georgia to kick a field goal. This gave Alabama the opportunity to score a touchdown and win the game. In the second half, Tua Tagovailoa had 14 completions on 24 attempts for 165 yards, with 3 touchdowns and 1 interception. In the first half, Jalen Hurts was 3 for 8 with 21 yards, 0 touchdowns, 0 interceptions, and had 47 yards rushing. Najee Harris contributed with 6 carries for 47 yards, and DeVonta Smith had 1 reception for 41 yards, which was the winning touchdown. Roll Tide to group a special group of players.

🔥THE ANTI-SAYLOR BITCOINERS HAVE LOST THEIR MINDS🔥 Bitcoiners spent 15 years screaming “BUY BITCOIN” into the void. Then Michael Saylor heard them, walked into the capital markets casino with a flamethrower, and started converting fiat clown paper into the hardest asset on Earth at industrial scale. Naturally, half the Bitcoin priesthood had a nervous breakdown. In this video, I break down the absurd anti-Saylor meltdown, the fake “centralization” panic, the hilarious double standard around large Bitcoin holders, and why Strategy’s Bitcoin accumulation is exactly what winning looks like. A public company buying Bitcoin from willing sellers at market prices does not break Bitcoin. It breaks the brains of people who wanted Bitcoin to win, but only slowly, politely, and in a way that preserved their status as conference goblins with self-custody affiliate links. Bitcoin does not care who buys it. Individuals. Companies. Institutions. Sovereign wealth funds. Pension funds. Weird libertarians in cargo shorts. Anyone can buy. That is the whole point. The anti-Saylor Bitcoiners have lost their minds:

Thirty-nine years later it remains one of the most painful NCAA Tournament losses for Generation X Alabama Men’s Basketball fans. On March 19, 1987, a dream season for the Crimson Tide came crashing down as Providence stunned No. 2-seeded Alabama, 103-82, in the Sweet Sixteen. For those who lived through it, the disappointment of that night in Louisville still cuts deep, a reminder of how close Alabama came to something even greater. With veteran leadership from Terry Coner, Jim Farmer and Mark Gottfried, combined with the elite talent of Derrick McKey and the physical presence of Michael Ansley, Alabama swept the SEC regular-season and tournament championships and entered March Madness at 26-4 with championship expectations. The Tide handled business early, defeating North Carolina A&T before dominating New Orleans, coached by former Alabama assistant Benny Dees, to reach a third consecutive Sweet Sixteen. Everything appeared aligned for the Crimson Tide to break through to perhaps the program’s first Final Four appearance. But Providence had other plans. Coached by Rick Pitino and led by guards Billy Donovan and Delray Brooks, the Friars caught fire at the perfect moment. Utilizing the new three-point line, Providence buried 14 shots from deep—five each from Donovan and Brooks—and turned the game into a barrage Alabama couldn’t withstand. Alabama trailed just 49-41 at halftime, but the second half slipped away as the Friars’ hot shooting never cooled. Donovan finished with 26 points and Brooks added 23. Farmer led the Tide with 24, while Ansley and Gottfried each scored 14, Coner had 12 and McKey added 11, but it wasn’t enough to stop the surge. Providence rode the momentum to the Final Four, but for Alabama fans, the legacy of that night is something different—a painful reminder of a March run cut too short and the beginning of a lifelong dislike of any Pitino-coached team.

Assessing Alabama’s portal additions — First up is…. - WR Noah Rogers - 6’2”, 197 lbs. - Career Stats: 68 REC, 919 Yds, 3 TDs Rogers was a hot commodity out of high school. Programs like Clemson, Alabama, North Carolina, and Florida State were vouching for his signature. However, he chose to sign with Ohio State. Rogers redshirted his true freshman season in Columbus and subsequently entered the transfer portal. He wound up at NC State where he spent the next two seasons. During that time, he solidified himself as a premier pass-catcher in the Wolfpack’s offense. While the production isn’t there in terms of touchdowns, Rogers will likely be a viable option for Alabama at wide receiver. His speed, length, and playmaking ability should gel well in a pass-centric offense like Alabama’s. Given the departures of Isaiah Horton and Germie Bernard, Rogers will be called on to fill their void. At one point, Rogers was a top-100 recruit. He runs a sub-4.5 and is as explosive as most wide receivers in CFB. The lack of opportunities at NC State likely factored into Rogers’ decision to transfer and ultimately choose Alabama. He has the potential to be a difference maker in Ryan Grubb’s offense that was seemingly more pass-heavy in 2025. In the ideal world, Rogers will be WR2 or WR3 for the Crimson Tide in the fall. He will have more than enough opportunities to showcase his potential in spring and fall camp against one of the best secondaries in CFB in 2026 in my opinion. I’m not ready to say that Rogers will have a Jameson Williams or even Isaiah Horton-esque season in 2026. However, I can confidently say that he is fully capable of living up to the billing of his predecessors. Alabama will certainly need him to alleviate some of the pressure on teammates Ryan Williams and Lotzeir Brooks. Personally, I think that he will do so. Overall Grade: A-

