Hold on tight UK fans, you just went from arguably the #1 most talented school in College Basketball to a squad that just hit up the Us Versus Them summer pickup squad to see if we wanted to rip the “D” and the “E” off of our National Championship jerseys and run with UK next [...]
I’ll admit it. I got sucked in by the UConn women and their quest for greatness. They were really killing other squads. When you win an elite 8 game 90-40, you are playing a completely different sport. But then in the national championship game, these chick scored 12 points in the first half. That is [...]
Somewhere a fire burns on West campus, tomorrow morning there will not be a single scrap of a wood bench left on campus because Duke has won the national championship.
Damn it feels good to be a Blue Devil right now. I’m not going to lie, I didn’t expect a championship out of this team. I [...]
First of All, I’m going to start by telling all the haters to Man Up. Duke is back in the Final Four.
So break out the conspiracy theories about the easy bracket, add a layer of “who the NCAA wants to win”, and rub it down with some Coach K is in the with refs, and [...]
I don’t even know what to say. I guess this is why they call it March Madness, but I don’t remember a tournament this exciting in a long, long time. I wasn’t one of those people glued to the TV from Thursday at noon to Sunday night, but I saw plenty. I think Cole Aldrich [...]
The Us Versus Them Challenge is already 25 deep, get in now before the late crunch tomorrow morning. We’ll let you run a victory speech on the front page and you get to talk (more) shit all year in our always active comments section. Lake said he might even come back to get some.
——————–UPDATE————————
don’t be [...]
I can’t hate on Syracuse basketball. It is hard to be the #1 team in the country. Everyone is gunning for you, everyone gives you their best shot, if you lose on someone else’s floor you get the automatic floor rush from the students.
That feeling sucks. Well Syracuse got a great first half [...]
Michael Jordan’s son Marcus is a freshman at University of Central Florida.
He’s got the MJ shoulder tattoos, he’s got his dad’s guns and he’s ready to play ball. He sparked off a lot of controversy when he showed up to his school, sponsored by Adidas, and let them know that he needed to rock a [...]
…and before you answer the question, please note that a basketball team is designed to win basketball games.
Hey, not to blatantly play the race card (well, I didn’t, our recruiting has) but basketball is a game that is literally dominated by African Americans. So you would think an elite college basketball team would have, oh [...]
I blame Christian Laettner. This picture pretty much sums up my opinion of Greg Paulus’ defensive ability during his tenure at Duke.
Dammit. War baby Curry in 2010-11.

I guess that Pressure D and wide open motion offense isn’t the only thing Ricky P has been running out there in the past years.
Damn, apparently some ex-model, Karen Sypher, tried to stick Rick for his paper or else she’d tell everyone that she got preggers catching a good ole Pitino delivered bang out in [...]
When the “LeBron Dunk Tape” from the Nike camps was first announced, it sounded like LeBron really caught an L. When the real tape came out though it wasn’t that bad. Everyone gets dunked on. But this joint right here, as actually pretty bad. Incoming Kentucky freshman John Wall, shakes a dude on the perimeter [...]
While Coach K continues to line his fat pockets with endorsement deals, commercial dollars and shoe contracts. While K keeps stacking up civic awards, idiot commentary toward the president and other achieving hoops programs and YES winning gold medals, the Duke Basketball Program is in a FUCKING FREE FALL!!!
Dear Coach K and Coach K Jr. [...]
….someone cue up Heartless by Kanye.
Jesus. Not that this is a shocker to anyone, but Gerald Henderson has made his “No more drama” initiative final and signed with an agent. Now, that’s pretty much slow signing and flower bringing time for Duke Hoops.
(shouts to Nickel Plated Bama)
I mean, imagine what this team will be like [...]
No, I’m serious. Greg Paulus, formerly of Duke Basketball fame, could be your starting Quarterback next year.
Exactly. And I don’t know what’s worse about this story, the fact that Pauly is trying to go fantasy land on his college experience or the fact that he truly might be the best option you guys got!
It’s kind [...]
The Winner of the 2009 Us Versus Them March Madness Brackets is Rosy_F Baby (please say the Baby) from the comments. She’s been down since day one and it is only fitting that she takes the crown. Rosy likes Jim Beam, those Beantown skreets, keeping it real, the Red Sox and self-UvT certification.
You can see [...]
I don’t know how they did it, but the Michigan State Spartans are in the final game and playing for the Championship. Honestly, I know they were the 2 seed, but this is about as close to Cinderella as you are going to see in the final game of the tourney. Nobody, and I mean [...]
Duke got their asses Druuuuuuuuuug, the hell up out of the spot by Nova last night. I mean, I think we got one open shot all night. The CBS feed I was watching cut away from the game we were getting so blown out. I mean did we reallywant Lance Thomas to have the ball [...]
Usually, Man Up Monday is about someone who has already messed up. This time I’m getting it in early. Sure, some people think I should have busted out the Man Up Monday on the boys in blue two weeks ago when Carolina hammered us…again. But I wasn’t ready. Since then we’ve won five games in [...]
Now it’s time to stand up and be counted people. The legends of UvT have haunted these electronic halls for almost two years. Plenty of your ran your smack, talked your shat, even tried to convince me you had the mind of this fellow.
Oh you had plenty to say when Duke lost. Didn’t say much [...]
Not sure if cats all saw this. ESPN did tease it endless and shamelessly. But how cool is Barack Obama?
“I can’t be staying up to 2 o’clock, I got work to do”.. hilarious.
I know, I know haters. Why isn’t he doing his job? Why doesn’t he concentrate on the economy? Why doesn’t he just pick [...]
Ask and you shall receive. I know you cats think you have advanced basketball minds. I know you love hating on Duke.
And most of all, you cats really enjoy picking the most obvious team to win, so now we’ve got the real deal set up to truly separate the Us from Them.
Dasrite, it’s UvT Bracketology [...]
The brackets are set. The conference championships are over. Every loss from this point forward sends your ass packing. Which is kinda dangerous, because with the exception of Louisville, Memphis and, ahem…the Duke Blue Devils, every single Team in the Top 10 caught it in the jaw.
#1 Carolina Tarheels? Peaced out to barely in the [...]
It was hard to watch, but Duke caught an ass whooping unlike anything I’ve ever seen since I’ve been watching Duke Basketball. They got drug the F*ck out the gym by TWENTY SEVEN against Clemson!
To say I don’t get it is an understatement. My sources tell me that the fellas are going to be at [...]
Look, it’s a long season and Michigan is improved, but Duke just folded on Saturday like a team that really thought they were poised to stroll their way into the final four.
We could have used a bit more of this brand of heart of fire from the fellas and Mr. McCurl. Funny, those Michigan backdoor [...]
