Kyle and Casey review winter break, latest games
What’s up Duke fans? It’s been a while since we have talked with you guys, but since we’ve gotten back from our time at home we have been really busy! Before we talk about our recent games, here’s a recap of our winter breaks:
CASEY: While I was home for break I got to spend a lot of time with my family and friends back in New Jersey, eat a lot of good home-cooked food, and basically just relax. I also went back to check out my high school team play a game versus one of our rivals which was really fun. Even though it was only a few days, it was really, really nice to get to spend the holidays with my friends and family.
KYLE: After our win over Gonzaga my parents and I were supposed to fly out of New York the next day and go home for the holidays. To make a long story short our flight got canceled and our only option to get back to Oregon was to drive to Chicago so we could fly out of there. The drive from New York to Chicago was about a 13-hour adventure, and my dad drove the entire way. Once we got into Chicago around 4 AM the Scheyer family was kind enough to let us crash in their wonderful home. It was a long trip to get back home for Christmas but we made it, and it was such a great time to be home and see my family. While I was home I went to watch my brother E.J. play Idaho St. at the University of Oregon. E.J. is just a freshmen and it was fun for me to watch him play. As his older brother having already experienced freshman year, I could relate to what he was doing out on the court. Being home was a quick trip but I enjoyed every moment of it.
We got back to school on the 26th and everyone was definitely rejuvenated from their time at home. We played Long Beach State and Penn as our last games in 2009, and then got our first ACC win against Clemson. We got back to Durham after our trip to Chicago early on Thursday morning. Iowa State was a really good team and playing at the United Center was awesome! We always love playing in the NBA arenas and seeing all the great Duke fans in different cities too. We got another solid win, and it was really cool for Jon and Coach to come back to Chicago and for us to see all of the friends and family that were there to support them and our whole team. Lance had another awesome game, and right now he is our pick for mid-season Defensive Player of the Year. We’ve had a busy week and a half since getting back from Winter Break, and we have won four games, with one more game Saturday at Georgia Tech before school starts up. It’s been a great ride so far and we are looking forward to the New Year because what a great new year it is going to be!
Before we go, here are the S&P 1253’s latest BUYS and SELLS:
BUYS: New Jersey’s famous Pork Roll, egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches; Avatar 3D; our new fish and frogs at the apartment; WigWam socks; and time at home with the family
SELLS: We don’t have too many SELLS from the holiday weeks, but two things that we are definitely selling are Paranormal Activity and game-changing injuries in National Championship games.
