ANSWER PERSON RESPONDS: You know, Answer Person has a real job, a real life, and isn’t about to get into a answering an endless series of sports stats trivia questions. Really! Now, if you want to know how many games Duke men and women have had this year where they scored 90 or more points, without overtimes, and lost the games, well, Answer Person will bend the rule(?) to allow for the Duke Fan Loyalty Exception. For now.

The answer:

The men, not once in the past five years; the last time was a 94-92 loss to Maryland March 1, 1995.

The women, not once in the past five years, ten years, fifteen years . . . never!
