First things first...

Will Ryan Kelly be full-sized or miniature-sized?

He will have 19 points and 9 rebounds.

[Henderson]

13 and 6.

He'll obviously start but play fewer than 25 minutes:

1. He was noticably limping on that foot in the latter stages of the Miami game.
2. His game will be more important next weekend and beyond.
3. He won't be needed against VPI so much, a team whose only real threat won't be his defensive assignment anyway.

Ryan and Zaf will come out before the first TV timeout. Neither will return. Ryan will have three points and two rebounds.

[Kedsy]

1. He was noticably limping on that foot in the latter stages of the Miami game.

Supposedly that limp was due to blisters. Hopefully the blisters will be healed by Tuesday.

12 and 4.

He'll play about 20 min and get a nice long breather in the 2nd half to put the final touches on his post-game speech.

[Troublemaker]

18 and 6

[Edouble]

24 and 8... the madness continues.

[BlueDevilBrowns]

I'll say 11 points, 5 boards, 2 assists, 1 block, and 1 steal in 23 minutes. Solid all-around game.

[devildeac]

14 points and 7 boards. Why? Because those numbers were still available and, when I listen to the game on 102.9 in Raleigh, I am always "ahead" of the video feed so I know what's going to happen next. Right loran?

[moonpie23]

here's hoping he DOES play at all and the limping wasn't a re-injury...

[timmy c]

11 and 4

[NashvilleDevil]

15 and 8

[Reilly]

9 points, 5 rebounds. A workman-like performance.

I think Kedsy was right. After I posted my concern, I read that RK was swarmed by reporters at his locker, and he said to one of the reporters that he developed a "little blister." He didn't seem at all concerned.

His performance may have given observers enough optimism to significantly boost our chances for a No. 1 seed in the NCAAT. A lot of chatter now that, with RK so VERY back, Duke is once again a legit title contender.

That's gossamer at this point, though. The team has a lot of basketball to play before the brackets are announced.

[jv001]

12 points..6 rebounds as Coach K only plays him 20 mins in a blow out win. GoDuke!

That was my number! So, hmm, I'll say 11 points and 6 rebounds.

[mgtr]

I don't think that 13 and 5 is taken, so I will take that combo. Realistically, I have no clue.

[Neals384]

0 and 0 in a cameo performance (less than 5 minutes to give him recovery time).

But I hope I'm wrong.
