Saturday's Illinois-Duke matchup in New York City was meant to be a priming of the pump, a get-ready non-conference interlude that would allow both teams to get a feel for an NCAA Tournament environment and competition.

A non-conference game in February doesn't happen very often in college basketball. However, Duke and Illinois may have started a new tradition.

Illinois lost to Duke by a historic margin in a college basketball game. Here is a recap and highlights from Madison Square Garden in New York.

Miami is interested in hiring Jai Lucas as its next head basketball coach and, according to the Associated Press, Lucas is planning to accept the job, though details are not finalized.

Miami will likely want its new head coach in place before Duke finishes what could be a long NCAA tournament run.
