Duke Basketball vs UConn: 66 - 56

This game just seemed like a blah game.  Not that UConn isn't a solid team.  It just seemed that neither team played up to their potential.  Or maybe both teams just played solid defense . . . I think both just played a blah game.  It seemed like a game that if either played like that during March Madness, they'd end up losing to a 12 seed.

Tyus Jones scored the team high of 21, but I think Jahlil Okafor had the highlight shots.  For example, during the first half he caught a pass from Tyus Jones, he posted up and within a second went up for a beautiful shot.  

As is always my concern with Duke, I looked at how the bench was used.  The team really only went 6 deep.  Marshall Plumlee, Matt Jones and Grayson Allen only played a total of 13 minutes.  For some reason, I just think that one should get more production out of Plumlee and Jones.  Since Allen is a freshman, I'll give him a pass.     

It is interesting how Duke took UConn center Amida Brimah out of the game.  Here's a guy who scored 40 against Coppin State and did nothing against Duke.  Of course, let's admit that against #7 Texas he only scored 4 points.  So perhaps he just needs another season to learn to play against better centers.
