"No deficit seems too deep these days for Duke -- even if the Blue Devils insist they can't afford to keep winning this way. For the second time in nine days, Duke (No. 4 ESPN/USA Today, No. 5 AP) staged a remarkable comeback to beat a neighborhood rival."

ESPN - March Madness / Duke Blue Devils
"Four freshmen (besides Anthony Davis) who will have the biggest say in how their team fares in March:
1. Austin Rivers, Duke: The Blue Devils point guard had his "aha!" moment when he swished a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to beat North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Seth Curry, Ryan Kelly and the Plumlee brothers are nice pieces, but Rivers is the Blue Devils' game changer."

Bleacher Report - Duke Basketball
"The Blue Devils don't have to worry too much about compromising their long-term goals, as they will be a threat to win the ACC Tournament when it rolls around, and they have enough talent to make a run through the NCAA Tournament when it comes calling. The rest of the regular season is a mere formality, with a couple high-profile games against North Carolina mixed in."

Sports Illustrated - Blue Devils' Plumlee Brothers
"When Duke refers to its basketball family this year they'll probably be talking about the Plumlees. The Blue Devils have three Plumlee brothers on the team: Senior Miles and younger brothers Mason, a junior, and Marshall, a freshman. That's just the third time that's happened at a Division I school and the first time since the 1950s."

Washington Post - Mike Krzyzewski
"The always-busy Mike Krzyzewski has a lot on his plate — even for him. He’s trying to lead a young Duke team to a fourth consecutive Atlantic Coast Conference tournament title, attempting to lead the U.S. national team to back-to-back Olympic gold medals and is on the verge of becoming the winningest men’s basketball coach in Division I history... For Krzyzewski, the inevitable march toward history isn’t about a specific number, but the company it puts him in."

Sports Illustrated - Duke Blue Devils #1 Backcourt
"Austin Rivers, Seth Curry, Andre Dawkins, Quinn Cook, Tyler Thornton Rivers, whose father is Celtics coach Doc Rivers, is expected to be one of the college game's most electric scorers as a freshman. Curry, who had to take a backseat to star Nolan Smith last season, can light it up as well, and Dawkins is a sharpshooter who spreads the floor. If Cook and Thornton can give the Blue Devils quality minutes at the point guard spot, they'll be even scarier."

ESPN.com - Changes to Duke Blue Devils Football Program
"Things are quietly changing in Durham, N.C., as David Cutcliffe has shaken things up a bit entering his fourth year as the coach for the Duke Blue Devils... When Cutcliffe arrived on campus, the Blue Devils were the only team in major college football that didn't have a 100-yard practice field. They practiced on a 70-yard field. That was changed quickly. Now they are less than a month away from completing an indoor practice facility. They added a media center and full training facility and other things were giving face lifts. Basically, there's been a complete renovation and restoration of the Duke football program, including the roster."
