The Duke Blue Devils are champions of the 2008 2K Sports Coaches vs Cancer Classic. They beat Michigan, 71-56, to seal the deal.The two will meet again in two weeks at Michigan.
It was a productive trip to New York for Duke. The defense was suffocating this week and sophomore point guard Nolan Smith has started to come into his own. Kyle Singler and Gerald Henderson are also turning into the stars we all thought they'd be.
This is all coming after the Blue Devils were nearly beaten at home by Rhode Island last Sunday. In that game, Duke gave up 54.7% shooting to the Rams and missed on 13 of 17 shots from behind the arc. Duke went on an 18-8 run to end the game and eek out a victory.
It still is sad that Duke wasn't able to play UCLA tonight to see how far along the Devils really are. We may find out in a couple of weeks when they head to Purdue to take on the Boilermakers.

DUKE just wipped the floor with the team that just gave UCLA all they could handle, and guess what num nuts???? It was Michigan!! You joke. DUKE just showed you they are for real, but you too stupid and untrained to see it. Get a job dweeb and stay off the this site with your worthless comments.
