One full weekend student ticket to the 2010 NCAA Tournament Final Four: $25.
RALEIGH, N.C.—For the first time in the post-Kyrie era, it was all about the post players.
Well, that’s a relief.
What a difference a year makes.
On a night dominated by the play of a freshman, it was yet another underclassman that quietly had a defining performance in his young Duke career: Mason Plumlee.
I remember my first Duke basketball game.
When Sean Renfree broke the huddle on fourth down, pinned back on Duke’s own 21-yard line with just two minutes left, he knew it was his team’s last shot.
Get ready for a rebuilding year at Georgia Tech.
Basketball season has returned.
There’s no such thing as a moral victory.
It was, in the words of one member of the press, “the ineptitude bowl.”
Recently, Duke’s campus has begun to focus its unwavering eye on the upcoming basketball season. And while both the men’s and women’s programs have important questions to address, one thing is for certain: Get used to women’s head coach Joanne P. McCallie pacing the hardwood.

It’s been long established that the South—from Texas to the east—is home to the best football in the country, from Pop Warner all the way through college. The pedigree of the Southeastern Conference speaks for itself: SEC teams have won the last four BCS National titles and produced two of the last three Heisman Trophy winners. The ACC, not to be completely outdone, has storied programs such as Virginia Tech and Miami, which both made appearances in BCS title games in the last decade.
There’s no doubt about it: the 2010-11 Blue Devils will be one of Mike Krzyzewski’s most prolific scoring teams ever. Kyle Singler and Nolan Smith are back for another year, Seth Curry and Kyrie Irving are here to replace Jon Scheyer, and Andre Dawkins and Mason Plumlee have their up-and-down freshman years behind them.
It took all 54 holes, but Duke hit its stride just in time to make the NCAA Championship.
From the outset of this season, the Blue Devils have had only one thought on their minds: earning a berth in the NCAA Tournament.
It was déjà vu all over again.
Will Currier is used to expanding his comfort zone.
Duke broke out the bats over the weekend, posting 22 runs over three games to earn a key series victory over No. 11 Clemson (23-10, 10-5 in the ACC). Will Currier continued to lead the Blue Devils (19-13, 5-10) at the plate, adding his second, third and fourth home runs of the week while driving in nine runs for Duke’s first series victory since beating then-No. 11 North Carolina over a month ago.
