HISTORY! @NdotSmitty does it again! @TSUTigersMBB signs just the 2nd EVER MCDAA in HBCU history. I'm not surprised. Lil bro is special. @bradshawaaron25 is a Tiger!

@tonywmiller Lets do it!! Paulus, Jon, Singlee def weren’t denying a soul lol

My guy, it wasn't pack line, but it wasn't his traditional denial defense. I watched every single game of your 4-year career. You maybe were denying, but Paulus, Jon, and Singler weren't. Also, I'm still going to get you on the podcast one of these days. 😈 Maybe to talk about this.

Krzyzewski played aggressive man-to-man for years then switched to gap defense in 2010 when his team wasn’t able to defend aggressively…an analytical decision. Nolan Richardson’s 40 minutes of Hades was completely an analytical choice. Boeheim played 2-3 zone 99% of his career, leaning on the analytics that he thought gave his team an advantage. Jay Wright is like the OG of the modern analytical era. It’s time to stop the rolling of eyes attitude towards analytics. They’ve been around since the game started. Coaches are just trying to make more informed decision. Do some rely too heavily on the numbers sometimes and get burned? Sure. Has anyone relied on “his gut” and gotten burned? Of course. We’re all out here just trying to the best of our ability to win games.

Good bump!!

AMAZING HONOR FOR THE PLAYERS. BEYOND PROUD OF THEM FOR SETTING THE STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE. Thank you to the State of Tennessee for the honor!

😂😂😂

Watching all these schools get big commitments 😂😂😂

If you want things to be GREAT (everyone says they do)… DO WHATEVER IT TAKES. If you are not willing to do that… We not speaking the same language. LETS BE GREAT! Lets Work, Lets change!#Messsageeeeeeeee

My thoughts… I lived in Memphis last season, Working under the Legend Penny Hardaway! It is a city that my family and I love - great food, vibes and people!!! Stay outta certain areas and you will be fine! ( EVERY CITY IN NBA) Build a Ritz Carlton to make all NBA Players happy.

My brothers!! ✊🏾🖤

@NdotSmitty @DukeDigest My brother, a Maryland fan, said Kyrie coming back destroyed the chemistry of the team. You were 1st Team All-American and ACC POY. Your thoughts?

Best Duke teams that didn’t win a championship: 1999 2002 2025 1986 2011 (pre Kyrie toe injury)

@unc9876 @DukeDigest Major Changes were made to our team late, changed dynamics of our mob!

@NdotSmitty @DukeDigest Hmm y’all barely beat 8 seed Michigan by 2 in 2nd round then got whooped by 16 in sweet 16 to 5 seed Arizona.
