CALL ME "JOHNS WALTERS"

About the name of one of our two competitors, via Wikipedia:

Milton Eisenhower, a president of JHU, was once invited to speak to a convention in Pittsburgh. Making a common mistake, the emcee introduced him as "President of John Hopkins." Eisenhower retorted that he was "glad to be here in Pittburgh."[13]

The peculiar first name of philanthropist Johns Hopkins is the surname of his great-grandmother, Margaret Johns, who married Gerard Hopkins. They named their son Johns Hopkins, and his name was passed on to his grandson, the university's founder (1795-1873).

Johns Hopkins was founded in 1876 following a $7 million grant by Johns Hopkins hisself (the equivalent of $131 million today). Hopkins was America's first research university, the first to teach through seminars as opposed to just lectures and the first to offer undergraduate majors.

Duke, I can tell you from personal experience, boasts some of the country's most talented Texas Hold-'Em players.

Duke just entered the stadium as U2's "City of Blinding Lights" was playing. Don't think they planned it that way but the effect was powerful.

And now we begin:

Twelve seconds into the first quarter, and Hopkins already scored. Rabil an assist to Jake Byrne.
