"Help me...Help you"

By Avi Zaleon, IDS men's basketball columnist

Yes this immortal quote from Jerry Maguire serves as the name for this blog post because these college journalists want to hear from you.

On the other side, arguably the most disdained team in the nation, the Duke Blue Devils. While there aren't many guarantees for Monday night, there are some good bets.
