Welcome to Devil's Advocate, my weekly Duke Basketball column. Each week, I'll take on a common argument or criticism against Duke used by analysts and/or Duke haters. My opinion might not be correct, but I'm just playing Devil's Advocate...
Granted, it's only November. It's much too early to start making postseason projections, crowning conference champions, or filling out brackets...
Welcome to Devil's Advocate, my new weekly column. Each week, I'll take on a common argument or criticism against Duke used by analysts and/or Duke haters. My opinion might not be correct, but I'm just playing Devil's Advocate...
It's official—Harrison Barnes is a Tar Heel. It will take a few days (okay, months) for the meltdown of the Duke fan base to clear, but when the dust settles, questions will remain...
Atlanta, GA— Thanks to a partnership with the NBA, HP, and Microsoft, Dominique Wilkins was at a local Atlanta Best Buy on Saturday to meet with fans and help promote the launch of Windows 7...
As fans, there may only be a few things we enjoy more than sitting in the stands and watching NBA greats do their thing. One of those things would certainly be meeting those greats face to face...
Remember, remember the twelfth of November—if you're a Duke fan. That appears to be the day Harrison Barnes, the nation's top-ranked recruit, will announce which school will benefit from his numerous talents...
This is the final preview breaking down the Duke basketball season. This series represents a collaboration between members of the Bleacher Report Duke Basketball Page and looks at the Blue Devils' frontcourt, backcourt, and bench...
If I had to guess what Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski is doing right now, I'd say he's smiling. He should be since Kyrie Irving, the nation's second-rated point guard, just committed to the Blue Devils on ESPNU...
To say that the nature of college basketball recruiting has become more complex over the last few decades would be an understatement in the same realm of calling Chris Paul "quick" or Shaquille O'neal "tall...
Duke’s 2010 recruiting class has the potential to be the best class the Blue Devils have secured in nearly a decade...
The Blue Devils' point guard issues have been well documented over the last few seasons, so there's no need to go on-and-on about the carousel ride that was Duke's starting point guard role last season...
I'll be the first to admit that thinking about the Duke Blue Devils as an overlooked team sounds ridiculous. As is the case most seasons, the Blue Devils will likely go into the season as a top 10 team...
The struggles of Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski's recruiting efforts in recent years have been well documented. While he's successfully recruited McDonald's All-American after McDonald's All-American, ...
To put it mildly, Mike Krzyzewski is trying to make a bold statement with his 2010 recruiting class. The last few seasons of Duke basketball, though respectable in terms of wins, have failed ...
Last season's Tar Heel team was certainly one of the most talented teams college basketball has seen in a long time. That talent led North Carolina to consecutive Final Four appearances and ...
The ACC has earned a reputation for being a top-heavy basketball conference in recent years. Over the last 13 seasons, only one team (Maryland) other than the Blue Devils or Tar Heels has won an ACC title...
Not many people in Mike Krzyzewski's position are interested in a second job. But that's exactly what Coach K has with USA basketball, albeit a part-time gig...
It's no secret that the Duke basketball program hasn't been what it used to be in recent years. Of course, few programs have ever achieved the status of what Duke "used to be...
The Duke Blue Devils finished last season with 30 wins, an ACC tournament title, and a trip to the Sweet 16. That's a successful season by any stretch of the imagination...
Referring to incoming Duke freshman Ryan Kelly as a "what if" would have been appropriate a few weeks ago. Gerald Henderson had yet to hire an agent and seal his status as an NBA rookie next ...
Since the departure of Josh McRoberts, the Blue Devils have had to do without an inside offensive presence. McRoberts averaged 13 points per game in his final season with Duke...
Gerald Henderson's decision to forgo his senior year at Duke and declare for the NBA draft isn't exactly earth-shattering news. Sure, there are things he needs to work on (ball-handling, perimeter shot, etc...
This Duke offseason is shaping up to be one of the most interesting, and important, Blue Devil offseasons in years. It's one that has already seen a surprise transfer to Duke compliments of Seth ...
It hasn't even been two weeks since Duke's offseason officially began, and speculation about the future of Blue Devil basketball is already in full swing. A lot has already happened since the loss to Villanova in the Sweet 16...
