Duke was used to the microscope -- they were marked men ever since they touched down in Blugrass Country. Apparently, the legions of Kentucky fans decided to hate the team that had beaten them more recently (UK managed a W against Indiana this year, but lost an OT heartbreaker to Duke). The crowd was against the Devils from the beginning, which might have made a difference in the end. With 11 seconds left and the Blue Devils down for the first time all game, 72-70, Indiana guard A.J. Moye went to the line. Jones, on the bench after fouling out, apparently forgot where he was -- he turned toward the crowd and motioned for them to make noise. Fat chance; Moye hit both in morgue-like silence. But a few seconds later, when Williams got the ball from the ref, Rupp was a madhouse.

Here is a CnnSI feature on Tyler Hansbrough:
The downside of Hansbrough's automaton intensity? Rookie hazing is no fun for his teammates. He goes about the usual chores of bringing newspapers and donuts, but the trash talk has no impact. And why anger someone who's so eager to dish out punishment in practice?
Even the three former Duke players -- Dunleavy, Josh McRoberts and Dahntay Jones -- have given up.
"He doesn't take crap from anybody, so we'd be wasting our breath," Dunleavy said.

Mike Dunleavy -
Dunleavy kind of surprised everyone by leaving Duke early for the NBA. This elicited a pathetic response by former Duke player Kenny Dennard on the DBR.
Averaged 5.7 ppg his first year in the NBA. Perhaps the most you heard from Dunleavy his rookie year was the controversy he had with Caron Butler
Daddy can't help you. Can't nobody help you, you're out there on your own."
