Duke once again has proved the press wrong, they managed to hold of the Virginia Tech Hokies in overtime to beat them and move up one spot in the Ap and Usa today rankings. Duke will win when bet against it seems like, all five commentators put the Hokies to win and Duke came out victorious.
Duke is once again starting to become a threat because they have only lost two games and one was to the Hokies and there next game is against the Florida State Seminoles who was there second loss. March madness is right around the corner and the Blue Devils are coming in hot.

It all comes down to this
The Blue Devils are on cloud 9 after beating the Boston College Eagles to put them back on top of the ACC with North Carolina and Florida State. Although this win streak isnt enough for them to have much breathing room, they only have 5 regular season games left and two of the 5 are the Tar Heels and the Seminoles.
Duke has all pistons going at this point in the season which is a good thing but also a bad thing, the good news is they will blow through these next 5 games with 5 wins and go into march madness with alot of confidence. Unfortunatley though for the past couple years Duke has a cake walk through the first couple rounds and has got shut out by a team that wasnt even seeded. My predictions, I cant really tell you anything forshore but I do know that I havent seen Duke at a stride like this in a long time.

Raining 3's
The biggest rivalry in all sports took place in Chapel Hill North Carolina last week with the #9 ranked Blue Devils playing the #5 ranked Tar Heels. Every professional predicted North Carolina to win, fortunatley freshman Austin Rivers threw it up from 7 feet off the 3 point line with 1 second left and drained it to upset North Carolina by one point.
It was quite a cinderella story for Rivers that night considering he never stepped foot on the court against the Tar Heels, scoring a career high of 29 points,not to mention 24 of them were 3 pointers and making the game winning shot in the biggest rivalry in all of sports. I will be excited to see what Coach K can turn this kid into.

Got some work to do
The Devils were previously upset by the Miami Hurricanes in this weekends game, which will be no help at all getting a better seat in the Top 25 polls. Coack K of the Blue Devils stated, " Its not that we played bad, its that the other team played better because they wanted it more." From what I have read and my little knowledge of basketball I think that the Blue Devils need to work on executing at the end of games better.
Every game Duke has lost, the opposing team has made a rough estimate of about 15-20 points in the last 5 minutes. In two day Duke travels to North Carolina to play the #3 ranked Tar Heels. Duke is in a bit of a drag at the moment but can hopefully get things figured out before the big rivalry game this week.
