Charting Duke vs. Georgia Tech (II)

[Jumbo]

Well, talk about an easy storyline. Virtually all of Duke's scoring margin was built by one lineup combination -- the usual starters, with Mason Plumlee in place of his brother. And that will be one to track going forward -- if Mason can make the strides that I, other posters, Jay Bilas and probably even Coach K have hoped for and still expect to see, these likely will end up being Duke's five best players. That doesn't mean that they'll play the best as a group, but it will be interesting to track going forward.

Anyway, on to the numbers ...

It was tough for miles tonight in foul trouble most of the time, and then getting kicked in the face didn't help

mason had a very good game....a couple of bad decisions under the hoop though cost him a few more points

Will our new motion offense strategy (ok, not really new, but you know what i mean) be the focus of our offense from here on out? this was the most ive seen kyle use screens for open 3s all year.
