Taylor Doherty just put up a blog post detailing the prop bets up for tonight’s game, along with his picks for them. So I thought I’d add my two cents. Here’s a list of over/under prop bets not found on any gambling sites, though they should be. (I went ahead and gave my prediction for [...]
Senior forward Lance Thomas’s right knee injury appears to be only a severe bone bruise, the Duke men’s basketball program said in a statement minutes ago.
Thomas left last night’s game against North Carolina early in the second half after banging knees with Tar Heel guard Larry Drew II, and while Drew looked to be in [...]
Georgetown 84, Duke 68, 2:10 left: Probably the most telling stat from this game is the field goal percentage disparity. Georgetown is still shooting over 70 percent from the floor, which is absurd, while Duke is stuck at a dismal 35 percent. Singler just fouled out, and the Hoyas just converted another and-one.
We’re done for [...]

Junior Nolan Smith and senior forward Lance Thomas [...]
Duke 113, Penn 55 (0:27.8): Duke is ahead 58 points with three walk-ons and two freshmen playing. As the Crazies chant “Our House” and “More than double,” Penn looks ready to head home and stop the bleeding–somewhat literally, their #24 Jack Eggleston was sent off the court a few minutes ago due to cut on [...]

In this week’s issue of GoDuke Weekly, a number of Blue Devil athletes personally wish everyone a great holiday season and take some time to talk about their favorite holiday traditions.
Women’s basketball player Joy Cheek shares her favorite Christmas song, and Ryan McDaniel—who is a member of the men’s soccer team—even tries a little singing [...]
After a convincing 76-41 win over Gonzaga Saturday at Madison Square Garden, head coach Mike Krzyzewski told the media that he thinks senior Brian Zoubek has been underrated as a player so far this year:
“The kid who really hasn’t gotten much attention for us, is [Brian] Zoubek,” Krzyzewski said. “Brian has had a hell of [...]
