Go Duke!

Quit complaining, we won by 16.

[Mabdul Doobakus]

Glad we won. Can't delete this from the DVR fast enough. Bring on Sparty!

[superdave]

The Defense was exceptional. Great team D!

[pfrduke]

By the way, a lot of people said we couldn't survive bad games from Seth, Ryan and Mason. Well, Curry did ok, Ryan was awful on offense, and Mason was in foul trouble all night, and we won by 16. Nice work boys.

How many points below their average did we hold them tonight? I'll agree with pfr-great D!

[House G]

We won because we got all the calls.

[Utley]

How Sweet it is. Freshman! Suilamon best player on the floor.

[ChrisP]

Thank you to ALL our guys! True team effort. Too bad Kelly and Seth couldn't shoot better, but LOVED what Amile and Rasheed did. If we can play D like this in the future, we'll be very hard to beat.

[elvis14]

Sweet, very sweet!

[Troublemaker]

Great, ugly win.

We weathered the storm of horribly ticky-tack foul trouble.

Our defense dominated a very good offensive team.

Hope to see more of Amile this tournament.

Sheed was a stud.

[devildeac]

Huge win for the 2000th in Duke history!!

The 2nd half defense was some of the finest I have seen from Duke.

[luburch]

Beautiful team defense.

[TampaDukie]

Whew! Survive and advance. Refs made us work for it, though. Really proud of the freshman playing like seniors tonight.

[pfrduke]

Really, really fantastic defense. Our best of the season. Creighton never got comfortable on offense - they were out of sync for 40 minutes.

[miramar]

Certainly not the game anyone was expecting, but with all the foul trouble and Kelly's shooting problems, this was a huge team victory. Rasheed and Amile were outstanding, and Seth came through when we needed it.

[Durham Thunder]

Ugly, ugly game. Survive & Advance. Amile Jefferson is undoubtedly MOTM.

[FerryFor50]

Gutsy win. Despite the excessive whistle, Duke proved they can win the grind it out game against a physical team and without their shots falling.

Reminds me a lot of the Duke team we saw in early November, except we now have Amile developed a bit to help out in foul trouble.

McD scored 21, but 12 were from the line. Duke only allowed him to put up 4 three point attempts and most of those were contested. They left a few other guys WIDE open but luckily, Creighton couldn't shoot either.

This game really worried me. Now it's over and I get to worry about the next physical grind it out team... Mich St.

[dukeballboy88]

Great win for this team. Im excited we get Michigan st next that could be a classic. I hope Rasheed continues to be aggressive and Amile needs more burn. If it were me, Amile would get off the bench before Josh.
