Feeling lonely, a little like the win column in the men's basketball team's record that's still waiting for a number other than zero? Feeling like you're the only college basketball fan in the country forced to go from rooting for a 37-2 squad to an 0-2 one?
NEW YORK - Jason Williams' eyes still looked like he belonged at a funeral instead of a basketball game, but his words couldn't have sounded any more different.
NEW YORK - The words poured down from the rafters of Madison Square Garden, the product of gloating Connecticut fans who saw their team down Duke for the second time in eight months.
NEW YORK - The men's basketball team knew it could expect more close games this year, and games can't get any closer than last night's season opener.
NEW YORK - Chris Carrawell remembers how opponents' faces looked last year, when teams arrived at Cameron Indoor Stadium well aware that they didn't stand a chance against the juggernaut that was Duke basketball.
Jason Williams had used the move many a time on unfortunate high school opponents, leaving them flatfooted and resigned to watch Williams drain a jumper or bank in a layup, another victim of the McDonald's national player of the year.
CHAPEL HILL - In eight NBA preseason games, Elton Brand has already taken on power forwards Antonio McDyess, Dale Davis, Kevin Garnett and Anthony Mason, and Chris Webber would have been added to that list if he were healthy.
Brian Kelly would later say it felt like the ball hung in the air "for an eternity." The forward had chipped a pass into the scrum in front of the Virginia net, and with the final horn about to sound and the top-ranked Cavaliers leading by one, every player leapt for the ball with an extra measure of desperation.
It's been a long time since the men's soccer team finished the regular season undefeated.
Chalk it up as a productive night for the men's soccer team.
So much for the Curse of Maryland.
Mark McGwire stepped to the plate and Busch Stadium lit up with flashbulbs. This wasn't September 8, 1998, when the slugger came up with a chance at No. 62. It wasn't even a game late last season as he pulled within sight of Ruth and Maris then left them far behind.
The Clemson men's soccer team has lost its leading scorer and three other starters from last year's team and three of its first five games. But Duke coach John Rennie would rather his squad focus on what the Tigers still have when the Blue Devils travel to South Carolina for their ACC opener tomorrow night.
When Ali Curtis came off the field during the first overtime Friday night, he knocked a few cups of water off a table near the Duke bench after failing to convert on several excellent chances to score in what would be a 2-2 tie with No. 15 Rutgers (1-0-2).
The ACC has long been the top conference for men's soccer, but the Big East isn't doing too badly these days, with five schools in the NSCAA top 25. Two of those teams will visit Durham this weekend to take on the Blue Devils and fellow ACC member N.C. State in the Duke adidas Classic at Koskinen Field.
The ball ricocheted off the left post and into the net, and Ali Curtis ricocheted toward the Duke bench and slid on the grass in one of his signature celebrations. The sophomore had given himself plenty of opportunities to develop his celebratory style during his short career-this particular score, which put the Blue Devils ahead of Virginia late in a key ACC contest last October, was his 17th in less than two seasons.
For four years, nearly every time the Blue Devils took the field, they were there: Jay Heaps in the center of the midfield and Evan Whitfield in the center of the defense. They started each of the 178 games in which they played and earned All-ACC honors all four seasons. They helped lead the men's soccer team to the national championship game as freshmen, then helped lead it back into the NCAA tournament after a two-year absence as seniors.
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. - No one had scored more than 10 goals on the men's lacrosse team all year.
As the only ACC school in the top 25, the men's tennis team came into this weekend's conference championships as the overwhelming favorite. Third-ranked Duke came away from Atlanta with an overwhelming victory, dropping only one point in three matches in capturing its second straight ACC title.
