Gee, Coach, lemme see now. Hawaii played a night ago. Now they have to leave that 80deg. sunshine, hop on a few planes, cross eleventeen time zones, land in a snowstorm, freeze their butts off- and then have to play a coupla hours later against your beloved team in a freaking HOME game. And you're worried?

Who set this one up? Bo? [/B][/QUOTE]

This is a Coach K special - remember, we have a Duke guy coaching our team now

Having a "Duke" guy coach the maize & blue is why you are in the NIT to start with. Otherwise, you would not be playing anywhere.

I seem to recall Steve Fisher winning a championship (and making two finals). Didn't see that Duke diploma on his wall - he went to my hometown school, Illinois State.

Coach K is a Coach Knight protege, and has been successful. How many Coach K proteges have won anything yet? IF, and I do mean IF, UM can continue their run, I think Amaker would be the first Coach K-trained Dukie to have any championship at any level. Already may be the only one to get to a final four at ay level.

Who knows? It may be the start of a trend, may be an aberration.
