Honestly, that's probably where he ends up, but I've been hearing that it's not just a UK-FSU race anymore.
I was just messing with you, but supposedly Carolina is very much in the hunt for Wiggins. We'll see what happens, but in order for Carolina to be competitive with Duke next season, they might NEED Wiggins to come to Chapel Hill.

Do you know when Wiggins might verbal or if he is definitely waiting until the spring signing period?

Everything I have heard indicates that it'll be a Spring decision.

Thanks. I will be following this very closely now that Carolina appears to be in a close race with UK.

Duke should win, but Santa Clara +18 tomorrow is a quality bet...the Broncos are pretty good.

SC is solid. They don't seem to give a shit where they are.

Santa Clara had a lead in the second half, therefore Duke found their way into the bonus with 14:48 left in the half. Go figure

That would require me to be a Buckeye fan, which I am not.

Seth Curry with a career high 31 points against the Broncos today. If not for the leg injuries he's been battling all year, Curry might be averaging over 20 per night. He's been that good this year.

Great win for Duke over a very good Santa Clara team. I had yet to see the Broncos play this year, but with three guys on the roster with more than 1,000 points, and one closing in on 2,000, you knew they had the collective experience and confidence to make a run at Duke, even in Cameron. That's a very good team, and one to watch out for in the NCAAs.

Definitely a home-like game. But probably more like North Carolina playing in Greensboro.

Davidson "hosting" Duke in Charlotte tonight. Expect a big night from Seth Curry whom I anticipate to go hard against his brother's former team and in front of his hometown.

I think Duke wins by 10+, but never underestimate a Bob McKillop coached team. He's one of the ten best there is in the country, in my view. A great coach.

Game knotted at the half. As I said, you just do not underestimate a Davidson team coached by Bob McKillop. Like fans of Duke have been accustomed to seeing over the years from the Blue Devils, the Wildcats play hard, in-your-face basketball for 40 minutes and they do it because their coach demands it of them.

Ryan Kelly with a nice first half shooting the ball for Duke. He hit a couple of beautiful step-back triples from out top early on. Very tough to guard. Hopefully Curry gets a couple to drop to start the second stanza.
