Rock .. yup, it's tough. You really need to milk your camerea as far as it will go.
Your pics are blurry because there's not enough light, plus the guys are moving so quick.
Not sure what your cam is capable of, but here are some things to try for tonight's Duke game.
1. Check and see if your cam has an ISO setting. It's usually 100, 200, 400, 800, etc. The higher you go, the less blurry your shots will be. Unfortunately, the higher you go, the more noisy your shots, too. But at least they're not blurry.
2. See if your cam has a sport mode, or try to change the shutter speed to at least 1/80th or higher. Even 1/80th gets blurry sometimes, as these guys are moving so quick.
3. I usually prime my camera, hold the button down half way, so the autofocus lag is already done. Then you can snap it quick when something happens on your end of the court.
4. Take lots of shots. I have blurry ones too, you just don't get to see em, as I'll take 50-70 shots and pick the best ~10.
5. Feel free not to zoom too much .. the more you zoom, the less light there is. Then you crop. This can backfire, though, depending on the megapixels your cam has.
