I was in the Charlotte Coliseum for the first two rounds of the NCAA men's basketball tournament this year. I was privileged to meet John Feinstein, a noted sports novelist and writer for the Washington Post. He is also a Duke graduate.

What did the guy from CNN/SI call us? Oh, yes, "everyone's presumptive champ." But before we can even think about cutting down the nets in St. Petersburg, there is a vital step that this Duke team needs to climb.

Madison Square Garden should be just about ready to explode Sunday afternoon when the second-ranked men's basketball team (18-1) heads into "the world's most famous arena" to take on No. 8 St. John's (15-3).

Jay Heaps was held scoreless in the men's soccer team's shocking, season-ending defeat to Jacksonville in the NCAA Tournament two weeks ago. He scored big time, however, yesterday when he was named the Missouri Athletic Club's Sports Foundation Collegiate Men's Soccer Player of the Year.

Antoine Walker was hired as the spokesperson and graphic model for EA Sports' most recent adaptation of its well loved, and highly respected NBA Live line. Although he won't be able to show his stuff on the court anytime soon-due to the never-ending story that is the NBA labor dispute-he can certainly show off with his Playstation, using the game that he helped create.

CHARLOTTE - When fans view the final score of last night's 94-61 Duke victory over the Davidson Wildcats at Charlotte Coliseum, they will probably be reminded of the Blue Devils' opening victory over Fairfield, 98-66. The results were similar, but it was a tale of two different games.

Over the past three seasons, Fred Goldsmith has taken many bus rides back to Durham after demoralizing defeats. It's safe to say that he's probably been stuck in traffic once or twice during that stretch. The trip home after the Blue Devils' 27-24 defeat at the hands of N.C. State Saturday, however, was different in more ways than one.

The first similarity that springs to mind between the football team and its opponent this weekend-Wake Forest-is inconsistency.

In any ordinary year, a less-confident, smaller, less-talented Duke football team would travel to Florida State with its heads down, just looking to get out of Tallahassee alive. The Seminoles would be looking past the Blue Devils to Florida, UNC or some other, more-prominent ACC team in the way of their quest for a national championship.

Saturday night, the Catamounts invade Wallace Wade Stadium to take on the Blue Devils in the football season opener for both teams. The first obvious question is, who are the Catamounts?

HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. - If revenge is a dish best served cold, then the men's lacrosse team must be absolutely steaming.

Antawn Jamison should be lumped in with Jeff McInnis, Rasheed Wallace, Jerry Stackhouse and J.R. Reid in the category of UNC basketball players who, due to an extreme desire for money, and an unwillingness to learn how to read, left early for the NBA, right?

CHAPEL HILL - The statement was quick, the resolve was firm and the pain was like a sharp dagger in the side of Tar Heel fans everywhere.

The men's basketball team will be trying to erase the memories of Atlantic Coast Conference Tournaments of old when they meet the ninth-seeded Virginia Cavaliers on Thursday in Greensboro, N.C. Duke has not won an ACC Tournament game in three years and is 2-5 since 1992.

The wrestling team dropped its fifth straight match, and third in the Atlantic Coast Conference, on Saturday, losing to the Maryland Terrapins in College Park, 26-13. The Terrapins (5-5, 1-3 ACC) led right from the start, and the Blue Devils (5-5, 0-3 ACC) never got closer than three points.

The wrestling team jumped into its Atlantic Coast Conference season Friday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium, where it suffered a 33-3 defeat at the hands of the Virginia Cavaliers. Entering the meet undefeated in non-conference competition, the Blue Devils were handed their first loss of the season, dropping them to 5-1 overall, and 0-1 in the ACC.

The chants of "Wojo" will be raining down from the rafters in University Hall in Charlottesville this Saturday. The Wahoo faithful will have vivid memories of last year's dramatic and controversial 61-60 loss to the Blue Devils. At the end of that game, the officials were criticized for not letting a Virginia sub into the game with 4.3 seconds remaining in the game and not starting the clock until then-junior guard Steve Wojciechowski neared midcourt on his drive to the hoop. Wojciechowski was fouled with two seconds left, and proceeded to hit the two clutch free throws that gave Duke the victory.
