Judging by the following aerial photo that the official Duke basketball accounts posted on social media over the weekend and the atmosphere on that end of the court at Countdown to Craziness on Friday night, it’s safe to assume the oldest active Crazies are fully charged for Jon Scheyer’s third campaign as head coach of the Blue Devils:

Except for the pathway cutting through the center, It looks as though the tents occupied every inch of Krzyzewskiville outside of Cameron.
