[Les Grossman]

Quinn and Sheed are very impressive
handling those two senior guards of L'ville was no easy assignment

[subzero02]

We will definitely get some #1 votes... I want to see what kenpom looks like though

Well hopefully this Duke team isn't peaking too early but so far this team has exceeded expectations. Duke is a good team and hopefully K will turn them into a great team.

Gutty tournament win.

Played 3 solid games against solid opponents. Did the Kentucky Two-Step by taking out UK and L'ville in the same year.

One more big test against OSU this week. I like Duke's chances...

This team has chemistry and some real fortitude. Going to be a fun season!

Classic, gut-it-out Duke win. We didn't make any outside shots in the last ten minutes, but got some key baskets towards the end on layups and Quinn's short jumper. Free throw shooting -- Wow!

Congratulations to the team.

Tough to pick a MOTM tonight - different players at different points in the game were key.

This team has the potential to accomplish great things this year. The chemistry is good, and the seniors definitely are the leaders. Watching them settle the team down after bad calls made that clear. I am going to schedule all my band practices and performances around this team (which I try to anyway), but this year it is definite.

Was proud of the guys and their will to win. Go DUKE!!

Couldn't be happier with the team. Quinn, Mason and Rasheed all playing better than I expected. Any chance we can move the NCAA tourney up to November?

[Gthoma2a]

This is a team of men. There isn't a guy that we put out there that the game is too big for at this point. That is a HUGE statement this early in the season. If we beat OSU Wednesday, then we are beyond special. That would mean we are inhuman!

[RoyalBlue08]

A lot of character on this team. I love the confident look in the guys eyes down the stretch. I love how Quinn owned the opportunity to take that big shot. Low ceiling in that place for fireworks, no?

[HateCarolina]

I am ABSOLUTELY STOKED about this team's outlook for the rest of the year. We weren't hitting three's but still pulled out a strong win. Go Blue Devils!!!

[chaosmage]

Very classless for the other teams to not be there for the all-tournament selections.

[sagegrouse]

If the ESPN score sheet is right, Duke's scoring was 16-15-14-14-14, plus a 3 for TT.

I won't carp about anything because both teams must have been dead tired. But it didn't affect Duke's FT shooting, 23-27 - 85%.

Lullville won the battle of the boards but apparently had only 6 assists for 30 baskets. Duke was 13 assists for 24 FGs.

Quinn was MVP of the tournament.

Quinn is MVP

[FerryFor50]

Quinn Cook gets tourny MVP and Mason gets all tourny team!

Not sure how you can be the MVP and not make all tourny team, but I'll take it!

[devildeac]

And QC gets MVP!
