Charting Duke vs. North Carolina (Feb. 10)

[Jumbo]

First of all, it's a lot less interesting compiling plus/minus stats this year when three guys basically never come out of the game! In all seriousness, there's not a lot of mystery inside the info below. The group that was in the game late obviously benefited, particularly Dawkins, who got a nice boost to his per-40 stats. And Mason Plumlee clearly helped trigger the success of his groups, rather than hanging around for the ride. That's nice to see.

Oooh, an edit: Just noticed that the small lineup with Dawkins and Mason in together was Duke's worst lineup on the season entering the game, having been outscored 28-15. But that group outscored UNC 15-9. Nice.

Anyway, on to the numbers ...

Lineups
Scheyer-Smith-Singler-Mason-Miles 8-11 (-3)


With Thomas unavailable on Saturday, this is one of the possible starting line-ups. With a negative +/- against Carolina, perhaps we will see Mason and Zoubek (+6) or Miles and Dawkins (+4) start together instead of Miles and Mason.

Interestingly, that was the first time in five games that Mason and Miles were in the game together.
