Duke advances to field of 16 with win over Michigan


-Duke hangs on, resorts to Coach K's old school play of holding the damn ball for the last 5+ minutes and we all get to watch as a 12 pt lead diminishes to 2... A shot clock violation, really??
-Irving plays in his second game scoring 11 with 9 coming from the line.
-Smith straps the team on his back and carries them to the field of 16 with a 24 point game.
-Singler finishes with 13 points and 8 boards.
-Kelly had a strong game with 11 pts on 5/6 shooting.
-Coach K earns win number 900, 2 more to go to catch Knight!

Congratulations Duke on making it past the first weekend, looking forward to watching you guys take on 'Zona in Anaheim!

Duke's 2 Players get Beat Down by UNC's 4 Players


-Duke again shoots a whopping 22% from 3-ball land and dies miserably.
-Curry hits 6 of his 3's, and no one else from Duke has a 3-ball, going a combined 0-16. Wait, I think they're still shooting!
-Smith drops 30 pts and Curry has 20, the rest of Duke is anemic.
-Duke collectively has 9 assists, while Marshall of Tarhole land has 11.

-Duke drops 2 of the last 3, losing to Virginia Tech on the road behind another miserable 20% 3pt shooting game.
-Again, only 2, maybe 3 players manned up, Smith and Singler, with Mason Plumlee putting up a decent game while Singler finally broke out of slump-ville dropping a double-double.
-Curry choked and spent the night in the fetal position, fouling out with zero points.

I hope Duke goes far in the upcoming tourneys, but I have my doubts..

You guys need to crawl in the toolbox and find an inside presence and get another wheel on the bus that can SHOOT!

Overall its been great watching the Smith/Singler show this senior season, can't wait to see you guys at the next level!
