Again, it was a tale of two teams. Syracuse blitzed State early, behind a barrage of baskets by Scoop Jardine, dunk...

Posted on 2 Dec 2010 by Brian Ivory.
Faced with their toughest test yet this year, Duke proved they are a formidable top team. Duke hasn't lost a non-conference home game since 2000 against a St. Johns team featuring Ron Artest.

Hopefully for the Owls sake it was just one of those bad weeks. The offense looked very stagnant as the Owls just continually settled for jumpshots.Â...
