Scheyer [...]
For Jon Scheyer, the 2009-2010 season was highlighted by his breakthrough performance. He averaged career highs in points (18.9), assists (5.2), free throw percentage (0.889) and three-point field goal percentage (0.399). He was instrumental in anchoring the nation’s best trio players in himself, Nolan Smith and Kyle Singler. Throughout the season, he led the nation [...]
Duke’s smashing of North Carolina on Saturday night marked the end of the regular season and the beginning of Championship Week. The ACC Tournament begins on Thursday with four first round matchups and the Blue Devils begin play on Friday when they face the winner of the Boston College-Virginia game.
Here’s how Duke’s first game (12 [...]
FINAL SCORE: Duke 67, Virginia, 49
1:09 2nd Half; Duke 64 , Virginia 45: With 2:52 to go, Meyinsse is taken out of the game along with any chance of Virginia going on any sort of run. If anything has stuck out this game, it would be the Cavalier’s inability to get any sort of momentum [...]
Duke 81, Miami 74, Final: Miami couldn’t weather the storm that Duke brought out of the locker room after half time, and the Blue Devils will pick up a hard-fought road win tonight behind 22 points from Kyle Singler and 21 from Nolan Smith. Both players really picked up their games in the second half, [...]

Washington, D.C. — The Washington Wizards weren’t playing until Saturday night, and with Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton already suspended by the NBA, there’s a good chance there weren’t any guns at the Verizon Center this weekend. But Saturday afternoon, Georgetown shot the lights out against No. 8 Duke.
In one of the best offensive performances [...]
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 [...]
Duke 70, Florida State 56, Final: Duke moves to 5-2 in the ACC with tonight’s victory, showing great resilience as the Blue Devils fought off a 12-0 run from the Seminoles midway through the second half. Scheyer arguably had the best performance of the night, posting 22 points, but Singler stayed right with him, putting [...]
