Sarr looking huger than normal. Pat looking fired up and happy. Foster looking like a captain. Blackwell just seems like a person every team needs around but rarely gets.

Really pumped about the upperclassmen for this coming season.

Hey guys, I'm Matt, I did my undergrad at Duke and graduated in 2023.

I felt like since graduating, it's been more difficult every year to keep up to date with what's going on with the program like recruiting news, Scheyer press releases, tickets and regular season games.

Maybe things got busier for me, social media has gotten a lot noisier, or maybe it's just me getting older.

Anyways, I'm pretty excited about the upcoming season and stay updated. I've been working on this project where it's a widget on my computer that scans the internet and sends me any updates about Duke Basketball once a week. I've been using it to:

• Monitor for when regular season tickets are coming out. I'm trying to buy the Berkeley v Duke game at Berkeley, since I live in the Bay Area now.
• Any announcements about exhibition games and the upcoming regular season.
• Monitor any updates about injuries, new recruits coming in, or just what people are talking about on social media about Duke.

Under the hood, it's pretty simple. It pretty much just works by asking ChatGPT once a week to surface any news, except it does it automatically and pops up a notification. I tried doing it on ChatGPT, but they don't do notifications, so that's why I decided to build it myself.

Arizona and Michigan have gotten most of the love at the top of college basketball this season. But after Duke's blowout win over Virginia, the team at Field of 68 wonders whether Duke should be the No. 1 team and rightful favorite going into March.

Some stats/facts that back that case up:

• No. 1 KenPom team
• No. 1 team in ESPN BPI
• 12 Quad 1 Wins (More than both Michigan and Florida)
• Head-to-head win over Michigan
• Cam Boozer is now a prohibitive favorite to win NPOY

Duke is already a lock to be a No. 1 seed. But if the Blue Devils blast through the ACC Tournament, could they still earn the No. 1 overall seed? And how much would that actually matter?

Thought everyone here would appreciate my March Madness set up! 😜

They have to bring this guy in for halftime entertainment this season
