isn't what it was.
The ACC being as bad as it was in its history, that is no longer the case.
So when you say, hey, Duke is going on the road to play two quality ACC teams, that is a tough week.
Even before we talk about going out across the country, which is something that no Duke team has had to do before the last couple of years in conference realignment.
If I recall correctly, if he already had two years of eligibility remaining, including this year.
So, you know, hopefully we can get the ball rolling and get him that medical red shirt.
And this is a guy who can be that big, big body that break in case of emergency big, you know, for another two years at Duke.
It's a shame for him.
You know how vital and important it is to have that big, to have that body and practice, you know,
We've benefited from that, from having that type of guy on our roster for years.
It's a shame we're going to lose that the rest of the season.
You know, I've talked on this show in my writing before about how the net they've they've given us all the ingredients to how the net is calculated, but not told us the recipe.
So we know what goes in, but we don't know what the weighing is.
And one of the things that supposedly in the secret sauce of the net is it's a little bit more results oriented than the analytical rankings like the Ken Palms and the Torvix and things of that nature.
So it sort of makes sense that a team that's 13-4 and has won games is going to be higher in the net than they would in some of these analytic ratings.
Just like Duke is higher in the net than they currently are in Ken Pomentorvik because it may not always be pretty as we've bemoaned over and over again, but Duke is getting the win.
Uh, one of the things when you talk about this Cal team, if you remember watching them last year, throw that out the window.
This is essentially a entirely new Cal team.
The only returnee who played non-trivial minutes for them last year is their starting center.
