DeMarcus Nelson, Greg Paulus, and Josh McRoberets named captains

Posted On: September 21, 2006 By: Cliff Comments: (more)

Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski announced that junior guard DeMarcus Nelson, sophomore guard Greg Paulus and sophomore forward Josh McRoberts were named team captains for the 2006-07 season. Paulus and McRoberts become the first sophomores to be named team captains in the 102-year history of the Duke men’s basketball program.

Talk about some leadership coming from the stud sophomores in Paulus and McRoberts. They are going to have a huge load to fill and hopefully will take it all in and really put this team on their backs and guide them to another ACC Championship.

The Blue Devils open the 2006-07 campaign on Sunday, Nov. 12 at home against Columbia in the opening round of the College Basketball Experience Classic. Tip-off for the season opener is set for 8:30 p.m. Get your tickets for home opener here! Guranteed tickets at a great price!
