The second-seeded Blue Devils used the perimeter shooting of Seth Curry and the inside dominance of Mason Plumlee to put last season's NCAA tournament upset to rest, beating Albany 73-61 on Friday in the second round of the Midwest Regional. It was in the same round — a...

(AP) — Duke won't get caught looking ahead in this NCAA tournament. Nobody's talking about a possible matchup with Michigan State, or a rematch with Louisville, or a return to Indianapolis — where these seniors won a national championship as freshmen. These Blue Devils understand they won't get there if they don't take care of Albany first. ...

(AP) — Seth Curry kept burying shots against helpless North Carolina defenders to give No. 3 Duke a big lead, then Mason Plumlee dominated inside to keep the Blue Devils in complete control against their fiercest rival.

(AP) — Ryan Kelly had waited two months for the chance to help his Duke teammates reclaim the form that made them the nation's top-ranked team. He returned with a stunning performance that shook up No. 5 Miami and left his own Hall of Fame coach struggling for the right words. The senior scored a career-high 36 points in his return from a foo...

(AP) — Joe Harris had just scored a career-high 36 points, essentially half of his team's total in a 73-68 victory against No. 3 Duke, and the junior guard was talking about "a team effort" and how the Cavaliers played "sound defense." Joe, was that the best performance of your basketball career? "I guess you could say that," he final...

(AP) — As the final horn sounded and Maryland fans rushed the court to celebrate a rare victory over its bitter rival, weary Duke had just enough energy left to escape the mayhem for the safety of its locker room. Seth Allen broke a tie by making two free throws with 2.8 seconds left, and the Terrapins stunned the second-ranked Blue Devi...

(AP) — Mason Plumlee didn't mind much that he was on the bench when No. 2 Duke finally took a lead on North Carolina. When the Blue Devils' elite big man finally got back on the court, he picked up his scoring pace.

(AP) — With its star big man on the bench with foul trouble, Duke went small to beat its top rival — and one of its smallest players came up big. The run that propelled the second-ranked Blue Devils to a 73-68 victory over North Carolina on Wednesday night started when Mason Plumlee sat down and backup guard Tyler Thornton warmed up.
