It took Duke a little while to warm up, but they get the win against N.C. (Greensboro) 90 to63. The Spartans were able to keep the game close until the last few minutes of the first half when Duke got hot with the 3 point shot.
Mason Plumlee poured in 15 points to lead the Devils in scoring and took rebounds honors with 13. Austin Rivers had 14 points and Quinn cook had a nice showing off the bench with 14 points. The Blue Devils shot 53% while the Spartans could only manage 38%.
Duke had 18 turnovers and didn't shoot that well on the free throw line, but they haven't played in a while so they may have been a little rusty. They have the talent, but they didn't look like the number 7 team in the nation in the first half of this game. They did look better the second half, and they got the win, so can't beat them up too much.

Duke shuts down another good 3 point shooting team 86 to 80 , but Duke showed some weakness. The Blue Devils had control most of the game, but their free throw shooting gave Washington a chance to win this game, Duke shot 61% from the free throw line.
If Duke continues to shoot free throws like they did today they will have a hard time winning any close games. Rivers and Curry both fouled out of this game, it happened late in the game, but if that had happened a little earlier that would have had a big impact on this game.
Rivers led the scoring for Duke with 18 points, Ryan Kelly and Mason Plumlee each pulled down 9 rebounds. Andre Dawkin had a good game pouring in 17 points. Duke out rebounded the Huskies 39 to 32 which turned out to be one of the main reason Duke won this game, the other being blocked shots, Duke blocked 7 shots.
Duke moves to 9 and 1 while Washing goes to 4 and 4, but if Duke doesn't do some work in the free throw area in practice their win loss record is going to suffer. See who and when Duke plays next here: Duke Basketball Schedule
