- If only there were some love for Mike Krzyzewski's team this week. Duke kept it close with North Carolina for 30 minutes, but Ty Lawson and the Tar Heels pulled away late to give Tyler Hansbrough and Danny Green their fourth straight win in Cameron Indoor Stadium.
- Some other notes from the loss: It was really hot in Cameron; Duke couldn't keep up with North Carolina's fast-paced game; even President Obama was interested in the rivalry; Gerald Henderson and Greg Paulus may not be single men much longer.
- The national media descended on Durham for places on press row. So what did they write about the game?
- Britton: Duke-UNC is more than just one game. Shiner: Win one for the seniors.
- Are you, as they say in elementary school, a visual learner? You won't go wrong with any of these slideshows or videos.
- Joanne P. McCallie's squad didn't have much more luck in Chapel Hill, as the Blue Devils also collapsed in the second half. Jessica Breland grabbed 23 rebounds for the Tar Heels, and McCallie still hasn't beaten North Carolina.
- Craig Kocher, associate dean of the Chapel, was certainly watching Monday's game in Chapel Hill. But who the former voice of the UNC women rooting for?
- One reason for Duke fans to be hopeful: David Cutcliffe announced his 2009 schedule, and for once, Duke students might be able to attend the game against North Carolina in Chapel Hill.
That's all, folks. Check back over the weekend to see how both basketball teams respond from losses, and to paraphase Krzyzewski, hope you have an A+ Valentine's Day.
