At 11:20 p.m., five minutes after Duke had blown a 10-point second-half lead and lost to UNC, the Cameron Crazies filed out of the building. There were no visible tears or emotional wringing over the transgressions of the past 140 minutes; Instead, the dominant conversation was of which bar to now frequent.

Dahntay Jones -
Transfer from Rutgers. A good player, but unfortunately will be remembered most for his on court antics. See Larry Shyatt incident and the following excerpt from this article:
Without Jones, Duke would have felt its way along this season. With him, the team gained swagger.
Sometimes, too much of it. Krzyzewski blasted Jones for a flashy behind-the-back pass on a fast break against Florida State. After a spectacular dunk against Virginia, Jones fell to the floor and did pushups in front of a TV camera. Wake Forest freshman guard Justin Gray broke his jaw hitting a Jones' screen. Jones swiped North Carolina freshman point guard Raymond Felton across the face on a rebound, leaving him on face-down on the floor in anguish and setting up a chest-bumping altercation between Carolina coach Matt Doherty and Duke assistant Chris Collins.
It makes one wonder - with players such as Dahntay Jones, how come Duke still has the 'clean' reputation mentioned in this article:
Duke is perceived as arrogant. But the reality is: Coach K doesn't let the Devils be cocky, talk trash or strut on the court. They are a throwback to the time when being humble still mattered in America.
Here's Dahntay's website on BlackPlanet
update - Dahntay is a thug in the NBA too:
As Shawn Marion attempted a layup, Memphis' Dahntay Jones pushed him to the ground. An angry Marion landed hard and had to be restrained from going after Jones by teammate Steven Hunter.
Jones, who was called for a flagrant foul, later apologized to Marion, but the Suns were still steaming about the hit after the game.
'It was a dirty foul,' Hunter said. 'He (Marion) was hot, but I wasn't going to let him do anything stupid.'
Suns coach Mike D'Antoni, hearing fans heckling him, turned around and shouted, 'That's not right. That's not basketball.'
No one was angrier than Quentin Richardson, who said he wanted to '(expletive deleted) Jones up.'
'If it had been in the regular season, he would have been in the first row with me on top of him,' Richardson said. 'But we had better things to do than get into it.'
