Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski earned what was advertised as his 903rd career victory in Madison Square Garden last night, setting a new NCAA record. Odd as it is to imagine the Duke/Coach K publicity machine underselling something, it's worth noting that the 74-69 win over Michigan State could also be counted as Krzyzewski's 907th career victory. He could have celebrated his record-breaking win eight months ago, when the Blue Devils beat Michigan 73-71 in the second round of the NCAA tournament. More »

The daughter of a Duke alumnus has filed a lawsuit against her sister, her brother-in-law, and Duke University for her inherited right to sit among these fine young men and women at Cameron Indoor Stadium all season long. Katina Dorton is seeking damages for the "fraudulent transfer" of two season tickets that had belonged to her late father. Duke, it seems, is only a family institution when the family is not interfering with the institution's basketball team: More »

P.J. Hairston, the No. 13 senior in the country, according to people who believe in the mostly arbitrary rankings of high school students, announced over the weekend that he would attend the University of North Carolina. The 6'4" swingman, who finished up his prep career at the Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Va., told the Greensboro News-Record that he'd chosen UNC over Dook in part because they'd often misspelled or simply improvised his name in their literature: More »

We do some Duke-hating around these parts. And maybe a hair too much of it, if you ask no one. I mean, hey, Duke lost to VCU in 2007 in the first round, before it was cool. More »

The Duke University men's basketball team has earned a special privilege in college sports and within March Madness: It will never be considered the underdog. As far as we're concerned, for as long as Coach K is patrolling the sideline and as long as his hair stays a surreal jet-black, Duke will exist solely to be on the wrong side of an upset. We watch them to watch them lose and we hope they will look sad while doing so. And last night, they lost to a team that for 20 minutes made them seem lazy on defense and inferior on offense, and they looked so very sad when it was all over. More »

There is a crisis in Durham. Dennis and Elizabeth Chen, '02 and '00 Duke grads and presumably husband and wife, wrote a letter to the Duke Chronicle proposing a Crazie-off challenge to the university's current student body. At the Michigan game on Sunday, the letter alleges, the Crazies practiced the wrong kind of Duke entitlement — they presumed victory instead of demanding it with their trademark jazz hands. The Chens write: More »

It was senior day at Cameron Indoor Stadium last night, and the Blue Devils honored their three seniors with a 70-59 win over Clemson. But the first half didn't go exactly as Coach K foresaw it, and he attempted to inspire and/or terrify his players by throwing a folding chair during a timeout. In the history of chair-throwing, it's a fairly subdued effort; he's got a ways to go before he can really grow up and be just like Bob Knight. More »

The federal taxman says Reade Seligmann, he of the Duke wrongful-rape-accusation scandal, owes the IRS $6,492,377 million in income tax. The income in question came from 2007, which is the same year Seligmann et al reached a settlement with the school to "eliminate the possibility of future litigation." More »
