Check out this video clip of Danny Green dunking all over Greg Paulus last night in a 76-68 Tarheel win at Cameron Indoor.

Dick Vitale returned last night to his role as the top broadcaster of college basketball after missing the last two months due to vocal cord surgery. Vitale returned to broadcast North Carolina versus Duke which is the biggest rivlary in all of college basketball and some will say the biggest rivalry in all of sports. If you have ever watched Vitale announce a Duke you know he has a love for Coach K and Duke that simply can’t be hidden. If the truth be known I think Vitale has the biggest man crush on ole Mike that I have ever witnessed. Vitale probably couldn’t be happier today because Duke prevailed at Carolina in a commanding 89-78 win. This give Duke a commanding lead in the ACC and also an edge on a possible #1 seed in the NCAA tournament.

I hope you thoroughly appreciate this Greg Paulus flop video clip. This is a classic Blue Devil maneuver and I can’t be happier that the VCU Rams took them out last night.

Could this be a year like the infamous 1983 National Champinoship Jim Valvano led squad? If that is a strech then are they more like the 1997 “Iron Five” squad who made it all the way to the ACC Champinship game before losing to the mighty Tarheels? The Wolfpack upset Duke last night in overtime 85-80 so these questions are abound especially with all the upsets that occurred in the ACC tournament yesterday. The Pack hasn’t won the ACC Championship since 1987 so this year makes it the 20th anniversary.

The picture above resembles the nickname “Psycho” given to super star Tyler Hansbrough. Tyler was the recipient of a flagrant elbow/forearm to the nose yesterday by Duke guard Gerald Henderson that was ultimately deemed intentional and landed him a one game suspension. We have included the Tyler Hansbrough injury clip below in case you missed the action. Duke and Carolina is always a slug fest, but in my opinion Duke took it too far especially since the game was out of reach. Thoughts?

The Duke Blue Devils mens basketball team fell out of the top 25 for the first time since the end of the 1995-96 team.  I remember that team very well because that was the year Mike Krzyzewski bowed out of the season as coach due to back problems.  I personally thought his ego and pride hurt worse, but nonetheless he didn’t finish coaching that year.  Well, this year’s Duke Blue Devils have now lost four games in a row and stand at a record of 18-7 overall and 5-6 in the ACC.  Will Krzykewski get a mysterious injury or will  the Blue Devils fall so far that they don’t even make the NCAA tournament?  These are the questions we will have answered in the coming weeks and I personally have enjoyed the fall from grace the Devils have endured.  Duke travels to Boston College this Valentines Day for what could be five in a row.
