Coach K Hates Fun And Games
A wonderful thing happened in Charlottesville, Va., last night: the Virginia Cavaliers defeated No. 3 Duke, 73-68. Duke losses are always something we, united in our reasonable hatred of the Blue Devils, can collectively appreciate; that this one came against an unranked bubble team playing on it...
Maryland Scores Stunning Upset: Makes Mike Krzyzewski Sound Reasonable
Maryland upset Duke yesterday 83-81 and the students rushed the court after Quinn Cook's desperation half-court shot clanged off the rim.

Lance Thomas May Have Bought Improper Jewelry While Starting For Duke's National Championship Team
In 2009, Lance Thomas, then a forward for Duke (now a New Orleans Hornet), bought $97,800 worth of jewelry at Rafaello & Co. in midtown Manhattan; he paid $30,000 upfront and the store expected him to pay off the remaining balance in 15 days.

Gold for the 2012 Dream Team proved to be a bit more elusive than expected, as foul trouble and a pesky Spanish team led to a 107-100 win, one locked up by a clever Chris Paul drive that led to coach Mike Krzyzewski leaping into the air as if he'd just purchased a Toyota. He's stepping down after...

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.

Duke Basketball Made More Insufferable With Auto-Tuned "Duke Worldwide" Music Video
Midnight Madness took place last weekend. Lots of people do insufferable things during Midnight Madness, and increasingly, they do those insufferable things on camera.

Joe Paterno On Stroking And Big Kisses, Completely Out Of Context

Kyrie Irving Ignores Obnoxious Dookie Letter, Chooses To Enter NBA Draft
Alert the Dookies: independent, self-acting human Kyrie Irving has elected to enter the NBA Draft, coach Mike Krzyzewski announced today. The freshman guard was not swayed by sarcasm. We just hope he heeds Drew's request for his departing act. [GoDuke.com]...
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....
