Duke is headed to the Final Four. The Blue Devils took down Alabama in the Elite 8, answering everything the Tide brought to the court. Jon Scheyer's strategic scheduling and roster building around Cooper Flagg paid off for his first NCAA Tournament semifinal as head coach. Not bad for the guy who had to replace Coach K.

In the Mar. 28th edition of OG Mailbag, Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio run through several questions submitted by OG Fans subscribers.

• Has Jon Scheyer exceeded expectations at Duke?
• Measuring success for Belichick & Wade in first year?
• UNC fan gatekeeping
• Consistency over one-off success?
• What kind of turntable should you buy?

...and more!

It looked like Duke was going to cruise past Arizona coming out of halftime, but a combination of foul trouble for the Blue Devils and a massive scoring run for the Wildcats made for a tight game down the stretch. Cooper Flagg lead all Devils with 30 points. Meanwhile, Caleb Love, added to his basketball lore with a game high 35 points and 5-10 from 3. Duke will see Alabama in the Elite 8.

Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio open the podcast reacting to Will Wade's introduction at NC State. If fans value "winning the press conference", Wade certainly accomplished that. However, it goes a little deeper than speaking Wolfpack fan love languages. For the first time in decades, the opportunity is there for NC State basketball to run with the top teams in the ACC. Meanwhile, in Chapel Hill, the hard reset has begin for the Tar Heels. Elliot Cadeau headlines the story now that he's transferring from North Carolina. However, there's more going on behind the scenes for Hubert Davis. The Athletic's Brendan Marks joins the podcast to discuss UNC dragging themselves into the modern era of college basketball.

It's Stephen A. Smith's sports media world. Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio are just living in it. His latest take on the NCAA Tournament, where he declares the lack of Cinderellas in the Sweet 16 as the potential "death of March Madness", is a doozy. However, it highlights what is important for college basketball -- casuals. Elsewhere in college basketball, the portal opens and Dan Hurley finally fulfilled Ovies' prophecy of fans tiring of his inconsistent act. Mike Maniscalco drops by to discuss the surging Carolina Hurricanes. Is it time to recalibrate Stanley Cup Playoff expectations for this group or have they remained the same since the beginning of the season? Mitch Northam and Shelby Swanon join the podcast to highlight local and national angles to the NCAA Women's Tournament.

Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio flip the script on NCAA Tournament storylines. It's not about intriguing matchups focused on coaches anymore. It's about players. Which brings us to Caleb Love vs. Duke Part 10. The "Tar Heel 4 Life" will see the Blue Devils in the Sweet 16, creating a lot of new Arizona fans out in Chapel Hill. NC State formally announced the hiring of Will Wade as their next basketball coach. What are the realistic expectations in Raleigh? And who is this "Aura" guy? In the Lightning Round, the guys play good cop / bad cop with the Carolina Hurricanes.

Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio fire up the "After Dark" following a terrible, no good showing for the ACC in the NCAA Tournament. North Carolina's mojo ran out against Ole Miss, while Louisville and Clemson were one-and-done for #MarchMadness. That leaves Duke as the lone ACC team in the tournament. Can the Blue Devils pull it off?
