Another GREAT comeback by this Blue Devil team. Down 20, with 11 minutes to go Seth Curry goes into TAKEOVER mode. Give Austin Rivers credit for playing a complimentary roll to Seth while he is hot, not trying to do it on his own. I knew going into t ...

This must be the earliest that the ACC has posted one of these so I thought I would honor them by posting it now: http://www.theacc.com/live/2012-acc-basketball-match-center-virginia-tech-at-duke.html There is no split and it's a Saturday game so pretty much all of the affiliates possible are showing the game. I am still confused as to why they cannot spell the name of my hometown...

I thought there might be a thread already on a game that has huge implications in so many ways. In a sense, this is the biggest game to date for Duke with the conference regular season at stake. This should be a barn burner for sure and I personally cannot wait for tip off in that this will be a brawl. The players seem ready for the challenge, especially Austin Rivers. Here is what he had to...

Huge game for Duke. I wish it were shown on something besides ESPN3, but I'll be listening. Right now the ACC is crowding the top 10 with Miami, Maryland and Duke taking spots 5-7. Beyond the rankings, this game will figure into our tourney seed, which is a pretty big deal this year with a regional in Raleigh. ESPN's bracketology (http://espn.go.com/womens-college-basketball/bracketology) has us...

Was mir die Facebook erzählt is that the drumbeats for Rick Stansbury's job are getting insistent, after a series of close losses and so-so seasons. Bulldogs have come out like their butts are on fire against Kentucky in Starkville tonight. Dee Bost schooled us on the lost art of the bounce pass. I wonder what color Calipari's hair is. Stansbury too come to think.
21 February 2012 | 8:25 pm
I just thought it useful to point out two specific examples from tonight that might help provide a little perspective about our team and season so far. Missouri (#3) lost at home by 10 to a decent but unranked K-State team. G-Town (#9) lost to an unranked Seton Hall team on the road by almost 20. (Also, as I write this Michigan (#11) is losing to a very mediocre Northwestern team at the half...
21 February 2012 | 8:22 pm
Much better showing by the Wolfpack so far.... UNC took it to them early but they're right back in it. If Howell can stay out of foul trouble (he has two so far) they have a chance.

If so there was a whale of a prima donna situation in Arizona this morning. The last remaining somewhat highly rated recruit Davonte Neal (Top 100, but no 5 star super stud) was set to commit. The kid and his father pushed his decision well past signing day. Lots of insiders said the kid and father were trouble while others said they were making an informed decision on their "own" timetable. ...

One of the perks of being laid up in bed sick on President's Day is that I got to watch some old Duke games. One of the games that I watched was the 1994 National Championship game against Arkansas. While it still pains me to watch Scotty Thurman drain that prayer of a 3 pointer, I came away so thoroughly impressed with the all around game that Grant Hill had. Grant has always been on of my...

21 February 2012 | 8:53 am
Quick question regarding all-time stats and point totals. How has Duke typically incorporated individual player stats on the limited transfer players coming into Duke? With Rashawn and Dahntay, did their previous stats come with them for career totals? Just wondering as I am sure Seth is way over the 1,000 point total in his college career, counting his freshman year at Liberty. Barring the...

Oden is out, again, for the season, after yet another microfracture surgery. Considering that Oden was regarded as possibly the next Bill Russell coming out of college, it made me think about others whose careers were cut short before they ever really got going. Here's an off-the-top-of-my-head all-time "What If?" team: Oden, Len Bias, Maurice Stokes, Jason Williams, Hank Gathers I'm not...

From ACC press release. "Boston College senior shortstop Anthony Melchionda has been named the first Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Week of the 2012, while Duke right-hander Robert Huber earned Pitcher of the Week honors. Duke’s Huber held No. 5 Texas to two hits in six shutout innings to lead the Blue Devils to a 5-2 win over the Longhorns on Sunday. Huber matched a career high...

We all tend to become overly sentimental of the past and occasionally allow that to cloud what the best decisions should be for the future. I get the whole historic rivalry situation and Al had a long piece about State and UNC. But he left out something, while he pointed out that Duke-Maryland wasn't as big a rivalry beyond the brief early 00's since Duke has dominated the series before and...

It's time to state the obvious. This Duke team is a BAD defensive team. Not average, not okay, but BAD (80+ on the Pomeroy metric). I don't see any major corrections happening either for the rest of the year. The backcourt is EASILY beaten off the dr ...
