Duke leads heading down stretch

DUKE, 48-44

The worst part of this game is not how poorly the GU bigs are playing. It's not the officiating, though Teddy Valentine is the most over-rated official in America.

No, it's we have to listen to Dick Vitale, the nation's No. 1 front-runner.

It's almost enough to make me want to throw my computer through the big screen.

By the way, Nelson's fifth foul was a good illustration of how the Blue Devils have been able to "hold" down Derek Raivio tonight.

There are less than 4 minutes left, and we'll be back at the end of the game with a link to the story and some commentary. Then we are switching over to the WSU game.
