Great win. Scheyer clearly talked with Cayden. Played a very different game tonight.

And Slim was way off on shooting and 3s along with Malik riding the bench an awful lot, and we still dominated.

Khamenia also stepped up and played great.

That said, Brown has to watch the fouls early. Those two fouls right off the bat could have hurt us.

Adjusting to life without Caleb. Getting Pat back will do nothing but help and I heard Jon say Pat cleared some type of medical check yesterday so that’s encouraging.

No clue if we win tonight but this team has answered EVERY. SINGLE. TEST. and make no mistake, they whipped Clemson last night , the final 12 point win is a bit misleading. All of this with slim having a very off night, Maliq had his worst game of the year and yet here we are. Jon is coach of the year and I’m going to go ahead and say it- Booz is the best player to wear a Duke uniform since JJ. Never thought I’d say that after Zion and especially Coop but he is.

When the announcer compared him to Laettner, you know he’s special. If Duke wins it all, then I think he’s right there with him. He’s definitely better as a freshman. Damn, he just does it all.

If we win it all, Boozer will go down as the greatest freshman player we've had. But he has to win it all, IMO.

He’s already the greatest freshman we’ve already had. Zion, Coop and Bagley (could list more of course) were special, but Boozer is the best to ever do it as a freshman. Jah was great too and won a title but if you asked me to pick one freshman to be a centerpiece, it’s Booz.

He's up there with Zion & Coop for me, those are the three best we have had. If the flat earther doesn't get hurt, he's helping us win back-to-back, and he's up there, too. If Cam is hoisting #6 in three weeks, then I will say he's the best.

Bagley is up there too. If that team had won the title he'd be seen in a better light. Fair or not postseason success matters. Okafor is a good example of this. Kyrie would round out my top 5. Deng was pretty special too; he just didn't have to do as much. Parker was pretty good too but that team had some issues. If Parker had played with a good center that team could have gone further. Winslow and Magette are my favorite OADs I like physical wings. But not the best.

My favorite one-and-done is Tyus. Cam wins a title, and he can eclipse him. Not saying Tyus is the best. Just my personal favorite.

Bagley was only an offensive player. A good one, but his defense was atrocious. He will never be called one of the greats in my opinion. There’s too many that were 2 way players.

Title or no title, Cam may be the best freshman ever at Duke.