🚨12 HOUR NEWS RECAP 1.⁠ Trump said Putin called to congratulate him on Middle East peace and hinted it could lead to an end of the Ukraine war. The pair agreed to meet in Hungary, aiming to negotiate an end to the war. 2.⁠ VP Vance said Russia and Ukraine are still not close enough to get a deal: "For all of our work - and we're going to keep on working at it - the Russians and the Ukrainians are just not at the point where they can make a deal. I do think that we will eventually get there." 3.⁠ India is cutting Russian oil purchases in half following trade talks with the White House, according to a senior US official. Catch the fine print: the cuts won't show up in official data until December or January since refiners already locked in November cargoes. 4.⁠ Venezuelan officials floated a deal: Maduro would step down… in 3 years, handing power to his VP Delcy Rodriguez (who wouldn’t run again). The White House shut it down, calling Maduro’s regime illegitimate and accusing it of running a narco-state. 5.⁠ Israel says Hamas can return a “double-digit” number of deceased hostages - but isn’t. Only 9 bodies have been returned under the U.S-brokered deal, while 19 remain. Israel now considers this a “fundamental breach” of the ceasefire agreement. 6.⁠ Kai Trump launched her YouTube era with “1 on 1 with Kai” - featuring 18 holes, drone shots, hot mics, and Grandpa... aka “45 and 47.” She drops bombs off the tee, breaks down her 60° wedge strategy, and casually roasts his fairway bunker game. 7.⁠ A Polish court will decide whether to extradite Ukrainian diver Volodymyr Z. to Germany over alleged involvement in the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions. Prime Minister Donald Tusk opposes the transfer, saying it’s not in Poland’s interest. 8.⁠ Ukrainian drones struck the Gvardeyskoye fuel depot in Russian-occupied Crimea, setting the facility ablaze. The depot supplied fuel to a large portion of the peninsula, disrupting one of Moscow’s key supply routes in the region. 9.⁠ Federal prosecutors charged Los Angeles developers Steven Taylor and Cody Holmes for allegedly stealing millions meant for homeless housing projects. Taylor flipped a Cheviot Hills property to a nonprofit tied to former state senator Kevin Murray for a $16 million profit. Holmes, meanwhile, used $2.2 million in public housing funds to pay luxury credit card bills. 10.⁠ NYC mayor hopeful Mamdani blasted Trump for threatening to deploy the National Guard to New York: “I agree with Police Commissioner Tish that we do not need the National Guard here in New York City. What New Yorkers need is a mayor who can stand up to Donald Trump and actually deliver on safety."

Sometimes I like to look at a player’s “worst game of the year” to see how bad it was (or wasn’t). For WR Caleb Douglas (according to PFF) that was the Arizona State game where he matched up with Keith Abney (R5) all day. This was a good battle between Douglas and Abney. But considering it was supposed to be Douglas’s worst outing, it wasn’t all that bad. Texas Tech lost, despite coming back from a 12 point deficit in the final 6 or 7 minutes to take a 3 point lead, after a successful 2-point conversion made possible by Douglas drawing a hold in the end zone on the first 2-point attempt. Sam Leavitt and Jordyn Tyson worked their magic to go all the way down the field in the final minute and not just kick a tying FG, but actually score the go-ahead TD, leaving Texas Tech attempting a Hail Mary as the clock ran out. Things I noticed during the game: - The backup QB Will Hammond playing in place of Behren Morton had some issues with timing and ball placement. A couple of targets Douglas was open, Hammond missed him. Another one, instead of throwing the vertical Hammond patted the ball an extra beat and it threw off the timing. - I loved Caleb Douglas’s willingness to try and make a difference as a blocker. He got nasty with it. - Caleb had a bad drop. Abney got in there and contacted him and Douglas failed to put the ball away. But it’s interesting because Caleb also had one of the most impressive one-handed stabs you’ll see, on a play nobody noticed or cared about because it was a screen that didn’t break open. - On a lot of plays, if there wasn’t safety help, there was an egregious amount of cushion. This is something you see in a lot of Tech’s games. People had been trying, and frankly failing, to triangulate Douglas’s long speed, to where his 4.39 came as a surprise to some. And then when they’re wrong, the same tired excuse comes out, “He doesn’t play to his timed speed.” But the signs were always there. You had safeties stashed way out in the middle of nowhere to protect corners. You had corners giving 10-12 yards of cushion. - There was a lull where either the ball wasn’t coming Douglas’s way or it was inaccurate when it did, and it lasted nearly half the game. So I was looking for signs of Douglas checking out with his route running. That didn’t happen. He ran his routes hard the entire game. - Douglas dialed it up a notch during the comeback attempt at the end, particularly after the drop. He got wide open on a 3rd down vertical vs. physical coverage with no safety help over top (surviving an unflagged face mask in the process). Then he got open in the end zone twice, one of which forced a hold by Abney that did get flagged. I think the takeaway from me was, you’re playing against a good corner, you have a backup QB in, things don’t go well for you nor the offense for most of the game, but you stay locked in and make a difference at the end, mounting an unlikely comeback. I can see why Jon-Eric Sullivan would like his demeanor.

