Duke vs. Miami: 81-71

An amazingly boring game, which was good. Yes, Duke fell behind a few times, but it never felt like they were in danger. Even when Nolan Smith got his second foul along with a poke in the eye, they kept on playing at a high level.

Seth Curry played a solid game, scoring 16 points off of 10 shots. The Plumlees continues to get their rebounds and also got their scoring going. Also, in my opinion, their interior defense looked solid -- though, of course, it could be driven by the fact that they were playing Miami. Andre Dawkins is getting playing time, but his shot just was dropping. Ryan Kelly had an efficient scoring game, making 4 of 5 shots in only 15 minutes.

The fact that Duke continued to play well in the first half with Nolan Smith on the bench is a really good sign.
