This was an intense game. Luckily, I watched it via DVR and was able to speed through it much faster than if I watched it live (finished it about an hour after the game actually finished). Watching it live would have just been too much stress.
My thoughts: Duke played a gritty game. Mason Plumlee needs to learn how to shoot free throws. This game wouldn't have been that close if he could shoot 70%. It was nice seeing Andre Dawkins getting some game time. He was in a shooting slump and turned that around to a degree. Also, his defense was good (minus the one play where he had his back turned to the ball and got beat rather badly on a play, but who doesn’t occasionally get caught short). Miles Plumlee had a great slam dunk. It is nice to see how Coach K rotated in his five guards throughout the game. It is noticeable how Kyrie Irving impacted the team last year, there doesn’t appear to be anyone on the team who can drive to the basket like he could.
