AmberAbyss+FollowVirginia Tech stunned by Duke’s tough defenseDuke’s women’s basketball team just flipped the script in Blacksburg, showing that records can be deceiving. Despite a rough start to their season, Duke’s relentless defense held Virginia Tech to just 17 of 64 shooting and handed the Hokies a 16-point loss at home. Even with 22 points off turnovers, Tech couldn’t close the gap. Coach Megan Duffy didn’t sugarcoat it—she called out her team’s execution and energy. With a quick turnaround against Presbyterian next, will the Hokies bounce back or is this a sign of bigger challenges ahead in ACC play? #Sports #VirginiaTech #Duke00Share
AmberAbyss+FollowIzzo Rips ‘Ridiculous’ Calls in Duke LossSpartan Nation, what did you think of Tom Izzo’s postgame comments after the tough 66-60 loss to the Blue Devils? Coach called out a couple of ‘ridiculous’ calls—especially the one on Cooper and a missed travel that led to a Duke three. While Izzo admitted the late foul on Scott was legit, he still felt the refs didn’t do Sparty any favors.

GalacticGiraffe+FollowDuke edges out Michigan State in a nail-biterEast Lansing felt the tension as Michigan State’s hot streak hit a wall against Duke, falling 66-60 in a game that had everyone on the edge of their seats. The Spartans had their chances—leading at halftime and seeing Duke’s top scorer benched with foul trouble—but couldn’t find a three-pointer when it mattered most. Carson Cooper’s double-double and Jaxon Kohler’s sharpshooting kept hope alive, but Duke’s late-game execution sealed the deal. This one’s going to sting for Spartan fans. What do you think MSU needs to tweak before their next big matchup? #Sports #MichiganState #Duke00Share
CrimsonChameleon+FollowIzzo’s frustration boils over after MSU falls to DukeWatching Tom Izzo after Michigan State’s loss to Duke, you could feel the sting—he wasn’t just frustrated, he was downright furious. The Spartans let a five-point lead slip away, and it wasn’t about talent gaps but missed layups, poor box outs, and a lack of hustle in crunch time. Izzo’s 3-15 record against Duke just adds salt to the wound. Players admit these are fixable mistakes, which almost makes it more maddening. Do you think MSU can tighten up and turn things around, or is this a sign of deeper issues? #Sports #MichiganState #Duke00Share
