Hope you all had a good Labor Day. Let's give it up for the National Champion, Duke Blue Devils! We thought about inviting the Cameron Crazies here, but I didn't want any blue paint smudging my walls, so— [laughter]—we weren't sure if the risers could take it if they were jumping up and down. So you'll just have to shout and scream from your seats. We've got some big Duke fans here today, including some Members of Congress, our Transportation Secretary, a native of North Carolina, Anthony Foxx. I'd like to recognize the Chairman of Duke's Board of Trustees, David Rubenstein, who's here. Duke President Richard Brodhead is here. Athletic Director Kevin White is here. And an up-and-coming coach named Mike Krzyzewski. [Applause] Hey! Audience members. Four more years! Four more years! Four more years! The President. [Laughter] We think he has a lot of potential. [Laughter] Although, he does look the same. Have you noticed? There's like that Dorian Gray mirror thing going on somewhere. True to Coach K's Army roots, we've also got Secretary of the Army, John McHugh is here. Where's John? Right here. And our new Chief of Staff of the Army, General Mark Milley, is here as well. So it's good to see the Blue Devils again. This is the second time that I've hosted them here at the White House.

  • 2020-21 Duke Basketball
    2020-21 DUKE BASKETBALL CLIPS FILE » 2020-21 DUKE BASKETBALL | CLIPS FILE If Duke is to make a run to NCAA tourney, Mark Williams just showed how to do it By Luke DeCock, Raleigh News & Observer (March 10, 2021) GREENSBORO - At this point, after a season of false dawns, far be it from anyone to claim, presume, surmise or otherwise deduce that Duke has turned some kind of a corner. One can only fall into that trap so many times. But, just for sake of argument, if Duke were going to pull off the improbable five-in- five at the ACC tournament, or at the least win enough to actually make a legitimate case for the NCAA tournament, the way Duke has played so far in Greensboro is how Duke would have to play to make it happen. “So far” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, with Florida State looming in Thursday’s quarterfinals, but Tuesday night’s win over Boston College and Wednesday’s 70-56 win over Louisville had a lot in common, starting with the continuing emergence of freshman big man Mark Williams as an unstoppable force and on down the line. With Matthew Hurt making some unlikely shots from uncertain positions and the freshman backcourt of DJ Steward and Jeremy Roach showing considerable defensive improvement, the things Duke needed to fall into place are falling into place. There was a lot of back and forth in Wednesday’s first half — a 12-0 Duke run followed by an 16-0 Louisville run followed by a 12-0 Duke run that spilled into the second half — but the Blue Devils took firm control after that.
