Although the Crazies like to get a head start, official tenting doesn't begin until February 1st, at this time, 'official tent checks' begin by Donald Wine and his staff of line monitors.

Why the Blue Devils can't win it
posted on Tuesday January 26, 2010
From a Pat Forde article:
We've seen this movie before. Duke blazes impressively out of the gates, is confronted by its limitations (size, depth or athleticism) in the latter third of the regular season, then hits the wall in March. The Devils haven't won more than two games in an NCAA tournament since 2004, despite having No. 1 seeds twice and No. 2 seeds twice as well.

This is yet another good Duke team, with yet another set of apparent flaws. The big men (the young Plumlee brothers, Lance Thomas, Brian Zoubek) are still nothing special. The leading men, Jon Scheyer and Kyle Singler, are still overworked. (Scheyer hasn't played fewer than 36 minutes in a game since December, and Singler has gone the full 40 in each of Duke's last two games.)

The Minutes will believe Duke might have a chance to win it all when it sees the Blue Devils actually advance past the Sweet 16 for the first time since Chris Duhon was in uniform.

Random TAD Encyc. Entry
Lee Melchionni - Was a top 75 recruit in high school, but a walk-on at Duke. Coach K wanted him on team but had no more scholarships to give. Father played for Duke and was president of Duke Alumni association.

In other words, don't listen to that bozo Vitale when he tries to portray Melchionni as a typical walk-on who had to pay his own way his first year

Suffers from Chris Collins syndrome of acting like a moron whenever he hits a shot.
