Perhaps The Duke Hatred Has Gone Too Far

I don't know if you're aware of this, but it seems that sometimes Duke players take cheap shots, and then flop when there's retaliation! (Sits down in shock, fans self with NCAA Tournament program). We just can't say goodbye to the Blue Devils this season without showing you this, from the fine folks at Awful Announcing. More »
Duke Takes One Last Flop For The Road

ncaa tournament
The initial rush of excitement that the NCAA Tournament brings us often disguises the fact that the games themselves sometimes disappoint. The upsets we crave, the upsets that excite us about all this in the first place — the first weekend is always more of an "event" than the national championship game — don't come as often as we dream they do. There really weren't any major ones last year; we haven't had an epic one since Northwestern State over Iowa two years ago. But last night ... we almost had the greatest one of all. More »

1. It's Pronounced "SHY-er fah-SAY." Photos of it are center (and roommate) Brian Zoubek's desktop background. "Weird," says guard Gerald Henderson. "It's just weird." They're referring, of course, to the infamous (Jon) Scheyer Face, found on the mug of Duke's sixth man. Judging only by his expressions, Scheyer passes a basketball like Al Swearengen passes his kidney stones. Still, at least he always looks like he's trying out there. Scheyerfacing is a fond pastime of opposing ACC fans, largely because PhotoShop doesn't require basic literacy to use. Two of my personal favorites are here. In other news referencing famous pictures of Duke hoopsters, here's your annual Reggie Love update. More »

Your Definitive Duke-UNC Photo
No matter who wins in any particular North Carolina-Duke game, all one can really ask for is a perfect photo that encapsulates all the boasting the winning team has earned. We'd say this one covers it pretty well. More »

I Am Here To Provide Kids Like You With A Game Plan For... WHAT THE F#!K KINDA CALL WAS THAT, YOU F$^KING JEW F*@K?
Welcome back to the Deadspin Guest Lecture Series. Each week, we'll be inviting various luminaries from the world of sports - players, coaches, broadcasters, and MORE! - to speak to you Deadspin folks. This week: Duke coach and shining beacon for all that is right in college basketball, Mike Krzyzewski.
You know, the program here at Duke is unlike any other program in Division I basketball. I know other coaches like to tell kids like you that you'll get starter's minutes the second you enroll here, but we don't do that here at Duke. You may start your freshman year, true, but I'm not going to put you out on that court unless I know you're in a position to succeed. I WANT you to succeed. I WANT you to play at your best. Which is why I'm not going to make any empty promises to you. I'd like to think we're a different kind of program in that regard. Yes, I'm here to help you succeed in basketball, but I'm also here to provide kids like you with a game plan for...

Duke Shows Off For Lover Vitale
We could go into a ton of detail about the Duke-North Carolina game last night, how Duke is probably the best team in the country right now just a year after a first-round tournament upset, or about how Coach K is able to adjust and elude irrelevance in a way Bob Knight wasn't able to late in his career, but we're gonna hold off on that, because, sheesh, what do we know? Instead we're going to talk about Dick Vitale. More »

Time For Blue Devils, Tar Heels Again
Even though our guys are falling apart and college basketball mostly exists right now solely to make us sad, it's impossible not to be fired up by a fiery North Carolina-Duke game when both teams are in the top five. And Vitale's back tonight too. They should have eased him in with a Gonzaga game or something. More »

Pick Your Poison: Duke Or UNC
The College Basketball Closer is written by the gang at Storming The Floor.
Partisans of other teams might want to argue that their rivalries are at least as good as Carolina/Duke. If a complete break with reality has occurred, those imaginary people might even claim theirs is better. But I'm here to tell you that this blue on blue crime, perpetrated twice each season, is the mountaintop in college basketball.

Revenge Of The Duke Hobbits
Jonah Keri writes the college basketball closer (more or less) daily. E-mail your questions, comments or Clarence Ceasar-related memories to jonahkeri@gmail.com.
Return to the Scheyer. Duke's hobbit-like swingman potted 16 points in the first half and 21 in the game, as No. 7 Duke rolled over Florida State 70-57. OK, Scheyer's skinny frame and crazy facial expressions probably make the whole Lord of the Rings comp a bit of a stretch. But we'll use any excuse to link to cheesecake shots of Rosie Cotton. As for Scheyer, he's emerged as one of the best sixth men/M.O.T.s in the country, after starting last year as a freshman. He's also the author of a famous high school performance, in which he scored 21 points in a span of 75 seconds. Plus Scheyer's creative shot-making last night was almost enough to make you forget about the horrendous charging fouls called on FSU in the first half, the flops by Nolan Smith and Taylor King being the most egregious since...the last time Duke played. (Ed. Note: More on this later today.)

Get This ... Duke Now Hates ESPN
As we all know, Duke basketball and ESPN grew up together; slept on each other's sofas, double-dated, brought each other homework when the other was too hung over to make it to class. But now the relationship has become frosty. Hey, we all grow up, man. Duke and ESPN just don't like all of the same things anymore. From Duke Basketball Report: More »

Yet Another Reason Never To Visit Hawaii
OK, maybe Duke's a little better than we realized. And maybe Illinois still hasn't learned how to shoot. Here you see Brian Randle, fouling someone, as usual. Duke's good again, everybody: Spread the word. Then cringe.
