Former Clemson point guard Bobby Conrad has been nominated to the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, which would leave him only one possible promotion as a judge, that being the Supreme Court.

They don’t give you anything for coming close, and moral victories aren’t what anyone wants, but that said, Duke’s getting better, even if it doesn’t show up yet in the win column. For the second year in a row, the Devils gave Miami all they wanted before bowing in the fourth quarter, 24-14.
