HOE...LEE...

The number-one-ranked Duke University men's basketball team lost a game.

At home. 

At Cameron Indoor.

To Stephen F. Austin.

Big, big deal! Around here, if people love Duke, they hate Carolina, and the sentiment is returned. First non-ACC loss in Cameron in twenty seasons. This is awesome (speaking as a Tarheel fan).

I'm not quite sure I'm going to put this on a Chaminade(Hawaii)-Virginia upset level just yet but good Lord, it's impressive.

I've known that for a long time, ur. ;-)

But that's why I love American college basketball. These upsets that come out of nowhere.

Sorry, Chris, but this one takes the prize. Yes, Virginia was also ranked #1 at the time, but Chaminade was an away game with a good dose of jet-lag added to it. Duke lost this one at home & in front of that notorious Cameron denizen, the Duke student body.

I think I can go with you there, ur. The Cavs playing in Hawaii and all that kind of stuff. This one had to be sweeter.

[The end of a too long drought.]

Psst. The Cavs play for Cleveland. For us, it's the Hoos.
