The Brotherhood runs strong through Duke men’s basketball, and nowhere is that more clear than in its coaching staff. Every man behind the Blue Devil bench was also once a Blue Devil himself. Now, as Duke approaches its first matchup against archrival North Carolina, let’s take a look at each of their extensive histories with Duke's foes down Tobacco Road.
LOUISVILLE, KY.—In a program with as storied a history and filled with as much NBA-caliber talent as Duke, it’s easy to glance past the guys who didn’t sprint out of the gate. The guys who didn’t start the season with 20-point games, who don’t protect the rim with stadium-rocking blocks or shoot from downtown with lethal accuracy. But the guy who has glided under the radar has also quietly developed into the player that makes the Duke clock tick.
LOUISVILLE, KY.—Duke touched down in Louisville Friday for its noon tipoff Saturday against the Cardinals.

Here’s our five observations from the first 20 minutes.

His baring of his heart did not go as planned, however, and the second-to-last episode ended with a fight about honesty between the two and Grippo ultimately leaving the show.
Standing at 15-3, yet with two losses in its last five games, Duke needs an evaluation.

Duke made the short bus ride to Winston-Salem, N.C., for a 7 p.m. showdown against Wake Forest. The Blue Devils got out to an eight-point lead at one point, but the Demon Deacons came roaring back to whittle Duke’s lead down to 35-29 at the half. Here’s five of our observations from the opening 20 minutes.

The last time the Blue Devils played South Carolina State—a November 1998 120-56 home win—Bill Clinton was still president and Google was still running out of a garage. It’s safe to say a lot has changed in the world since then.

No. 1 Duke men's basketball takes on Ohio State on the road in the Big Ten-ACC Challenge Tuesday night, so the Blue Zone is back with our can't-miss prop bets for the matchup:
