Dear Jessie
By Danny Nolan | April 28, 2014Dear Jessie, I thought about what I wanted to write my final senior column on for a long time.
Dear Jessie, I thought about what I wanted to write my final senior column on for a long time.
With Duke playing North Carolina and Syracuse over the course of a three-day period, the Blue Devils could be prepping early for a Final Four run.
I do not disagree with the decision to postpone the game. I wish that both schools had taken the necessary steps to ensure the game would be played.
The first matchup between Duke and North Carolina will come down to who will play better from the areas each team thrives in: 3-point shooting and scoring in the paint respectively.
Duke's inability to finish in the lane ended up being the difference maker in a 91-89 overtime loss to Syracuse.
It's the time of year that Duke fans start to wonder: will a Duke big man have a Zoubek-esque finish to the season?
Duke used an immense amount of defensive pressure in a 95-60 rout of N.C. State.
Duke used a number of lineup changes in a crucial win over Virginia Monday.
Columnist Danny Nolan asks himself, 'if I had the disposable income necessary to buy Duke basketball paraphernalia, what would I buy?'
The color of Duke's jerseys doesn't necessarily impact the team's play, but it does have a negative impact on the game as a whole.
