Wade. Seriously. Just because I'm an awesome friend and congratulate you on the success of your Wake Forest NBA players doens't mean your Deacs can all go and beat Duke and stuff. Come on, now.
Kidding aside, I'm not actually that mad at the Wake Nation. If I had to pick one game for Duke to lose, this was it. It might get Wake in the tourney which is good for the ACC, and a good friend of mine is a fan (the aforementioned Wade) and I enjoy it when my friends enjoy sports triumphs.
One final note, Wake's new coach Dino Gaudio is the former head coach at West Point. While at Army, Dino recruited a plucky, little known 6'5'' small forward from Ohio. This young man would go on to set Cameron Indoor Stadium on fire in November 1997 in the first regular season Duke basketball game that I ever attended. I did color guard for the game, even.
Nice shooting, Sultan--at 3 points per minute played, I think the outcome might have been different if your coach (not Dino, who had left at this point) had played you more!

So you knew each other before you knew each other? Ahhh...fate brings you together again...and then apart again...and maybe together again some day!

Are the Devils blue because they're from the ninth circle of hell, or because they always seem to lose the big one?
Too funny Andrew. However, I must correct one minor detail. The miraculous three I hit against the Blue Devils was in the friendly confines of Christl Arena - first game of the year; my sophmore campaign ('97). This only makes it slightly less amazing...but if you add the fact that it was in the face of one Mike Chappell (who, incidentally is currently playing pro ball somewhere overseas)....I think it brings it back on par w/it being AT Duke. In fact, I think the embarrassment of being "shown up" by me led him to transfer to Michigan State...if I remember correctly. For those interested - we played Duke away in '96.....sometime in December.
Jeff is right of course, making the latter half of my post almost entirely factually inaccurate!@
I must be thinking of a game my Sophomore year??
I feel kinda dumb now. For which I also blame Wade.
Andrew, you are much more gracious than my mother, who upon watching the game with Wade, dropped many an f-bomb in anger.
