I hope you all are enjoying an amazing season of ACC basketball.  The league is a good as I can remember it from top to bottom and the competition is fierce.  Our game against Wake Forest marked the 6th time this season we have faced a top 10 in the country.  Wake has terrific talent and athleticism.  We showed great energy and a fighter’s spirit.  G and Jon were sensational.  It was the first time Coach K has had two players score thirty points in the same game – WOW!  Also, the impact and contribution that Elliot Williams has made since he has entered the starting lineup has be so important to this team.  He has set a great standard for our defense and he has given our team a real burst of energy.  We are very proud of all of our guys and the week they have had.  Our team has had some incredibly tough tests so far with more looming on the horizon.

You may have noticed the uniforms in last night’s game were different than normal.  Nike outfitted our team with new uniforms.  It was the first time a uniform like this was worn in the history of college basketball.  There was a subtle design that covered the back of the uniform that highlighted and combined the Duke Chapel and the Duke Basketball logo.  Nike did an amazing job!  The uniforms are an incredible way to connect the traditions and the cultures of Duke University on to each student-athlete’s uniform.  We were honored to wear the uniform and be a part of college basketball history.

Thanks to all our fans for the great support.  In the ACC, you don’t have time to take victory laps so we are back at work preparing for a hot and re-energized Maryland team.  Coach Williams really has his team playing well.  The Maryland team has really taken on the personality of their coach – intense, tough, and competitive.  It will be a really tough environment and our guys will need to be together and focused!

Go DUKE,

Coach Wojo
