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 [...]
Duke 70, Florida State 56, Final: Duke moves to 5-2 in the ACC with tonight’s victory, showing great resilience as the Blue Devils fought off a 12-0 run from the Seminoles midway through the second half.

But while Plumlee had dominated certain possessions, he had never taken complete control of a game.
That is, [...]
Duke’s 2009 recruiting class was hailed for yielding two skilled big men to bolster a front-court that most national prognosticators had deemed the Blue Devils’ weakness for much of the post-Shelden Williams era. But while Mason Plumlee has stolen most of the spotlight (at least before a wrist injury contributed to him losing his projected [...]
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 [...]
Duke 80, St. John’s 71- FINAL
A Jon Scheyer block and a Nolan Smith dunk have appeared to finish this one off, putting Duke up eight with only a few seconds remaining. The Blue Devils showed flashes of brilliance today, yet repeatedly let St. John’s back into the game when they could have put them away [...]
Oh, the wonders of the american airline system: after our 11:30 (central time) flight was canceled due to “maintenance issues,” my colleague Joe Drews and I are stuck in Madison’s lovely airport (seriously, it is nice for a small airport) for another two hours until we can begin our journey home.

Despite being down three, Duke was unable to even get a three point shot attempt off—first after Nolan Smith drove to the basket instead of trying [...]
