On Friday, Chris Chase showed you Duke’s "Countdown to Craziness" promotional poster,
which depicted the Blue Devils as characters from the movie Goodfellas.
Granted, Goodfellas probably didn’t even have this many characters, but
that’s beside the point, right? Right. This might not be the most
clever movie-based college basketball poster ever, but at least the
Devils are having fun with it.

Anyway, apparently Duke’s cinematic theme wasn’t a one-off. At the Midnight Madness event Friday night, the
following video — which featured Duke players reenacting famous scenes
in various recognizable films — no doubt brought the house down. Or at least forced everyone to quickly shield their eyes. I’m looking at you, Nolan Smith. Far too much of you:

Oof. Assistant coach Steve Wojiechowski gets a gold star for his
performance as a cotton-ball-cheeked Godfather, but other than that,
oof. Here’s hoping Nolan Smithat least held out for a guarantee of more playing time before his nude scene. Kate Winslet’s agent would expect nothing less.

(Also see the Duke Chronicle’s videos from the Blue Devils’ event. There was actual basketball, too!)
