When I was at a medical school interview last fall, my first interviewer asked me why I like sports.
Dear Kyle Singler,
Duke is back. Back in the Final Four, back as a national power—and back as a villain in the season’s final weekend.
If head coach Tom Izzo’s reign at Michigan State has been characterized by one maxim, it is this: Never count out the Spartans in March.
I’m not quite sure when I started thinking Duke deserved consideration for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. It wasn’t when Villanova started its late-season slide in early February, and it wasn’t when Purdue star Robbie Hummel tore his ACL later that month. I knew Hummel’s injury would give the Blue Devils a chance to grab a top seed, but at that point, Duke just didn’t feel like a No. 1.
Since the NCAA Tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985, No. 1 seeds are a perfect 102-0 in the first round.
After Duke beat Georgia Tech for the ACC Tournament title Sunday afternoon, head coach Mike Krzyzewski said his team was better than it was the week before.
I love white tenting.

Duke has played 45 football games since I’ve been a student here. I had never been as excited about one as I was last Saturday.
CHAPEL HILL — For more than a month, Duke has had a virtually nonexistent running game, but it hadn’t mattered until Saturday.
Three years ago, Jon Scheyer and Lance Thomas were freshmen on a young, undersized Duke team that suffered a first-round NCAA Tournament loss to Virginia Commonwealth.
I’ve never liked Senior Night.
I will not make many guarantees about the 2009-10 basketball season, but one thing is clear: It’s going to get off to a more exciting start than any season in recent memory.
