Duke needed a big statement win against Maryland on Saturday to get their season back on track. They did that, and then some, with their 20-point victory at home. More importantly, the Blue Devils found a third offensive weapon to help fill the void left when Ryan Kelly went out with an injury three weeks ago. Rasheed Sulaimon was slumping until Coach Mike Krzyzewski decided to...

Two freshmen seem to be figuring things out at the right time for No. 5 Duke.
Guard Rasheed Sulaimon has rediscovered his shooting touch after a brief slump. And now that he's a starter, forward Amile Jefferson is doing all the little things that have been asked of him.
With the rookie tandem contributing more, the new-look Blue Devils (17-2, 4-2 ACC) hope they can keep moving...

Mike Krzyzewski didnt really implement major changes in his basketball teams approach until after it played several games without injured senior forward Ryan Kelly.
The coach wanted to see what his team looked like with Josh Hairston and then Amile Jefferson starting in Kellys spot in the lineup and exactly what his teams new weaknesses and strengths were. Like any good manager...

How are you going to T Miles up here? Let the kid celebrate a ridiculous play for crying out loud. I looked around and there were some pretty sweet plays this weekend, but I have to give it to Miles. He gives the white man some hope. For those of you that care, Duke wiped out Maryland in this game 84-64.
Coach K says a lot has changed for his team since Ryan Kelly went down, but the Blue Devils are adapting better and better.

The regular season is starting down the home stretch, and Duke has now played their first conference opponent twice. The Blue Devils swept the season series with the Demon Deacons, but it wasn’t easy. Down by 1 late in the game, guards Seth Curry and Rasheed Sulaimon pushed Duke over the top after Mason Plumlee had virtually carried them the whole game. The senior forward scored...

As we march our way deeper into the 2013 college basketball season, there isn’t a team that remains more interesting to casual fans than the Duke Blue Devils. Some people love them, some people hate them, but as is the case most years, no team is more interesting than Coach K’s bunch.

By Josh Evans - How would Duke respond after their beat down put to them by Miami this past Wednesday night? That was the question of the day, and boy did Duke respond! Duke responded in stellar fashion. Duke was able to beat the Maryland Terrapins who boasted a much taller front line than Duke 84-64. Right from the opening tip, Duke’s energy was high, and their intensity was...

It’s hard to believe that Duke will be playing Wake Forest for the second time already this season, when they still haven’t met some of their conference opponents once. Such is life with the unbalanced schedule. The Blue Devils will be looking to get their first road ACC win (and first road win at all) tonight in Winston-Salem. The somewhat surprising Demon Deacons have yet to...

The game was as sloppy as the weather was outside, but in the end Duke came out with their first win on the road in conference after going 8-0 last season. While that figure may be overrated, this team needed to prove to themselves and the rest of the college basketball world that they could go into a hostile atmosphere and come away with a victory. After Rasheed Sulaimon made a...

Duke got back to their winning ways with the 20-point victory over Maryland on Saturday afternoon. It was clear the players and coaches took the loss personally, with Amile Jefferson commenting postgame about the bonding experience including even former players.
These past couple of days I’ve really learned what it means to be a Duke player. (So many of) the former players sent...
