The Duke Blue Devils Can't Guard Anyone
Published 3/21/2008 by JC at (Obsolete Feed)
Let's just be honest here. Finding an athletic player on the Duke men's basketball team is like trying to find a Pell Grant recipient at Duke University. Anomaly is quite the overstatement. So it should be no surprise that the Duke Blue Devils find themselves in quite the precarious position this morning, because they beat Belmont on the scoreboard last night in Washington D.C., but lost so much more.

I said almost, Duke's Gerald Henderson made the game winning driving layup with 11.9 seconds left on the clock.  The Belmont Bruins played more like the Bruins from UCLA as Duke couldn't stop the points from coming. So does this mean that Duke is done for the ...
