Duke lets Spiders take a big bite again
Two years ago, the Blue Devils went into the season with legitimate bowl aspirations, only to drop their opener, at home, to Richmond. State, Virginia and Maryland in the ACC standings, but only four of those wins counted toward bowl eligibility. When it became clear they weren't going to get to six,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], they collapsed late and lost their final four.
This year, the Blue Devils went into the season with legitimate bowl aspirations only to drop their opener, at home, to Richmond - without a swine-flu epidemic tearing through the team the way it was in 2009. The way the rest of the schedule shakes out, it's hard to see Duke finding five more wins, let alone the six the Blue Devils need to end a 16-year bowl drought.
If anything, the manner of defeat was more painful this time around,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with all-everything candidate Nick Snyderwine missing a 28-yard chip shot that would have given Duke the lead with 90 seconds to go. Either way, it's just another installment of Duke's recurring Nightmare on Highway 751,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with the otherwise mild-mannered Richmond Spiders playing the role of Freddy Krueger.
It's one thing to get blown out by an Alabama team coming off a national title and still loaded with talent. It's another to lose to an Football Championship Subdivision team 11 days after its coach resigned because of a drunk-driving arrest. It's another to lose to the same team three straight times: 2006, 2009, 2011.
The Blue Devils aren't going to become competitive in the ACC until they become competitive in the Colonial Athletic Association. While Duke was losing to Richmond, a few miles down Highway 15-501,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], North Carolina was puttin' a whuppin' on another CAA team,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], James Madison.
If Southern Cal transfer Aaron Corp can beat the Blue Devils, what is Stanford's Andrew Luck - not only a legit Pac-12 quarterback, but a Heisman Trophy contender - going to do to them this Saturday?
There might have been six wins on Duke's schedule, but by any accounting,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Richmond had to be one. Realistically, the Blue Devils could beat Tulane and Wake Forest at home and win at Florida International and Virginia. Beyond that, they're going to have to win at Miami or Boston College and upset someone at home, probably a ranked team. That's a lot of ifs for a team that can't beat an FCS team.
Virginia Tech lost to James Madison last season and won the ACC championship anyway,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the Hokies were playing five days after a hard-fought, season-opening loss to Boise State. These circumstances are different. To the limited extent that Virginia Tech had an excuse for its loss, Duke has none.
In his fourth season,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], David Cutcliffe has made admirable progress at Duke. Losses like Saturday's only underline how much work there was to do - and how much is still left to be done.
First Richmond. Then the ACC. Baby steps.
Duke . Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke.

Duke dominates Florida State for 79-60 road win
Road wins have been particularly hard to come by this year in the ACC,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the Blue Devils looked plenty comfortable at Florida State. Duke made shots at its best rate all year in a 79-60 basketball victory over the Seminoles. The 19-point win is the biggest road victory in the ACC this year.
Duke basketball: No Kelly means more Plumlee, more Curry

ACC Legend honors go to UNC's O'Koren, Duke's Langdon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], NC State's Whittenburg
Mike O had spent years as an NBA broadcaster and coach but memories of his college years flooded back when Roy Williams,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the North Carolina coach,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], called him recently.
Wake Forest's game plan was to take away Duke's looks from 3-point range. And that worked, for the most part, but Mason Plumlee set a new career-high in points as Duke pulled out a late 75-70 win.
Less Kelly means more set plays for Duke offense
Ryan Kelly's absence has changed not only how many points Duke scores,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but also how the Blue Devils score. "Now we have to have more attention to detail on setting your man up, setting screens, working together to get shots," said coach Mike Krzyzewski.
Duke, UNC ranked high in lacrosse
The Duke men's lacrosse team will begin the 2013 season ranked No. 4 and No. 6 in the Nike/Inside Lacrosse media and USILA coaches polls, respectively. The Blue Devils finished last season ranked fourth. North Carolina's men's lacrosse team, which begins its season on Feb. 8 against Air Force,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], debuted at fourth and seventh, respectively,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in the USILA coaches and Inside Lacrosse media polls.
