Of Duke And Its Discontents

It's such a simple recipe for happiness: A Terps win combined with Duke getting bounced from the NCAA Tournament. To top it off, the VCU victory over Duke produced this video clip of Greg Paulus flopping to the floor in an attempt to draw a charge. The beauty of this video is beyond description. I've watched this clip almost 20 times now. I may watch it 20 more times this evening. Prior to this, my favorite basketball clip of this year was of Deron Washington's nether region almost smacking Paulus' face as Washington jumps OVER his head. Look at that jump! Still, move over Deron, because Paulus has been taking lessons from the Gilardino School of Diving.
