Duke's 45-Game Home Winning Streak Is Over Thanks To This Florida State Buzzer-Beater
It's about the craziest (sorry, Cameronians) 15 seconds of basketball you'll get in the ACC, as Florida State's Michael Snaer connected with a buzzer-beating three-pointer to down Duke 76-73 just five seconds after the Blue Devils tied it up on an Austin Rivers layup. Credit Luke Loucks for the m...

Wait, Didn't Coach K Break The All-Time Wins Record Last Season?
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.

Christian Laettner Is Still Trolling The State Of Kentucky, Even In Charity Games
Christian Laettner is not particularly popular in the state of Kentucky. Indeed, it's argued he's the most hated man in the state, a characterization that reflects both Kentucky's basketball-first attitude and its long memory (it's been nearly 20 years since Laettner hit the buzzer-beater that led...

The Two Cops Who Beat Up A Maryland Student Last Year Have Been Indicted
The PG County mounties who went berserk on a Maryland student celebrating his basketball team's win over Duke last year have been charged with felony assault. Took long enough.

Millionaire Or Pauper: What Are College Athletes Worth?
There's a report out today that says college athletes are underpaid, and you should probably ignore it. Reading a study from the National College Players Association saying that college athletes should get more money is like reading a study from the NCAA saying student-athletes should never be paid ...

Dookie’s Obnoxious “Open Letter” To Kyrie Irving As Obnoxious As You’d Expect
Last night's NCAA title game was horrible to watch, so thank goodness Chris Cusack of the Duke Chronicle, who was apparently born with a bronzed asshole, is sending the 2011 college basketball season out on a high note by writing this very hateable open letter to Kyrie Irving....

Coach K, Please Shut Up (Also: Jalen Rose Arrested For DUI)
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....

Let Us Rejoice In Duke's Misery
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.

There is a crisis in Durham.

At the Michigan game on Sunday, the letter alleges, the Crazies practiced th...

Duke/UNC Timelapse Has All Of The Action, None Of The Dickie V

"Dear Pathetic, Ignorant Twats": The Duke/UNC War Of Words Heats Up
It's an annual tradition for the editors of the Duke Chronicle and the Daily Tar Heel to exchange trash talk letters in advance of their schools' first matchup of the season. We got them both, and boy, do the young minds of Tobacco Road have a way with words....
