As many of you know my sons and I are huge Duke fans, ever since the 1991 and 1992 seasons, when Duke won back-to-back NCAA basketball championships. When the season began this year, Duke was not considered to be in contention for the final four in March. But after the past 11 wins in a row, including beating #3 North Carolina last week at the Dean Dome, everyone is talking about the Dukies. Now at the #2 spot in the polls, Duke has been able to win by playing intensely with full force for 40 minutes. With 8 All-Americans on the team, Duke has a tremendous bench. In some of the recent games, there were 5 or 6 players in double figures. Jon Scheyer is my favorite player on the team. As a freshman last year, he started every game. But this year, instead of being a starter, he has been willing to be the "sixth man" and come off the bench. His challenge this year was to play like a starter, while coming off the bench, and play with a great attitude. Scheyer is definitely a winner.
