2. Less than 8 Duke turnovers.... 12 turnovers
3. At least 50% of our points in the paint... 17 of 33 made field goals were either layups or dunks, plus a hook-shot by Singler, means 36 of 86 points (41.8%)
4. 15+ minutes from Taylor King regardless of how he plays... one minute in the first half, two minutes at the end of the game
5. 10+ minutes from Zoubek (please note, Brian must "look like a basketball player" during these minutes for them to count)... 16 minutes, he looked pretty solid to me.
6. A double double from Kyle Singler... 15 points, 7 rebounds
7. Zero turnovers from Gregg (sic) Paulus... Just the one errant pass in the first half
8. At least 3 nice mid-range jumpers from Henderson... One, at 15:39 of the 2nd half
9. Fewer than 15 points from Singletary... 18 points, 6 in the last 8 minutes after Duke had pulled away.
10. No inappropriate cheers from the UVA fans... not that I heard.
11. 18+ minutes from Nolan Smith... Only 9 minutes and Scheyer ran the point for a few possessions.
12. 2+ points from David McClure... No points in five minutes.
13. 100% FT shooting from Demarcus Nelson... 2 for 5
14. No less than 8pts and 5 boards from Lance Thomas... 1 point, 1 rebound
15. 2 nice drives and at least 2 threes from Jon Scheyer, along with at least 50% shooting from the floor... Only had the two sweet rebound baskets, shot 3 of 5 from the floor.
16. Someone exhibiting substantial "toughness" (e.g. stitches, taking a hard foul, sticking up for teammates)... Does the foul on LT count?
17. At least a little zone to mix them up!... Substantial periods of zone in both halves!!
18. No stall-ball!... Slowed down the offense with ~7 minutes to go, but didn't "stall" (hold the ball near midcourt for 20+ seconds) until 4 minutes left and an 81-64 lead.
Close on a number of them, but gotta grade strictly: just 4 of 18 goals met. I guess that means this game was a terrible performance that might as well count as a loss...
