Duke Beats Michigan, Coaches Take On Cancer

Coach K and the Blues Devils took home the title in the 2K Sports Classic at Madison Square Garden. Duke was able to easily defeat Michigan 71-56, despite a 25 point performance by the Wolvernines' Manny Harris. The Blue Devils won all four of their games in the 2K Sports Classic by an average of 28.5 points, which just happens to match the dollar amount for which the devil purchased Coach K's soul. • UNC's golden son Tyler Hansbrough played well in his first game back on the court after his season was delayed by a minor leg injury. The Tar Heels knocked off UC Santa Barbara in a 84-67 win. According to UNC coach Roy Williams, Hansbrough was a gametime decision, a decision that I'm sure was influenced by the injury to the "other Tyler" Zeller. But players injuries seem to be the least of the problems with last night's game. According to the wire reports,"Santa Barbara's rabid students were warned by the public address announcer before tip-off to keep their chants clean." Boy, there is nothing worse than fans with rabies. • Stephen Curry had yet another impressive performance with 30 points and a career-high 13 assists in Davidson's 97-70 trouncing of Winthrop last night. The nation's leading scorer is making his transition from shooting guard to point guard quite well. "I'm still making mistakes out there, making careless turnovers," Curry insisted. "I've got to figure out how to control the ball a little better. I think in transition I've got it pretty much where I need to be." I'm filling in my bracket already. Davidson FTW.
