Blue Devils survive Red Storm 83-76

Updated 4:44 p.m.

DURHAM -- After Duke finished going through the motions in the second half of its discomforting 83-76 win over St. John’s on Saturday afternoon, its locker room was almost as somber as it was last week when the Blue Devils lost to Florida State.

There are times when a win is not a win.

“We did enough to win, which almost makes me sick to say that,” Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. “I hate saying that we did enough to win. That’s not who I am, and it’s not who this program is. We don’t do enough to win – we play really good basketball, and then hopefully we win. …

The Triangle at E3: Better with friends

We heard from some Triangle game companies at E3. We didn't hear from others. What we did hear all had a common theme: working together for a common cause. Oh, and guns. Working together and guns. Here's a look at their showings.

NEW YORK – Senior forward Kyle Singler paused and thought for a moment when asked what coach Mike Krzyzewski said to Duke’s players Sunday afternoon after a humbling, 93-78 loss to St. John’s at Madison Square Garden.

Krzyzewski’s signature trait in 31 seasons as Duke’s coach has been his ability to take McDonald’s All-Americans and get them to play harder than the guys on opposing rosters who felt snubbed in the recruiting process.

That didn’t happen Sunday as St. John’s played “beautifully,” according to Krzyzewski, and No. 3-ranked Duke lacked the intensity that has been its trademark. After the game, Singler said, Krzyzewski didn’t have much to say to the team.
