So there's this girl, right (just run with me for a minute here). And she's got a big book in front of her. Let's say it's a black book, sitting on a coffee table, and let's say she's at an apartment in, say, New York.
RALEIGH - Up 6-2 in a first set tiebreak, men's tennis star Michael Yani tossed the ball into the air and unwound for a trademark serve that sent his Clemson opponent Sander Koning reeling.

Men's basketball star J.J. Redick was among a group of students caught in a Blackwell Dormitory room after a nearby resident adviser called the police to report that she smelled marijuana on the second floor, according to a police report filed at 12:08 a.m. Monday morning. Redick, a freshman, and four other individuals were mentioned, but no criminal charges were filed. Instead, the police referred the individuals to the Office of the Dean of Students. University administrators cannot comment on individual judicial code violations, but Dean of Students Sue Wasiolek said such situations are handled on a case-by-case basis. She said penalties typically depend on factors such as the number of previous violations and whether the students are caught using the drugs or just in possession of them. Penalties can include, among other things, community service, probation or a review of the students' housing licenses, she said. "It will be handled just as any alleged violation of the judicial code," said Wasiolek, who would not confirm Redick's involvement. Jon Jackson, a spokesperson for the Athletics Department, said it would be inappropriate to comment on the matter until the undergraduate judicial process has been completed. Redick could not be reached for comment. Also caught with Redick were freshman men's soccer players Ian Carey and Ryan Kerlew. Neither could be reached for comment. The report said that after the resident adviser's phone call, the police arrived to a "very strong smell of marijuana" in the halls, and "after checking several of the rooms negative for the smell," they opened the door to the room where Redick and the others were, and "the smell was even stronger emitting from the room." The police said they lined up the five students, who had "red, glossy eyes and a strong smell of marijuana about their person," but after searching, found no contraband on them. The officers reported that they then searched the room and found no marijuana, but instead discovered a homemade bong "with pieces of green leafs in the water and a strong smell of marijuana emitting from the top." Carey eventually claimed possession of the bong, and after giving him a warning, the police, instead of making arrests, handed the names of the offenders over to the judicial affairs board. Maj. Robert Dean, a spokesperson for Duke police, said decisions on whether to charge students or refer them to the undergraduate judicial process are left to the discretion of the officers present. He would not comment on the specific case in question.
ANAHEIM, Calif. - Blue Devils head coach Mike Krzyzewski said after Thursday's Sweet Sixteen loss to Kansas he thought you could judge the success of a team by whether there was crying in the locker room at the end of the season - either crying because the players had won the national title or crying because they lost, leaving it all on the floor.

GREENSBORO - When lecturing on leadership, men's basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski likes to use a fist analogy. He compares a team to a fist, explaining that it takes five fingers--like the five members of a team--to get a fist working.
GREENSBORO -- After Duke had cut N.C. State's lead to six, the Blue Devils were looking for a second wind. Their mini 6-0 spurt, as effective as it may have been, was not going to be enough to win the game, and neither was their current situation, trading baskets with the Wolfpack.

With a little over 30 seconds left in the men's basketball team's game Thursday night, senior point guard Andre Buckner - all 5-foot-10, 170 pounds of him - came barrelling down the lane, hopped a defender and tossed up a layup that bounced around on the rim for a few seconds before finding the hole.
A little over two weeks ago the men's basketball team was reeling, unable to win on the road, despite all its efforts, most recently a double overtime loss to Wake Forest.
