Duke Basketball vs Robert Morris: 85 - 56

This game had a little excitement in the 2nd half when Robert Morris made a run, but in general the outcome was never in doubt for this #1 vs #16 seed game.  Jahlil Okafor did a little showboating, which resulting in Coach K screaming bulls*it.   One can hope that Marshall Plumlee continues to play like he did during this game for the rest of the tournament.  Unfortunately, I think part of the reason he was about to get a double-double was driven by the fact that Robert Morris is a short team.  What was cool regarding Marshall Plumlee's play is that his teammates actually searched him out for passes.  So on the fortunately side, maybe there is a whole lot more faith in his ability to take it to the basket.  One has to love the fact that Quinn Cook and Tyus Jones didn't play long minutes.  Amile Jefferson showed that when given the opportunity, he can score.
