Duke basketball: Hall of Fame overlooks Blue Devils, Tar Heels

The National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame, which inducted former Duke basketball great Shane Battier this week, surely also includes fellow Duke legend Bobby Hurley, right?

Wrong. And the Blue Devils' starter at point guard from the 1989-90 season through 1992-93 is not the only all-time player from Tobacco Road who inexplicably continues to go overlooked.

First, despite reaching three final fours, winning two national championships, and dishing out what remains the NCAA all-time record number of assists (1,076) -- not to mention a career 40.5 percent clip from deep and 1.7 steals per game -- Hurley is not among the now-131 inducted players.
