For Game Day, we thought we’d feature arguably the greatest buzzer beater for Duke in the history of the Duke-UNC thang. Candidates include Gene Banks’ 1981 thriller and the double buzzer beaters by Tre Jones and Wendell Moore, but Austin Rivers’ buzzer beater just had…so much…swagger. When UNC misses, Miles Plumlee gets the rebound and […]

One of the better Duke-UNC games, at least from Duke’s point of view, came on February 28th, 1998, when Carolina visited Cameron. UNC was ranked #3 and Duke #1, but the Tar Heels took a 12-point lead into halftime before stretching it out to 17 after the break. But Duke wasn’t giving up. It had […]

When we posted this yesterday, we knew some of you would have memories that we didn’t mention and sure enough, John wrote in to remind us of the 1981 classic. This was the final home game for Kenny Dennard and Gene Banks and Banks, who was one of the most charismatic players ever at Duke, […]

There are apparently some people who still think that Cooper Flagg is the product of hype, the latest Great White Hope, but the facts on the court show how lazy that sort of thinking is. Because Flagg is just killing it. These are some stats from the last three games: Over his last 10 games, […]

Several years ago, the ACC made a move that would change the sports world as we know it and make one weekend in February one of the greatest in all of sports. The first UNC/Duke matchup was historically on a weekday night up until the 2020 season when the ACC moved it to the first […]

There are some great what-ifs in Duke Basketball history. What if Bob Verga hadn’t gotten sick just before the 1966 Final Four? What if Duke had played Texas Western instead of Kentucky? Could Mike Lewis have dealt with Big Daddy Lattin? We’ll never know. What if Bob Bender hadn’t had appendicitis during the 1980 NCAA […]

You know that concern/complaint Duke fans have had this season about the Blue Devils starting slow? For at least one night, you can strike and reverse that, because Duke started Tuesday’s game against Boston College brilliantly, but trailed off significantly later. Not that it mattered. Duke was by far the better team in this one […]

The game before the first Duke game has not been kind to North Carolina of late. In it’s past six contests before the Duke game leading up to the game against Syracuse, the Tar Heels were 1-5 with the one win being an overtime road win against Louisville. The five losses were mostly to not […]

Next up for Duke is Boston College and while BC is struggling again, the culture of this program is hard work. Earl Grant has not been able to recruit top-shelf talent, but he gets guys who are willing to play hard and that sometimes lead to surprises. In their last four games, the Eagles took […]

Duke ran its already impressive win streak to 13 with an 80-44 Sunday win over Wake Forest. Perhaps most impressive was forcing 31 turnovers from the Demon Deacons. It was a tough day for freshman guard Milan Brown, who had 7 personally. Obviously Wake wasn’t able to get much of a rhythm going; the Deacs […]

If it’s not stunning, it’s only because it’s become familiar. Still, it remains striking every time 6-9 freshman Cameron Boozer, one of the ACC’s rebounding leaders, steps out to the perimeter and calmly, smoothly launches and makes a 3-pointer as an organic part of Duke’s offense. Boozer, as is well known by now, possesses a […]

For people who never saw him play, it would be hard to explain Duke’s Jason Williams. Built like a fireplug with a low center of gravity and also strong and explosive, Williams could do anything he wanted on the basketball court. Once against UCLA, he scored 17 straight points. And while he could be flakey […]

This time was supposed to be different. Louisville with Mikel Brown was supposed to be a much tougher out. That’s what we thought, anyway. We thought it would be a really tight, challenging game. Not so much, as Duke ran the Cardinals out of the gym, 83-52. And Brown wasn’t much of a factor at […]
