What is great about duke this year is that every night it will be a new guy carrying the load. Last year it was the big three, this year it could be the great eight!! Go duke!!

kyle has many fewer shots than kyrie and nolan
kyle only had 2 FT....
he's not gonna get any sort of awards unless he can get up there with the other guys in points

K-State's A/TO: 5-21
Duke's A/TO: 14-13
There's the game right there. Our perimeter defense just strangles our opponents.
Wow. Kyrie really made Pullen look bad. It seemed to me like after Kyrie used him a couple of times in the first few minutes he lost his game and I think he knew he had nothing for him.
Time to go to Oregon and do some Duck hunting!!
Fantastic win by Duke. I love our offense and defense.
Few thoughts:
1.) K-State is not the 4th best team in the nation now. If they can't force turnovers, they're nothing.
2.) In the Yahoo Rival point guard rankings, Jacob Pullen is 1st and Kyrie is 4th. This game made Kyrie look like 1st and Pullen look 121st.
3.) First a coming out game yesterday by Mason and today by Kyrie. This team is so potent from many different players. You really have to pick your poison.
4.) Fantastic road win! That was a tough atmosphere that even got to the refs. We just went in and played our game.
In his post-game after Marquette, Coach K said some things about preparation. Man, did he have our guys prepared tonight. Just excellent execution of a game plan. Definitely worth the red eyes and yawns in the morning.
We have some talented and tough dudes on this team. Go Duke!
Is that now five straight tournament wins for Duke and six for Coach K?

Excellent, excellent game. I thought going into the season that this would be a tougher game than the Michigan State game, since it effectively was a road game. Glad to see us have such a convincing performance.
Fantastic. Particularly loved, with about two minutes to go, when Dre faked that three that was fairly open, but smartly passed it back to get more seconds off the clock.
And how was he rewarded?
A three some 20+ seconds later.
Anyone else notice that one? Very smart... a great play that even the Duke fans in attendance appreciated.
I love what I see from this team in terms of chemistry; they just seem to be a really bonded group, from the 13th guy up through the coaching staff.
Great win; congrats to the team and Coach K on #800.
I think he would also like a high draft position, but either way
I think this team is better when kyle is getting shots, when kyle is getting to the line, and when kyle is scoring
now perhaps he is in a funk, and perhaps the team's we've played aren't conducive to his scoring, but at some point we're going to NEED his scoring, and this offense has to prove it can run in such a way that can get him touches which lead to scores

Great win, guys.
Only two things to gripe about (and not Duke's fault)
1. Decals that cause players to slip---downright unsafe and cause unnecessary turnovers
2. Refs---way too many foul calls, and not consistent
Congrats on your 800th at Duke, Mike Krzyzewski.
Let's say we knew what we were getting with Kyle and Nolan.
Let's say we hoped Kyrie would be this good.
Let's say we hoped Seth, Miles and Ryan would be about what they have been, which is very solid.
Which leads to what I can't get over...who knew we'd get this much from Mason and Andre this soon? Fantastic.
Great win. Kyrie is really a revelation. What fantastic defense.
