Louisville Beats Duke To Advance To Final Four
Jesus. That was a bizarre game. Louisville beat Duke 85-63 and will advance to Atlanta to play Wichita State.

Actually, Duke Had No Problems Getting Off The Court In Virginia Last Night
Virginia fans stormed the court in Charlottesville last night, after the unranked Cavaliers defeated No. 3 Duke, 73-68, and Mike Krzyzewski was a bit rankled by the lack of protection for his team.

Coach K Hates Fun And Games
A wonderful thing happened in Charlottesville, Va., last night: the Virginia Cavaliers defeated No. 3 Duke, 73-68.

Former Duke Center Brian Zoubek Closes His Cream Puff Shop, Leaves A Sad Note On The Door
Remember when Brian Zoubek opened a cream puff shop in New Jersey and named it Dream Puffz? It was super adorable because Zoubek said things like, "I love to make cream puffs," and ""I'm just a fat kid, at heart." But now, sadly, Zoubek's dream of owning a cream puff shop has come to an end. Dream ...
Maryland Scores Stunning Upset: Makes Mike Krzyzewski Sound Reasonable

Some Duke Fans Chanted "How's Your Grandma?" At A Player Whose Grandma Just Died
There was some world-class jagoffery going on in the Duke student section during last night's N.C. State-Duke game. In the second half, N.C.
