    It's the thought/intent that counts (whether you touch the rim or not). Thanks.

    Actually Urinal, you're new age. For years no one was allowed to hardly grab the rim on dunks. It's been greatly relaxed now...now you're fine as long as you don't swing on the rim for a while. When dunks first came back in, many dunks were with little or no rim contact. Griffin SLAM DUNKED it. Hand grabbing the rim is not part of the requirements.

    Only two dunks tonight against San Diego State: Zion 1, Justin 1.

    For once, the GoDuke box score and the NCAA.com box score agree. Which gives us either 27 (NCAA) or 21 (Duke) for the season (4 games), or most likely somewhere in between:

    Zion 12 or 9 (probably really 11);
    Marques 6 or 5 (probably 6);
    RJ 4 or 3 (probably 3);
    Javin 2 or 1 (probably 2);
    Cam 1;
    Jack 1;
    Justin 1:

    27 (NCAA) or 21 (Duke) [but the real number is probably 25].

    FWIW, last year's team had 26 dunks after four games.

    Once again, the GoDuke box score and the NCAA.com box score don't match. And once again I think the NCAA.com box score is more accurate.

    We had either five (GoDuke) or six (NCAA) dunks tonight against Auburn: RJ had 2 and Marques had 3 (GoDuke) or 4 (NCAA), but my recollection says 4.

    It's worth noting that we were outdunked tonight (for the first time this season), as Auburn threw down 8 dunks against us.

    So far, for the season:

    Zion 12 or 9 (probably really 11);
    Marques 10 or 8 (probably 10);
    RJ 6 or 5 (probably 5);
    Javin 2 or 1 (probably 2);
    Cam 1;
    Jack 1;
    Justin 1:

    33 (NCAA) or 26 (Duke) [but the real number is probably 31].

    This was Zion's first dunkless performance, allowing Marques to challenge him for the season lead.

    FWIW, last year's team had 35 dunks after five games. At this point last season, Marvin had 13 and Wendell had 6.

    The GoDuke and NCAA boxes matched this time. We had six dunks against Gonzaga: Marques 2, RJ 2, Zion 1, Javin 1.

    So far, for the season, in six games:

    Zion 13 or 10 (probably really 12);
    Marques 12 or 10 (probably 12);
    RJ 8 or 7 (probably 7);
    Javin 3 or 2 (probably 3);
    Cam 1;
    Jack 1;
    Justin 1:

    TOTAL: 39 (NCAA) or 32 (Duke) [but the real number is probably 37].

    So, going with the "probably really" numbers, Marques is tied with Zion for the team lead (both with 12), and who would have thought that possible?

    FWIW, last year's team had 40 dunks after six games. At this point last season, Marvin had 14 and Wendell had 8, so while nobody is ahead of Marvin's pace, Zion + Marques is ahead of Marvin + Wendell, 24 to 22.

    Makes you wonder if whatever lackey at Duke is keeping up with this...has some kind of agenda. Ridiculous to be off by that much.

    OK, this is getting silly: everyone saw our two 2nd half alley-oop dunks, but the official GoDuke box called both of them "jumpers." I'm not sure it's worth even tracking dunks from GoDuke anymore, though the NCAA.com box was also (I believe) wrong in at least one game this season. In any event, GoDuke says we had five dunks against Indiana (all by Zion), and NCAA.com says we had seven dunks (6 by Zion and 1 by RJ).

    So far, for the season, in seven games:

    Zion 19 or 15 (probably really 18);
    Marques 12 or 10 (probably 12);
    RJ 9 or 7 (probably 8);
    Javin 3 or 2 (probably 3);
    Cam 1;
    Jack 1;
    Justin 1:

    TOTAL: 46 (NCAA) or 37 (Duke) [but the real number is probably 44].

    FWIW, last year's team had 49 dunks after seven games. At this point last season, Marvin had 20 and Wendell had 10, meaning (using the "probably really" numbers) Zion + Marques are tied with Marvin + Wendell, both pairs with 30.

    would be nice if someone better connected than me could give some feedback to the official duke scorer to see if there's a reason for the discrepancy

    Well, I mean, RJ did "jump" to get this basket.

    Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

    Should we start a separate count for windmill dunks? We have at least three:

    -Zion v. SDSU
    -RJ v. Aurburn
    -Zion v. Indiana

    Crazy that we have this many highlight reel dunks already. Kids these days!

    This is becoming more and more of an issue. Tonight I tried to keep track while watching, and the announcers were accommodating in their zeal to count Duke's dunks. My count was 13, which matched the NCAA.com count. The GoDuke count? 10. At some point soon I'm going to just stop using the official GoDuke box score as a source for this thread.

    But I guess not yet. GoDuke says we had 10 dunks against Stetson (RJ 3; Zion 2; Javin 2; Marques, Cam, and Justin 1 each), and NCAA.com says we had 13 dunks (RJ 4; Zion 3; Javin 3; Marques, Cam, and Justin 1 each).

    So far, for the season, in eight games:

    Zion 22 or 17 (probably really 21);
    Marques 13 or 11 (probably 13);
    RJ 13 or 10 (probably 12);
    Javin 6 or 4 (probably 6);
    Cam 2;
    Justin 2;
    Jack 1;

    TOTAL: 59 (NCAA) or 47 (Duke) [but the real number is probably 57].

    FWIW, last year's team had 51 dunks after eight games. At this point last season, Marvin had 21 and Wendell had 10. Third place was Trevon Duval with 7. So using the "probably really" numbers, (a) Zion is tied with Marvin; (b) Zion + Marques are ahead of Marvin + Wendell, 34 to 31; and (c) Zion, Marques, and RJ are ahead of Marvin, Wendell, and Trevon, 46 to 38.

    Who would be the right person to email? the SID? I'll write up an email....not that they'll care...but It's stupid that Duke can't keep its own stats accurately.

    Yeah, probably the SID, or if you actually want a response, an assistant SID.
