Chris Dortch @cdortch Lew Alcindor was playing the last time a No. 1 team was beaten as badly as Duke was last night at Miami. UCLA beat Houston by 32 in 1968.
moreUnlike LeBron James, the Duke Blue Devils didn't take their talents to South Beach.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski's top-ranked team seemed to leave it all back in Durham, getting blown out by 27 points by Miami (Fla.) and looking like the Hurricanes' punching bag for much of the night.
One way to tell that the Blue Devils were getting freakishly embarrassed came when TV's most Duke-biased personality completely bashed them.
Early in the second half, ESPN analyst Dick Vitale ripped Duke without any remorse, paying ultimate compliments to Miami.
"This is the poorest performance I have witnessed from a Duke team in all my years sitting courtside," Vitale said passionately on the live ESPN broadcast.
He later added, "Warm up the bus, this game is over. ...(The Blue Devils) have no one to blame but themselves."

Well, you know that he will never say anything bad about Coach K and I guess it was sort of funny that the Florida State players were slapping the floor on defense late in the game mocking the Dookies .I agree with the "sort of" analysis--seemed to me on the telecast last night that he was trying really hard to put this loss at the feet of the players instead of at the feet of his buddy Coach K.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/gameo...razies-come-under-scrutiny-for-chant/1901719/In Thursday's revenge victory against North Carolina State, a chant from Duke fans caused an uproar on social media. The Cameron Crazies, Duke's infamously enthusiastic student section, were accused on Twitter of taking a heartless jab at N.C. State freshman guard Tyler Lewis, who lost his grandmother last Friday.
A chant during Lewis' first free throw with 13:47 left in the game, while difficult to decipher, was thought to have sounded like "how's your grandma?" Despite the chant being louder and clearer during the second free throw, it was still impossible to confirm what was being chanted.
The Duke Chronicle reports the chant was "past your bedtime" which points at Lewis' youth as a freshman. Duke fans also chanted "Bilbo Baggins" to rip Lewis' 5-11 frame. That contention was vehemently disputed in the comments section of the article.
"It was mostly 'Past your bedtime,' but there was an instant when a brief number of students chanted about Tyler's grandmother," Rick Lewis, Tyler's father told the News-Observer on Friday. "It wasn't the entire student section, I think a few tried to outdo themselves."
