Duke Blue Planet

I will be at Madison Square Garden tonight along with The Chronicle’s Dan Ahrens as the No. 7 Blue  Devils take on Arizona State University in the semifinals of the NIT Season Tip-Off. Be sure to keep an eye on our live blog and Twitter (@chroniclesports) throughout the game!
A few pregame notes:

Duke Blue Planet has posted its collection of the top five plays from Duke’s 78-67 win over Maryland Wednesday and (shock alert!) Gerald Henderson’s dunk over three Terrapins comes in at No. 1.
As you know, we post these videos sporadically–they’re done for every Duke win–and only when we have some more commentary to add. So: [...]

Through DukeBluePlanet.com, Duke’s basketball program has found a way to add a personal voice to a program that most see as personality-free. The athletic department and, in particular, Mike Krzyzewski’s team haven’t exactly circumvented the media in putting out its own stories—but that type of media control technique wouldn’t be so farfetched for such a [...]

GoDuke Prepares Duke-UNC Extravaganza

Duke only plays North Carolina in Cameron Indoor Stadium once a year, and for Wednesday’s matchup, GoDuke.com, the official site of Duke athletics, plans to take full advantage of the special occasion.
The website, which has expanded its arsenal of full-time writers and videographers in recent years, will feature new articles and videos on the hour, [...]

Paulus Highlights Top 5 Plays

by Ben Cohen on February 8, 2009

Our friends over at Duke Blue Planet do a great job compiling the top five plays of every Duke game (except, it should be noted, for Clemson), but we only post the video when we have something more to add. Sometimes, that means advocating for another play to be No. 1, or bemoaning one play’s [...]

Kicking It With The Blue Devils

by Ben Cohen on January 31, 2009

DukeBluePlanet.com
No. 1 Duke is a shoo-in for the NCAA Tournament, and it’s time for Duke’s players to start designing their sneakers for the Big Dance–which is why Nike consultants visited the Blue Devils before practice recently and helped them tailor their customized kicks for the Tournament.
The players split up into two groups and let natural [...]

Top 5 Plays From Virginia Tech Win

by Ben Cohen on January 5, 2009

Again, Duke Blue Planet’s compilation of the top five plays from Duke’s win over Virginia Tech Sunday. The only beef we have is we would move Jon Scheyer’s give-and-go layup from Kyle Singler to the No. 2 spot over Gerald Henderson’s circus shot. Sure, Henderson’s acrobatics look nice (even if it was oddly reminiscent of [...]

Top 5 Plays From Xavier Win

by Ben Cohen on December 21, 2008

Duke Blue Planet has posted its top 5 plays from Duke’s Saturday win over Xavier. One point of contention: Where is Jon Scheyer’s no-look pass to Dave McClure for a dunk to end the half? It was more than an excellent look from Scheyer–it had symbolic value, as it put an exclamation point (or two) [...]

Regardless of what Duke accomplishes on the court, one of the program’s biggest successes of the last year has been the development of Duke Blue Planet, a standalone website and magazine devoted solely to Duke Basketball. You can browse through issues of the magazine online, but the website, YouTube channel and photography gallery are even [...]
