NC State whipped Duke’s butt last night, and although I’d rather my team had won, I’m awfully proud that the flagship Duke hoops website takes the high road in reporting on the loss (as it consistently has done over the years). NC State does deserve congratulations, and it’s very good for the ACC when State thrives.
DBR regularly shows that unwavering support and home-team boosterism can go hand in hand with honest respect (and candid criticism) for other programs — and for Duke, when that’s called for. Well done, guys, and I’ll look forward to reading about Duke basketball on your site till the last game of the NCAA playoffs.
