I think they just broke Dick Vitale.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:00 PM ^
Dicky V is losing it.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:00 PM ^
When does that ever happen?
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:01 PM ^
They are losing by 35! Pretty unreal, watch them drop to like #4 after this.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:01 PM ^
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:04 PM ^
Duke is fouling with under a minute left and down 30? Really?
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:05 PM ^
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:04 PM ^
Duke got 60 and Miami only won by 29.
Here comes the court rush!
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:05 PM ^
90-63
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:05 PM ^
/this is probably overreaction but it seems very duke like to me
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:07 PM ^
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:07 PM ^
Wow, I actually typed that with a straight face. I'm going back to my beer and not type all the immature things I want to say about Coach K right now.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:35 PM ^
I cant take your post serious with that avatar pic..Hilarious
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:08 PM ^
I wonder if Coach K was harping on them saying they'd better work hard to the last second. There was a play in the 2nd half where they inbounded the ball after giving up a bucket,and Miami came and stole it, took a shot, missed, got the rebound again. At that point you could tell Coach K was going Brian kelly on the sideline.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:05 PM ^
and near upsets tonight. I'm so happy we play tomorrow night.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:06 PM ^
Jinx That ! Canes win 90-63
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:11 PM ^
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:06 PM ^
Jebus, 27 points? Has Duke ever lost by 27 points?
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:16 PM ^
I think Clemson blew them out 74-47 a few years ago.
Years ago, maybe in the early 90s, I think they lost by 30 to UNLV too, but I could be wrong.
January 24th, 2013 at 10:00 AM ^
Oh yeah, and on bigger stages than this. They lost BIG to UNLV in the 1991 championship game by 30 points, 103-73.
January 24th, 2013 at 11:24 AM ^
That Duke-UNLV game was the last college basketball game played before the Fab Five hit the scene.
At a press conference before the championship game the next year, when Michigan was set to play Duke, reporters asked the Fab Five what they had been doing a year ago as high school students.
Jalen: "I was home in Detroit, rooting for UNLV."
Ray: "I was home in Texas, rooting for UNLV."
Chris: "I was in my living room, rooting for UNLV."
Jimmy: "I was at my friend's house, rooting for UNLV."
(From "The Fab Five," by Mitch Albom)
January 24th, 2013 at 11:45 PM ^
1990. Then they upset undefeated UNLV next year in the Final 4. #payback
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:06 PM ^
Gotta beat Purdue and @ Illinois if we want that #1 beside our name.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:07 PM ^
Dang, this title needs to be changed.
#1 Duke goes down by 30
#9 Butler loses at LaSalle
#8 Florida down at the half to a terrible Georgia team
#17 Creighton getting blown out at a middling Drake team
What in the world is going on tonight?
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:12 PM ^
I'm happy we play tomorrow night. Hah.
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:08 PM ^
F***. Duke.

Was the definition of evisceration...
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:15 PM ^
Miami had that lead at halftime, lol. This was a perfect storm of a college bball game. Rarely does a team hang 70 on Duke, so 90 is hilarious (with 80 of those points coming in the paint, lol.)
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:17 PM ^
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:19 PM ^
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:18 PM ^
Seth Curry was 0-10 from the field... ouch
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:21 PM ^
For all the #1 talk we've got to take care of two things:
- Win our games vs. Purdue and Illinois
- Hope Kansas doesn't pass us (17 game win streak they are on?)
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:31 PM ^
Kansas beat a solid team in K-State, more recently than we did I might add. We don't have as much flash-in-the-pan after this week even if we win both games.
Also I'm bugged that we'll probably be #2 in USA Today/Coaches poll, but that's just me...
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:48 PM ^
I still don't see how an 18-1 Kansas team would pass a 19-1 Mich team if both win out. Both teams have 1 loss to a ranked team, and 2 wins against ranked teams. The only edge Kansas has is that they have 2 road wins over ranked teams.
Michigan having an extra game over Kansas is just too much for them to pass us in the AP poll. At the same time, no way we pass them in the Coaches.
January 23rd, 2013 at 10:00 PM ^
I don't see how it doesn't make sense. I'm not talking about the AP where we would undoubtedly be #1. Polls tend to follow the "step-up" approach. The better question is, when Kansas leads M this week in the Coaches' Poll, beats a ranked team on the road and (hypothetically) a top-25 RPI team in Oklahoma while Michigan beats two unranked teams (again, hypothetically), why in the world would they switch the two around?
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:38 PM ^
Duke students always get mad when they don't get a chance to enjoy the team at their best.
(Note: If you're too young for Elton Brand, this was the Duke student that got pissed because he declared early for the NBA before she could sleep with him.)
January 23rd, 2013 at 10:59 PM ^
January 23rd, 2013 at 11:12 PM ^
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:51 PM ^
Purdue makes me nervous now. I think I'd be less nervous if they were a ranked team but now they make me nervous in a underdog/i-hope-we-arent-sleeping-on-this-game way
January 23rd, 2013 at 10:27 PM ^
January 23rd, 2013 at 9:59 PM ^
January 23rd, 2013 at 10:50 PM ^
Did idiot Lunardi tweet out to "The Duke Haters" about how they are still the best team in the country yet?
January 23rd, 2013 at 10:55 PM ^
Umm, so that Minnesota win might be losing some of its luster. Gophers down 9 with 4 to go at Northwestern.
January 23rd, 2013 at 11:06 PM ^
Unless it's Penn State, all losses in conference get chalked up to how strong this conference is. If anything, I'd like to see NW get hot and back on the bubble. That would boost our profile a bit more.
January 23rd, 2013 at 11:00 PM ^
I mean we have one at both venues so it won't hurt RPI, I believe.
January 23rd, 2013 at 11:04 PM ^
We have one what?
January 23rd, 2013 at 11:17 PM ^
January 23rd, 2013 at 11:53 PM ^
Dude, you obviously should've said "I forgot to say 'one win at each venue'".
