Message: [QUOTE="bballbeadle, post: 2743777, member: 548"] What is the basis of the intensity of Duke/SU rivalry (which Duke would deny exists)? Coaches K & B. These guys are legends and they are nearing the end of their careers. Honestly, every game at this point is precious. I know the Duke fans are feeling this, too. The rivalry is made more interesting by their longtime friendship. It undoubtedly galls a lot of fans as well, since we tend to want to demonize our opponents. But K & B won’t go down that road. I think the game has worn more on K than on Boeheim. He has physical issues. He has had stress issues (having to leave for most of a season at one point). I can read Boeheim’s mind. - yes! I can! - and I know he hopes that K will retire and he will surpass K’s win totals. I kind of hope that as well. [/QUOTE]
