Last year Caleb Love posted a Instagram photo after beating Duke in Cameron with the caption, “Everyone a savage until they face to face with one.”
Theo returned the favor.
Duke says that Coach K will be honored before the game with all his former players that will be in attendance. And he will address the crowd following the game along with several special presentations.
They said ESPN will air both ceremonies.
Not to get lost in all the hoopla Saturday, but it’s also Joey Baker’s senior night.
It didn’t always go as planned, but stuck with it for 4 years and definitely always worked hard.
“I didn’t grow up with a father. I didn’t know what was going to happen when I committed to Duke in ‘96. I got a father, I love you.”
Chris Carrawell on K
JJ Redick: “Do you find yourself rooting for Duke a little bit?”
Kevin Durant: “Yes, Nolan’s on the staff, I grew up with him. Jon, I played in high school with, I’m tight with him. Played for Coach K, yeah.”

If Jon succeeds, Nolan will never move up higher than an assistant coach at Duke.
It makes sense for Nolan to go to a school with an older coach, where his dad played, for a chance to become a head coach some day.
It sucks, but it is what it is.

If you told me before the season that the only team standing in the way of a trip to the Final Four is NC State, I’d be ecstatic.
Now, I’m mortified of their magic
