(Blue) Devils go down to Georgia
by Clark Kellogg, Yahoo! Sports
(1) Duke at (14) Georgia Tech - Sat, 5 p.m. ET (ESPN)
Blue Devils
1st, ACC
Record: 17-1, 6-0
Yellow Jackets
T-2nd, ACC
16-3, 4-2
To stay unbeaten at home, Georgia Tech will have to do a strong job on the glass and take care of the ball. Like Duke, Tech enjoys a fast-paced game with a foundation of pressure D and always attacking on O. Dribble penetration and the 3-point shot are big parts of both teams' offenses.
This should be a very entertaining and hard-fought game. Both teams are very disruptive defensively. Players will have to make 'basketball plays' - pass and catch, hard cuts, take and make good shots when available and so on. Neither team should be able to run much set offense. And both teams are good at playing fast and efficiently.
Duke has better post players in Sheldon Williams, Shavlik Randolph and even Luol Deng, and the Blue Devils are just as potent on the perimeter as the Yellow Jackets. The front line could be the difference in a Duke win.
Pick: Blue Devils

MyDoom Worm Spreads as Hunt for Author Intensifies
LONDON (Reuters) - A cyber dragnet aiming to flush out the author of the MyDoom computer worm intensified Friday as the outbreak crippled still more e-mail networks.
Investigators and security experts hoped their hunt would get a boost after Microsoft Corp. offered a $250,000 reward Thursday for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the creator of one variant, MyDoom.B.
The offer follows a similar $250,000 bounty from software firm SCO Group Inc . The 'doom' viruses are programmed to unleash digital attacks aimed at overwhelming both firms' Internet sites starting this weekend.
'If there is a break, it will come from the bounties,' said Mikko Hypponen, research manager at Finnish anti-virus firm F-Secure.
MyDoom.A, also known as Novarg or Shimgapi, emerged on Monday often masquerading as an e-mail error message from a 'Mail Administrator' and other official-looking addresses that contains a file attachment.
Hundreds of thousands of computer users have clicked on the seemingly benign attachment, infecting their computers.
The attachment releases a program capable of taking over the victim's computer, experts warned, before scouring the Internet for more vulnerable machines.
The effect is a massive logjam of data traffic that bogs down e-mail servers and rejects many incoming and outgoing messages.
