Duke men's basketball team poses with assault rifles (PHOTOS)

Serious looking photos of members of the Duke men's basketball team holding automatic assault rifles were posted on some of the Blue Devils' personal Facebook pages Saturday and had some people wondering what the shots depicted or if they were in bad taste.

Deadspin later explained that the Dukies and their M4 Carbines were part of the team's four-day fall break. They had visited West Point —coach Mike Krzyzewski's alma mater — and taken some target practice with some of the cadets before heading to New York City where they planned on seeing a Broadway play, the National 9/11 Memorial and a show at the Apollo Theater. The team even had dinner with some former Duke greats including Grant Hill.

After all that infantry training, Coach K's sharpshooters might want to start their season by seeing both Blue Man Group and A Time To Kill.

High school star Tony Farmer faints in court after getting three year sentence

Tony Farmer— the highly-recruited high school basketball star had his anticipated high-flying college career come crashing down to the ground on Tuesday.

Farmer, from Garfield Heights, Ohio was sentenced to three years in prison for kidnapping and assault of his ex-girlfriend Andrea Lane.

The 18-year old basketball star looked shocked when his sentence was announced by the judge before he turned to his attorney and collapsed to the floor after fainting.

Farmer, a 6-foot-6 forward, was ranked as one of the top-100 high school players in the class of 2013 and was being courted by the likes of Dayton, Xavier, Ohio State, Michigan State, Iowa, West Virginia and Illinois.

His sentence will be reviewed after 180 days and the schools will have to wait and see how the case plays out, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The incident took place last April in the lobby and parking lot of Farmer's apartment complex.  It was caught on a building security camera.  Farmer also reportedly threatened Lane via text messages.
