What resources do we have??     What are you talking about?

What do we have over Duke?    Certainly not tradition or achievement.     Do you really think that the Dome is an advantage over Cameron?   Attendance doesn't mean crap.   The real money is coming from TV rights not a gate.   Cameron provides a better home court advantage than does our 30K mausoleum.   In terms of recruiting I would be willing to bet that kids are just as taken with the idea of playing in Cameron as they are playing in the Dome.    It just appeals in a different way.

I don't know what kind of practice facility Duke has, but its not like they are outside playing on concrete with chain nets.    And while the Melo center appears nice, and is certainly a HUGE upgrade on Manley or the Dome or wherever we were practicing before, I am not convinced that it is a huge upgrade on what the competition has available to it.

I think your characterizations of all of the resources that we have at our disposal greatly over estimates how those resources compare to what our competition has available to it...especially if your comparison is to Duke, UNC, Louisville, UVA etc. and not to Seton Hall, Providence and St. Johns.
