The men's basketball team enters tonight's game against North Carolina State having lost its last four games in the final minutes. The Wolfpack (11-4, 1-3 in the Atlantic Coast Conference) may not be the team Duke (9-6, 0-4 in the ACC) wants to face in this situation, as N.C. State's sole win was the result of a second-half comeback against Florida State on Saturday. In that game, the Wolfpack turned a six-point halftime deficit into a six-point win.

Most teams will tell you that they don't pay any attention to streaks. Hopefully that's true for the men's basketball team, since it is breaking more streaks than it is making this year. After losing to Illinois last Saturday to end their 95-game non-conference, home winning streak, the Blue Devils fell to another Big Ten foe as they lost to Michigan 88-84, marking the first time in seven tries that Duke has lost to the Wolverines. That streak included the 1992 NCAA Championship game and five different games against some or all of the Fab Five.

One of the cardinal rules of coaching football is to avoid looking past one opponent to think about another. But one can hardly blame Duke football head coach Fred Goldsmith for doing so--it is all he has heard about since arriving on Duke's campus. Students, alumni, players and fans alike have all made it clear that a winning season would be nice, but beating North Carolina is what matters. Because of this attitude, Goldsmith has rewritten some of the rules about coaching and arranged his schedule properly.

Despite finishing in fourth place out of a field of 17 teams in the Duke Golf Classic held at Black and Decker Duke Golf Club, the men's golf team felt the result was only "OK" according to head coach Rod Myers. This was because going into the third and final round, Duke was sitting in second place and was within striking distance of eventual champion East Tennessee State University.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Riding a three-game losing streak to a 2-4 record, the 1995 Blue Devils (2-5, 0-4 in the Atlantic Coast Conference) went looking for some of the old Duke football magic in a place where it had never received any before--Charlottesville, Va. Despite having not won a game in Scott Stadium since 1981, when they squeaked by the Cavaliers 29-24, the Blue Devils came out like they owned the joint, amassing a 21-3 lead midway through the second quarter.

Two years ago, they were on the practice field instead of in the library. Today, they are sitting next to you in a history, English or science lecture. And two years from now, they may be in the NBA, NFL or some European league.
