PLUMLEE with the offensive rebound dunk! And calmly gets back on D without freaking out!

[Furniture]

Very strange line up there for a moment.
TT, Josh, Marshall, cook and Rodney.

[FerryFor50]

A lot of complaining considering Duke is up 16 and outrebounding a larger team.

[duke09hms]

Marshall again with the offensive rebound to set up Quinn's 3!

MOAR PLUMLEE!

[SupaDave]

Plumlee playing BIG minutes and appears to have energized the entire team.

Thank God FSU sucks at free throws...

Dare I say it but is Marshall putting the world on notice?

Umm- think its time for Plumlee to take most of Hairstons minutes.

Eh if they hit em all, they'd only have 6 extra points. Still getting their butts kicked.

[Gthoma2a]

Marshall is killing it! Leading the break.

[duke09hms]

PLUMLEE AGAIN with the finish on the break!!! Sweet reverse layup!

Those are run-n-jump athletes those Plumlee boys!

Almost - they've missed the front ends of some one and ones as well. They could easily have kept it tight.

[ElSid]

We are Marshall! So proud of that kid.

[striker219]

Still find her better than Len Elmore.

Much in the same way that a cold is better than the flu.

Post of the day so far!

Favorite part of the 1st half was the smile on Marshall's face when he ran back up the court after scoring on the layup. He was deep in the paint on defense and beat everyone down court. I could not be happier for him.

Wasn't able to post the link before the game, but here is the link to the halftime stats for Duke/FSU...

[CLW]

The Platoon has made all the difference with the energy level of this team ESPECIALLY on the defensive end. Forcing 12 turnovers in the half on 8 steals. Marshall making a TON of plays on effort/energy out there as well to blow the game open with that late run.

Great comeback by the Devils from the early Burke-Ref blockade!!!! MP3 beautiful lay-up off a fine pass by Rasheed was the highlight for me.

[Furniture]

Lots of unplanned things went on in that half that 4 games ago might has meant a different result. This team is learning how to win! Dominance!

[CLW]

On Hood is he just prone to colds/sickness or does he get nerves before games this is at least twice now he has been announced starter and then couldn't go due to being ill

yeah...easily the most impressive defensive half of the year...they're a pretty good offense and we're absolutely quashing them right now
