Duke Takes Down The Terrapins 80 to 62

Klye Singler leads Duke in the win over Maryland, Singler had 22 points. Mason Plumlee had one of his best games with 12 points as he took rebounding honors with 11 rebounds. The Blue Devils did much better with their turnover problem, they only had 8 turnovers.

Maryland put up a good fight but Duke dominated the stats. Duke shot 52% to40% and they out rebounded Maryland 34 to 29. Maryland missed a lot of shots under the basket, some they really should have made, but they were shooting under Duke's pressure which had a lot to do with the misses.

Mason Plumlee had a good game, but I think it is time to bring up something he needs to improve on and that is free throws. If plumlee plays like he did tonight, and he needs to, he is going to get fouled and Duke is going to need those extra points, but so far Mason only makes about 40% of his free throws. So Mason spend a few extra minutes on the free throw line in practice.

It was a good game for Duke after the loss to St. Johns, so the mental part is fixed, now fix what needs fixing and let's win some more basketball games. Duke's next game is Sat, Feb 05, against N.C. State in Durham, N.C. at 6:00 p.m. Go Duke!!!!
