Before Mike Krzyzewski got to Duke in 1980, we had the relatively brief Bill Foster era. Foster was more of a builder than a sustainer. He did a nice job at Rutgers, then again at Utah, before moving to Duke. He found some underappreciated talent in Jim Spanarkel, then Mike Gminski when he was college-eligible […]

After the joy that came from UNC’s comeback and eventual buzzer-beating win over Duke last weekend, it was followed up with a bit of a thud. Earlier this week, the Tar Heels went on the road at Miami and were put away by the Hurricanes, having never lead. Even more worryingly, Caleb Wilson exited the […]

The ACC did the Tar Heels no favors by scheduling a road game just days after their big showdown with Duke. North Carolina promptly responded by going down to South Florida and losing by nine to a Hurricane’s team that was in desperate need of a signature win. The Tar Heels were all too happy […]

After Saturday’s loss in Chapel Hill, Duke is off to Pitt to take the measure of Jeff Capel’s Panthers. And that’s an interesting team. There’s no question that at 9-15, Pitt is struggling. They’ve only won twice since December 30th, with a solid win over Georgia Tech, 89-66, and an 80-76 overtime win over Wake […]
