The Duke Blue Devils were stunned in the Sweet 16 again, this time by the Arizona Wildcats in a 91-74 loss.
Duke held a six-point lead at halftime and seemed to be, for the most part, in control of the game.
The second half was a different story, as it seemed like nothing could go right for the favored Blue Devils.
The team seemed really rattled by Arizona, and Duke was missing a ton of open shots and turning the ball over entirely too much. ( Read More…)

The Duke Blue Devils opened up defense of their national championship with an 87-45 thumping of the Hampton Pirates.
The game was of great importance because it marked the return of freshman sensation Kryie Irving.
The point guard came off the bench and got off to a sluggish start, but eventually seemed to find his footing.
He actually finished with a game-high 14 points as the game got out of hand fairly early in the contest. ( Read More…)

The Duke Blue Devils won another ACC tournament title with a 75-58 win over the North Carolina Tar Heels.
Duke sprinted out to an early lead and never looked back, turning back a few half-hearted Carolina comeback attempts.
The Blue Devils got great play out of the usual suspects, but it was the performances by the Plumlee brothers and Ryan Kelly that really stood out.
It was the third ACC tournament title for seniors Nolan Smith and Kyle Singler, and now they hope to win their second national championship. ( Read More…)

Duke Blue Devils freshman star Kyrie Irving is unlikely to return to the team this year or next season.
The point guard is currently rehabbing from a strange toe injury that has cost him much of the season.
There was hope that Irving may be able to return for the ACC and NCAA tournaments, but the Blue Devils aren’t going to take any chances with his basketball career.
Despite the injury, Irving is still projected to be one of the top picks in the NBA Draft and is highly unlikely to return to Duke for his sophomore year. ( Read More…)

The Duke Blue Devils usually feel at home in Madison Square Garden, but it was anything but cozy during a 93-78 loss to the St. John’s Red Storm.
Duke came out cold and sluggish and watched as St. John’s built a 21-point lead by the intermission.
Duke’s outside shooting was horrific until the final three minutes, and they were 1-21 from the three-point line at one point in the second half.
Once the Blue Devils fell behind by double-digits, they applied a full-court press that hurt them more than it helped. ( Read More…)
