Scraping by isnt enough

Duke advances to 18-3 after a non conference win yesterday, although Coach K is not impressed with Dukes performance at all. The coach told the press that "We did enough to win, which makes me sick to say that, that is not who I am or what this program is." Next week the Blue Devils will travel to Miami for a non conference game against the hurricane.

So close but yet so far away

Duke was only one win away from breaking the most wins at home record but unfortunatley lost to Florida State 76-73. This was there first loss at home since Febuary 11th of 2009 although the record they were trying to beat is also held by a previous Duke basketball team.

About to break some records

Since my last post the Duke Blue Devils mens basketball team has won two games and is only a couple games away from breaking the record of most consecutive wins in a row at home games. There played the Virginia Cavilers on January 12th at home and came out victorious 61-58. Duke was losing in the first half because the Cavilers were just beating them offensively, after half time Dukes defense was unstoppable for the 3rd quarter then started to slow down giving Virginia a chance to catch up but Plumlee stopped two game saving shots to end it without going into overtime. Four days later the played the Clemson Tigers and was alos victorious with a 73-66 win and Dawkins for the Devils swept Clemson with individual stats of 24 points in 27 minutes.

Duke Blue Devils

I will be starting a weekly blog on the Duke Blue Devils Mens Basket Ball Team. I chose Duke because I have I started filling out the march madness brackets around my sophomore year and always favored Duke to win. Im always watching espn so I will be able to keep up on the Blue Devils. As of know the Blue Devils are ranked 5th in the nation with a recored of 13-2. There losses were to the Temple Owls and Ohio State Buckeyes, although after losing to two ranked teams in the nation they held off the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets for a big win. There next game is this thursday against the Virginia Cavilers in Virginia. My prediction is they will beat Virgina by a six or seven point spread.
