I'm rollin w' Nolan today. His personal 10-0 run gave us the margin we needed to hang on in the end. Ryan Kelly played a great game as well.

I am rollin with Nolan today. He took it to another level the first time we won the game today. Was surprised he missed the 2nd free throw, but I can live with that. Making the first one was huge.

Nolan, but he killed me with that last free throw. We have to play better than this.

Nolan saved us with that 10-0 run on his own.

In the tense last few minutes I too easily forgot Nolan's great stretch. So I gave my vote to KI, because what stayed with me amid all that tension was how this fabulous freshman hit 90% (+ ?) of his FTs and hit the game winner off the glass. He also had a key assist in the last few minutes, finding R Kelly with a bullet pass that was one of our few FGs in the last few minutes. Obviously, without Nolan working his magic, we don't win. But I'd also note that without a freshman guard with ice water in his veins, we don't win either.

Go Duke!

Kyle got us the lead, and kept us there. Nolan broke it open with his run. Kyrie stopped us from choking it away.

I fully agree, shipmate. I sometimes have the feeling that when we are opposed by a good, but decidedly underdog, team -- and that happens to Duke very frequently -- we play "not to make errors," rather than to win with more aggressiveness.
