Every year the Duke North Carolina rivalry takes on a whole new meaning, this year, like so many years, had the ACC regular season title hanging in the balance.
My question is, did head coach Mike Krzyzewski lose earlier road games on purpose so that the game between the tobacco road rivals would have more drama?
Think about it, there were so many celebrities...

The recent run-down of Mississippi State basketball.
Original Story:

I don't like Hansbrough as much as a Michael Beasley, but I can see what he represents: consistency. He'll go in and get his 20 and 10 every single night. There's a lot to be said about that - Tim Duncan, a black man, has made a career out of doing just that, and he is considered by most pundits to be the best power forward ever, despite not having the extreme athleticism of someone like Garnett, Shaq or Malone. I think the fact that Hansbrough is a steady rock makes him revered.
That said, I agree that he is overhyped by the media. But he also plays for arguably the most high-profile program in all of college basketball. Exposure is natural.
