Duke is doing its part to keep pace in its arms race on Tobacco Road.
The Blue Devils play Butler tonight in the national championship game, and a win would bring consecutive NCAA titles to the North Carolina Triangle for the first time in 17 years.
The last time Duke and rival North Carolina claimed back-to-back championships was in 1992 and '93, when the Tar Heels followed Duke's second straight title with their second under coach Dean Smith.
North Carolina won last year's title -- and the Blue Devils, with their campus situated eight miles north of Chapel Hill, couldn't help but hear all about it.
"I didn't watch a whole lot of the Final Four" last year, Duke guard Jon Scheyer said. "It was tough for me to watch. ... I couldn't have told you exactly how it would be this year. But you know, for us, this is where we expected to be this year. This is the position we wanted to be in. We're going to make the most of it."
Religious experience
Gordon Hayward thought he'd be able to sneak back to his hometown church for Easter services without causing a stir. Boy, was he wrong.
"Me and Garrett (Butcher) couldn't really get out of there," Hayward said. "People were swarming us. You don't really get that at church."
The Bulldogs know they're popular -- even their English bulldog mascot Blue II has become a celebrity -- but Hayward was still surprised by the reaction at Messiah Lutheran Church in his hometown of Brownsburg, Ind.
"It was weird because I was signing (autographs) on the church program," Hayward said.
Read all about it
He's already beaten Jim Boeheim and Tom Izzo in this tournament. Now Butler coach Brad Stevens gets to match wits with Mike Krzyzewski.
"The best way I can put it is, they write books and I get to read them," the 33-year-old Stevens cracked.
Countered Coach K: "I've already put in a preorder for his book."
Bigger is better
Stevens wouldn't mind seeing the NCAA Tournament expand. He calls his Bulldogs "the most fortunate program in the world ... (because) every guy on our team has played in nothing but an NCAA Tournament.
"They've had unbelievable experiences," he said. "It is the best experience you can have as a college basketball player. So if more kids get to experience that, I am all for that." |
