Duke has had some bad beats, but last night was the worst one since they were beat by 27 against Clemson in 2009. Coach Mike Krzyzewski forced his players to remain on the floor that night to soak in just how bad they had gotten beat, so they could take some lessons from a negative. The Blue Devils ended that season with a 23-point defeat to Villanova, the last time they shot as badly from the floor as they did last night. Hopefully, this team learned more last night than that 2009 team did and can get their footing under them before Saturday’s game against Maryland. As of now, Miami is without a doubt the best team in the ACC, and every one including Duke is looking up at them.

“Celebrate good times, come on!” – Kool and the Gang Historic losses usually do not have the Duke Blue Devils as the victim, but that is exactly what took place on Wednesday night in Coral Gables, when the Miami Hurricanes manhandled Duke by the tune of a 90-63 score. The loss was the third-worst ever for a team ranked #1 in the nation. This game was never really close, as...

According to a Nike release, Duke is one of twelve college basketball teams around the country to wear “Hyper Road Elite” jerseys this season. Last season, the Blue Devils were one of eight programs to wear the Nike “Platinum” jerseys and while many middle aged men complained about the look, the players themselves seemed to enjoy them.

It’s no secret that the Blue Devils haven’t been the same team since Ryan Kelly went out with an injured right foot during their game with Clemson on January 8th. Duke has lost two of its three games, including an embarrassing 27-point defeat to Miami on Wednesday night.

While the ACC season is young, and Duke has played less than a quarter of its games, the Blue Devils are going through a huge transformation right now so its appropriate to point out any impressive number the players on the team are putting up right now. Duke suffered its first loss to NC State during this stretch, so I didn’t expect the numbers to be this good, but four Blue Devils...

UPDATE: This was a poorly stated joke, evidently.
According to Dan Patrick on his radio show today, he reported from sources “who work [at Duke]” that the team’s charter plane arrived back in Durham after midnight. About an hour after arriving in Durham (at 1:15 according to Patrick) the Blue Devils began practice at 1:30 AM and didn’t stop until 4:45 AM. I’ll link audio...

No.1 Duke was handed the worst loss ever for the No.1 overall team team in the AP poll on Wednesday night against the University of Miami. Duke’s guards (Quinn Cook and Seth Curry) played atrocious, shooting a combined 1 for 29 from the floor. Miami went on a 25-1 run during the first half and never looked back. Is Michigan the next team to take a stab at No.1?These three consecutive...

The Duke Blue Devils took over the top spot in the latest college basketball polls this week. However, their stay at No. 1 isn't going to last long after No. 25 Miami completely dismantled Duke on Wednesday. The final score read, 90-63, but the game wasn't nearly as close as the score might indicate.
One man who was in attendance to see the upset victory was Hall of...

Duke is still reeling from their blowout loss below, and have a lot of questions to answer moving forward with just 13 games remaining in the regular season. They did not, however practice late into the night/early morning as was reported (joked about) yesterday.

ACC Capsules: Duke looks to rebound from loss
Maryland isnt as bad as its looked in some ACC games and Duke isnt as bad as it was in getting blown out by 27 points at Miami on Wednesday night. But the Terrapins may actually be trending up while Duke is swirling downward, trying to figure itself out without Ryan Kelly.

There were very few positives in Duke’s 90-63 loss to No. 25 Miami and even those you might as well throw out the window in what was a colossal failure on the Blue Devils part.
Duke’s 27 point loss to Miami was hard to watch.
The loss was the 6th largest defeat in Mike Krzyzewski’s Duke career and the worst since the Blue Devils lost to Villanova in the Sweet 16 back...