//The Wire//1800Z August 12, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: OIL CRISIS CONTINUES TO DETERIORATE AS STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE DROPS BELOW 300 MILLION BARRELS. WAR IN MIDDLE EAST REMAINS COMPLICATED, SHIPPING REMAINS STAGNANT. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE RESULTS IN MURDERS AT DAYCARE IN MINNESOTA.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE----- -International Events- Middle East: Around the region the war remains as before, with no major strikes being reported overnight. The war between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia has continued to increase in complexity following the Houthi strikes on the Jazan refinery last week. Saudi Arabia has stepped up efforts to fund and supply the official Yemeni government, which was outcast by the Houthis capturing and holding the capital city years ago. Analyst Comment: For the past decade, the Saudis have tried to undermine the Houthi control of Yemen by funding the exiled government forces which still control pockets of influence around the country. A few days ago, a strike was reported in the city of Mocha in Yemen, which was originally reported as being of Saudi origin. Turns out, it was the Houthis themselves striking the sector of the city that still remains in government control, targeting a collection of Saudi advisors which were working with the Yemeni government. -HomeFront- Washington D.C. - This morning a suspicious device was discovered in the vicinity of the Engine Company 20 fire station. One device comprised of a thermos container with wires wrapped around it was discovered by authorities, prompting a lockdown of the area. EOD responded to the scene and stated that the device was not a threat. Minnesota: This morning a stabbing attack was reported at a child care facility in Hopkins. Local authorities state that two adults and one child were stabbed at Brown Bear Childcare, a private residence converted to a daycare. All three individuals are reported deceased. Throughout the day, official sources have indicated that this was a domestic violence incident between the owners of the daycare, which resulted in one of the adults murdering the other, before murdering their child, and then themselves. The attack was witnessed by six other children, as well as a parent who had arrived at the residence to drop off their child. Analyst Comment: This attack took place at 236 Tyler Ave North. The business itself is registered with the state and has an active childcare license, with no violations or concerns being readily available online. Reviews are very positive, and the business appeared to be a small and wholesome daycare run out of a private residence. Prior to the murders this morning, this address had been listed on a local garage sale page. The listing claiming that the daycare had been scheduled to close at the end of the month, but how (or if) this fits in is unclear at the moment. As a result, this horrifically brutal attack is very out of the ordinary for Hopkins, and further analysis will be required to determine why this happened. -----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: Concerning the impact of the Gulf War on global energy markets, the situation is still desperate. Oil transits through Hormuz are very minimal, with the NAVCENT-run reporting sources no longer publicly disclosing all of the Iranian strikes on tanker vessels. Many observers visually seeing a burning hull on the horizon, or crude oil washing ashore, is about as "confirmed" as it can get, and over the past few weeks several strikes have taken place that have not been reported by the UKMTO. In terms of what this is doing to the oil markets, Hormuz is back to very minimal oil flows. The constant Houthi targeting down in the Red Sea region has also resulted in the Saudi's cutting production at many oil terminals and processing facilities, and the Omanis are quietly trying to export more oil from their terminals which bypass the Strait...efforts which get derailed when a tanker gets struck by a drone/cruise missle. Where we go from here is hard to say, but the situation has been slow to develop. If a person is watching a car crash in slow motion, and it takes 6 months for the impact, people get bored. This appears to be what's happened as this war has dragged on for almost half a year. This has resulted in complacency, even though the overall situation is incredibly serious. The United States has continued to drain the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) at a breakneck pace, to the point that we are approaching the physical limits of how much oil can be withdrawn from storage. This oil is not really being processed within the US, but rather sold on the international market so as to keep the price of oil artificially low globally. Last week, the SPR dropped to 298.7 million barrels of oil in storage, all total. This is the first time that the SPR has dipped this low since the 1980's, when the demand was 20-30% lower than it is today. More broadly, this is also a major milestone in terms of how close we're getting to tank bottom. There is debate regarding how low the SPR can be drawn down. A common figure over the years has been that the US can theoretically drain the SPR down to 70 million barrels. There is also a legal floor as well, with 42 USC § 6241 mandating that the SPR cannot be drawn below 252 million barrels for national security reasons. Of course, this is a law that can be reliably ignored by both the White House and Congress itself, but it is a number to work from...and we're getting close to it. Last year the Government Accountability Office conducted a large-scale study on the SPR, which found that due to infrastructure degradation over the years, the entire system can only pump out a fraction of what it was previously capable of. The report did not explicitly state the magic number of how low we can go, but the report did state that regardless of where the bottom of the tank actually is, we can only pump it out at a rate that is 61% of what it was designed for. This means that not only are our tanks scraping bottom, but we are also limited in how fast we can drain what's left. Like a broken record, the story has constantly repeated since the war began...demand remains the same, but supply is down. The basics of that fact can only be concealed, manipulated, and talked-down for so long before supply itself runs out. As the SPR cruises past the 300 million barrel milestone, more motivation is stacking up to re-enter the diplomatic phase once again, before the energy crisis gets much worse.
