Charting Duke vs. Gonzaga

[Jumbo]

I completely forgot to post this, so better late than never! Anyway, a week later, a few things stand out. 1) Despite the sluggish beginning on offense, the starters played as well as they have in a while as a group. 2) Ryan Kelly received a lot of positive attention after the game, and deservedly so, but his +/- was just even on the day. 3) Lance Thomas' line was just ridiculous. 4) Thomas and Zoubek played particularly well together. In fact, the "experience lineup", as I like to call the three seniors and two juniors on the court when Duke goes with Scheyer-Smith-Singler-Thomas-Zoubek, did an excellent job. 5) In a weird note, five different players posted exactly one net positive point per minute, ending up at exactly +40. Odd.

Anyway, on to the numbers ...
