Everybody Loves to Hate Duke

hate_duke.jpgSports Central | The Team Everyone Loves to Hate

This should have been America's team. As Dick Vitale will remind you 7,845 times this year, the Dukies achieve at academic levels above most of their peers. They rarely run afoul of the law. They rival David Eckstein in grittiness and hustle. A quick review of some of the most hated Blue Devils of the past decade-and-a-half provides plenty of examples: Steve Wojciechowski slapping the floor on the defensive end; Shane Battier diving into the stands for a loose ball.

And yet we just can't help but hate them. Their great sin? They win too much.
