“As Duke moves forward in the NCAA Tournament this weekend, the players also
are moving forward in their love-hate relationship with the country. Everything about the Duke logo,
mascot, colors and just the name -- Duke -- means
college basketball. The Blue Devils are to college hoops what the Dallas Cowboys are to the NFL and the New York Yankees are to Major League Baseball. They have fans
everywhere, and they have haters everywhere.
This weekend at the South
Regional at Reliant Stadium has been no different.”
Houston Chronicle’s JENNY DIAL, while Duke was visiting Texas for the NCAA’s South Regional Championship
“Best thing about Blue Devils: Watching them out-wit, out-last and out-hustle opponents, and entertain at the same time.”
