Duke suffers season's worst defeat to 'Hoos
By Brody Greenwald | February 21, 2000Three days of success were quickly forgotten in one humiliating hour yesterday.
Three days of success were quickly forgotten in one humiliating hour yesterday.
Last season, the women's basketball team fell just once in conference play en route to a 15-1 record. That loss? An 80-75 decision at the hands of the Clemson Tigers in Littlejohn Coliseum.
For No. 5 Duke, Saturday's match against unranked Ohio State should have been an easy win. The Blue Devils never thought the contest would come down to the final match. With the competition tied...
The baseball team probably needed a morale boost after getting victimized by a East Carolina no-hitter.
For the Blue Devil seniors on the fencing team, this weekend's Duke Invitational tournament held in Card Gym was an excellent way to finish their regular-season collegiate careers.
ATLANTA - With all due respect to Chicken Little (and some wishful thinkers around the ACC), the sky is not falling on Durham.
ATLANTA - Coach Mike Krzyzewski's words said one thing-the Maryland loss didn't mean that much and the game was any other game.
The men's tennis team is playing better than it ever has this early in the year, and the quick start has all the Blue Devils thanking the same thing.
Oh, what a difference one week can make.
The number 13 is usually associated with good or bad luck, depending on which team you play for.
Less than 40 hours after a four-point overtime victory over archrival North Carolina, Mike Krzyzewski was worried about mental fatigue and a letdown against Virginia.
There is a phenomenon that exists in sports called a letdown game, where a team coming off an emotional, hard-fought win enters its next game flat and loses to a team it would normally defeat.
As rising sophomores playing on the ITA summer circuit, Kathy Sell and Megan Miller once rallied from a 6-0, 5-0 deficit to win a doubles event late in the circuit calendar.
The men's baseball team opened up its 2000 campaign to mixed results on Sunday when it split a double-header against the Georgetown Hoyas (1-1) at East Carolina's Harrington Field.
In case you missed it, Saturday's men's tennis season opener was a historic event in the course of Duke sports.
Friday night, the men's and women's track teams participated in a little bit of history. The Blue Devils traveled to New York City for the Millrose Games, the world's oldest indoor track meet.
Maybe it was when Clemson's Adam Allenspach, having scored four of his team's eight points on the board, suddenly fell to the court with more than 11 minutes left in the first half with a hip pointer.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - Although the tipoff to Duke's 61-49 loss to Virginia was yesterday afternoon, the Blue Devils may have lost the game Thursday night.
The last time the Blue Devils lost to an unranked opponent at home, the Duke campus also saw blizzard-like conditions. Four years ago, on Jan.
