it was an old school win. Throughout the nineties and the early part of this decade Duke would play for 5-10 minutes lights out and better than anyone in country could dream of. The remaining 30-35 minutes were pretty even, well contested ball games with the other team sometimes even looking better. That holds true when Duke plays the UNCs and Wakes as well as the Davidsons and Armys of the game. It's always mattered that Duke got just enough of a lead in that 5-10 minute "patented Duke run" to win the game. It's just rare that they start the game off with said run. Usually it's either right at the end of the half or the very beginning of the second.

Awesome game. Upset that Duke didn't keep the killshots coming, but Wake is a good team, and Teague refused to go down without a scrap.

The ACC tourney is going to be tremendous. I'm getting tickets..

I hate to say it...oh wait no I don't...I told you that Duke would get this win so there wouldn't be any more bragging rights since it would be split.

Sidenote: Did anyone notice the Duke jerseys? New Nike technology, like 31% Lighter. And they had a tribute to the "Gothic Look" of Duke's campus.

I really liked them. The guys on the Duke forums hated them. I guess i'm young.

Link, btw Men's Basketball Unveils Alternate Jersey Today - GoDuke.com—Official Athletics Web site of Duke University

They are alternates btw, not going to be a staple.

I noticed them too, I was wondering if that was how their white jerseys always were and I had been missing it or not. I thought they were pretty cool with an extra little touch.

It's always a good weekend when UNC loses and Duke wins.:rock: Good game and good job on them to keep their heads in the game when Wake was making their comeback. Go Duke!

You must be under 25 as well. My grandfather and dad hated them. They both called me just to see what the hell was wrong with the jerseys. They need to keep in touch with the interweb.

i'm just over 25 and I didn't like it. Just keep it simple. I hated the blue they wore over the shoulders a few years ago, and I don't like the black trim now. Classic blue and white is all they need.

If I'm not mistaken, the blue over the shoulders (white one the away jerseys) was the season K missed and Duke sucked and they decided they would never wear them again.

The classic blues are my all time favorite. I'd be ecstatic if they brought them back, especially against the boys down the road.

But I did like the ones tonight. Teams like stuff like that, and so do recruits.

It wouldn't matter if you were younger or not, you would still have hated them because you have that old type mind. :):p

you're probably right windy, but recruits and teams like to win first and foremost. Carolina hasn't changed much in years and Roy doesn't have a problem getting recruits in there.

IMO, thats due to Roy. He plays frosh, he likes to run, and almost every kid that can play good enough to get a sniff from UNC was a MJ fan, and they like baby blue for some reason.

It seems lately less kids want to play at Duke. PPat, Monroe, now Boynton. I'm down with K "evolving" if you will.

Tennessee is Orange and White and Black does not need to be used for their unis. Duke is royal blue and white and there is no need for black trim on their unis. I can't stand the black.

if K can't bring them in by showing the ten Final Four, ten ACC Championship and 3 National Title banners along with footage of him leading Team USA to a Gold Medal, silly uniforms aren't going to do it either.

I wish it were that simple. Players today are a different breed.
