Duke 86, Iowa State 65 (FINAL): Strong performance by the Blue Devils today against the Cyclones, which extends the team's win streak to seven.

According to SI.com's Ian Thomsen, at least one NBA head coach thinks the Nets should start and end their search in Cameron Indoor Stadium:
2:30: The game starts getting chippy, so Sean Renfree replaces Thad Lewis and promptly throws an interception on his first play. UNC is whistled for a block in the back on the return, and the two teams have offsetting fouls--all on the same play. The game's essentially over. Duke drops to 5-4, 3-2 in the ACC. More after the Blue Devils' press conference.
Duke may not be starting the year as the top-ranked team in the country, as it did in 2005-06, but it does have one thing in common with that team: a preseason All-American.
In the "I think he's joking, but I'm not completely sure" category, it appears former Blue Devil J.J. Redick is looking to release a rap album. When asked about his musical endeavor, Redick said, "We were trying to make it a little underground, viral marketing and all that stuff, but apparently its gonna get out there."
Duke fans won't have to wait much longer to find out if the Kyrie Irving rumors are true.
It's been a good week for Leeds United striker Mike Grella. After playing 82 minutes and earning Man of the Match honors in Monday's win over Darlington, the former Duke star signed a three-year contract with the club Wednesday.
According to Gil Brandt of NFL.com, eight NFL teams were on hand to scout some Duke seniors at their recently held Pro Day.

DUKE 35-28, 3:41 1st: Binghamton is keeping it interesting. Tiki Mayben drilled a 3-pointer with Lance Thomas' hand in his face to key a 9-2 run that has the Bearcats right back in it. Foul trouble may start to catch up with Binghamton, though, as Scheyer just drew the third on Reggie Fuller.
