FINAL SCORE: Duke 67, Virginia, 49
1:09 2nd Half; Duke 64 , Virginia 45: With 2:52 to go, Meyinsse is taken out of the game along with any chance of Virginia going on any sort of run. If anything has stuck out this game, it would be the Cavalier’s inability to get any sort of momentum [...]

Quote of the Game: Duke vs. Tulsa

by Scott Rich on February 25, 2010

Brian Zoubek’s streak of stellar performances continued Thursday, as the center recorded a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds. That prompted teammate Jon Scheyer to say:
“Zoubs has been awesome, obviously. He’s made so many plays throughout the game, and because he’s been playing more I think you’re seeing his passion come out. His intensity [...]

Coaching by the numbers

by Alex Fanaroff on February 24, 2010

In his column yesterday, Ben Cohen asked Duke assistant coach Chris Collins an interesting question and got, well, a less than interesting response:
I got in touch with Chris Collins, Duke’s associate head coach, to ask whether Duke’s staff was a member of the growing ranks that swear by statistical analysis.
“The numbers we use a lot [...]

Georgetown 84, Duke 68, 2:10 left: Probably the most telling stat from this game is the field goal percentage disparity.  Georgetown is still shooting over 70 percent from the floor, which is absurd, while Duke is stuck at a dismal 35 percent.  Singler just fouled out, and the Hoyas just converted another and-one.
We’re done for [...]

Before Sunday night, Miles Plumlee had yet to put it all together in one, cohesive performance. Sure, countless times he had finished plays with powerful dunks and wiped opponents’ shots out of the air with his long arms. But while Plumlee had dominated certain possessions, he had never taken complete control of a game.
That is, [...]

Duke 84, Long Beach 63 (0:22.0): Duke with a last minute foul slows Duke’s train to the finish line. Davidson and Johnson come into this game as the crowd gets on its feet. Fleming to the line.

Coach Krzyzewski: Brain Zoubek Is Underrated

by Taylor Doherty on December 20, 2009

After a convincing 76-41 win over Gonzaga Saturday at Madison Square Garden, head coach Mike Krzyzewski told the media that he thinks senior Brian Zoubek has been underrated as a player so far this year:
“The kid who really hasn’t gotten much attention for us, is [Brian] Zoubek,” Krzyzewski said. “Brian has had a hell of [...]

With the student section home for winter break during Tuesday night’s game against Garnder-Webb, trademark Cameron Crazie chants were noticeably absent.
Not that it really mattered for Jon Scheyer. Bereft of hearing “Scheyer’s on fire,” the senior instead let his play speak for himself, finishing with a career-high 36 points on 11-of-13 shooting. He also tallied [...]
