VICTORY

It is about god damn time my Dukies get some mother fucking respect around these parts. Since 1984/1985 the Blue Devils took home the top prize in ESPN's most prestigious progams. See Story Here.

Throughout the past 25 years, Duke has maintained the cleanest, most successful program in D1 Hoops. They never stooped to the levels of UNC, UCLA, Kansas or Kentucky. They held their admission standards high and never darkened the program in search of more wins.

Thank you, ESPN.
