Kyle and Casey Send Holiday Greetings, Thoughts on Cameron North
What’s up Duke fans!! We are on our first day of Winter break today! Last night we got a big time win against Gonzaga. We knew going into the game that Gonzaga was a really good team, and we prepared well for the game. Playing at the Garden is something that we’ll always remember, and it makes it even better when our whole team plays great together and we get to come away with a big W heading into break!
We finished up finals before heading to New York and it always is a great feeling when you finish up a semester strong. Finals week is really busy for all of us, but once its over your hard work feels even more rewarding. Our academic advisor, Kenny King, is helpful all of the time, but he really keeps us all focused and feeling confident throughout the week. You can always count on a text from Kenny a few hours before your exams letting you know that, “You’re going to ace it buddy!! Good Luck!!” Kenny really is awesome!
Once finals finished up we were able to get back to more full time practices. The coaches are really helpful during finals week, and they work around our schedules and when we have papers due, exams, tutoring sessions, etc. So once we all finished up all of our work, we all were ready to get back out on the court together and prepare for some games!
New York was awesome. On Friday night we went to dinner at Sparks Steakhouse in the city. The steaks were incredible! The game went great on Saturday. We played our defense for forty minutes and it really turned out well! After the game some of us left directly from the Garden to go home with our family and friends who had come to the game. The coaches and a few of our teammates went back on the plane to Durham, but it definitely wasn’t nearly as filled as it was on the way to NYC. Getting to see our families is always awesome, especially after a big W. The weather on Saturday night got a little nasty, and it started to snow pretty hard. The guys on the plane back to Durham didn’t get delayed too long, but some of us got delayed over night in NYC. Luckily everyone who was delayed in New York had their families with them!
Our buys/sells for this week…
BUY: “Cameron North”, as a fan nicknamed Madison Square Garden, where we have learned to love to play and win! We’re also buying Christmas music playing out on the court before the game! Whatever songs they were blasting at the Garden, it definitely got us going!
SELL: We are selling being stuck in an airport, definitely not fun.
We are all looking forward to spending the Holidays at home with our families and friends, and wanted to say thanks to all of you for all of your support that you give us!! Have a safe and happy Holidays, and we will have our next entry out soon!!
