Just another (dark) Blue Light special at the Chapel Hill Coach K-Mart.

Mason's reverse dunk was off the charts. Wow! As Coach K said in his post-game presser, that play was a game-changer. Looking forward to many more of those type plays from the Plumlee brothers.

[moonpie23]

someone else mentioned that it could be a signature move for him....has anyone ever "patented" that move?

get position, get ball, "back-dunk"...

With a non-trivial injury to LT, we are REALLY going to need great play going forward out of Mason and Andre!!

I agree that was an amazing dunk

[Memphis Devil]

I'm pretty sure the shot of the ref talking to Mason after the reverse dunk was about him slapping the backboard. He has done this several times in the past and wouldn't be suprised to see the next one followed by a technical. This is a bad habit that alot of kids pick up in AAU/High School ball.

Anyways, it was a great play by Mason and definitely a momentum boost for the good guys.

He got a T for the last one.

Backboard slap or not, that dunk was THE turning point of the game. It came in what was an incredibly tight game beforehand, when we were tied 45-45, and gave our boys the momentum to put it away down the stretch. I don't care what happens from here, Mason's season is vindicated by that dunk. I mean, damn. just, damn.

Really? I don't recall him getting a technical or them shooting free throws...

[moonpie23]

he didn't get a T last night...

[DukieInBrasil]

I was very pleased with Mason's game last night. Beyond the rebs (9) and points (7) he played 27 minutes to compensate for Miles' 13.
Now that LT is injured I have to believe that Mason will be starting vs MD.

[Battierfan01]

I think that we are seeing just the beginning of how great Mason can be at Duke. I really think that he is going to be a special player. He is already one of my favorites on this team. He played great in his first trip to the Dean Dump!! Keep it up Mason.

[DukeBlueNikeShox]

I thought it was the Williams/Boozer/Dunleavy Dome - since they were a perfect 3-0 there.

[Newton_14]

He got a T for the last one.

Sorry but that is not correct. Mason did not get a T in the Wake game. He got chastised by the ref for woofing, but definitely did not get a technical for anything. I did not see him slap the backboard after last night's dunk, but he may have. Did not see a ref say anything to him though...

[RockLobster]

I'm not saying Mason shouldn't get a T if he slaps the backboard, but what they decide is "unsportsmanlike" is rather arbitrary.

If Mason can get a T for that, I want to see Will Graves get one for strutting down the court and bobbing his head after making a shot.

... I did not see him slap the backboard after last night's dunk, but he may have. Did not see a ref say anything to him though...

I saw Mason and the ref talking after Mason's dunk (then after a unc possession), and I thought it was for what I thought was excessive hanging on the rim. I also didn't think I saw him slap the backboard. But if you go to the dukeblueplanet.com site and watch the top-5 from the unc game, Mason did slap the backboard just after he let go of the rim.

Will Graves's monster shot and big-time strut were the last gasp for the Heels.

The fact is, Duke shut them down the last ten minutes of the game. Graves's miracle shot was was in desperation. They never made another meaningful shot after that.

It's OK, Will, as far as I'm concerned, to strut while you are walking the plank.
