Luol Deng, who played a year of college basketball for Duke University, was awarded the NBA sportsmanship award. Of the 5 other divisional winners for the award, Shane Battier and Elton Brand also played for Coach K and the Duke Blue Devils. Three out of six isn’t too bad!

Blue March
March 13, 2005 – 7:28 pm
My favorite college basketball team, the Duke Blue Devils, won the ACC tournament today for the 6th time in the last 7 years (lost the title game in OT last year). What’s remarkable about the win is that they didn’t make a field goal for the final 11 minutes of the game, until Sheldon Williams [...]
NCAA Basketball Top 25
October 18, 2004 – 1:54 pm
ESPN.com has 4 ACC teams ranked in their preseason top 10 and Duke in the next group at #14. Think the ACC doesn’t dominate college basketball? Think again.
I was disappointed when Luol Deng went pro and one of the top high school players in the country decided to pass up Duke for the NBA, but [...]
Coach K Stays

Coach K turned down the Lakers offer to stay at Duke. Good choice coach!
The End Of March Madness
April 6, 2004 – 12:04 pm
March Madness came to an end last night with the University of Connecticut winning the championship over Georgia Tech. It wasn’t much of a game as UConn led the whole way and the 82-73 final score only looks somewhat close because GT hit about a million three pointers in the final minute. Not to discredit [...]

I haven’t been updating regularly lately so I thought I’d do a little catching up…
March MADNESS
March 21, 2004 – 9:42 pm
It has been one hell of an NCAA Tournament so far, and it’s only the first weekend! We’ve seen two number 1 seeds fall, Stanford (ESPN’s pick to win it all) and Kentucky (Dick Vitale’s pick to win it all). Duke (my pick) is one of the few teams to dominate both of their games.
I [...]
Duke Beats UNC Again
March 7, 2004 – 12:03 am
Wow…WOW…what a great game! It was back and forth the whole game. I think the biggest lead either team had was 6 points. Duke came out on top 70-65 in one of the greatest rivalries in all of sports.
Luol Deng, coming off the worst game of his freshmen year, played phenomenal. He had a career [...]
This And That
February 22, 2004 – 5:35 pm
Went out to an 80’s bar last night with a few friends and ended up staying until closing time. As a result I’m feeling a little “under the weather” today. The bar is pretty cool…they have a big screen TV that they play videos on while the song is playing, so you get the feeling [...]
Instant Classic

Duke vs. North Carolina.
The greatest rivalry in college basketball. Tonight’s game was at North Carolina and it was an awesome game. The Duke Blue Devils will be driving back home to Durham, North Carolina as a team that has won 16 straight games and holds onto the #1 ranking in the country. It was a [...]

Being at a visitation and a funeral may make for the most exhausting two days a person can handle.
