SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- One of the primary reasons an anti-Duke sentiment has developed across the country is the seemingly assigned place of the Blue Devils among the nation's elite. Such is almost certain to be the case next year, as the Blue Devils will return four starters for 2004-05 and replace the star it will lose--Chris Duhon, to graduation--with the nation's top prep point guard, 6-foot-7 Shaun Livingston of Peoria, Ill.
