This one looks like men vs. boys. You often see a Duke team exposed as frauds when facing a tough opponent in a hostile environment. Georgetown in 09, St. Johns and Zona last year, and this looks like the newest case.

If Rivers wasn't playing this one would be 50-15, no joke.

Sullinger has crazy good touch around the rim. He's also very short.

Duke...good job, good job

Yes, I thought the same things about Sullinger. Maybe he would be crafty enough to get AD in foul trouble. But while watching the first half, I couldn't help wondering into which row AD would send some of the shots he made against the Plumlees.
That was a very enjoyable first half.

Duke plays no D. When Duke is on offense just play up in the shooters faces, Rivers is the only guy on the whole team who can drive by you.

If u defend the three, duke is this bad. Remember, all their shooters are short and need open looks. No Nolan or singler out there

Sully would be an even greater college PF next to a player like Drummond. I'm not convinced he will ever be an NBA star. He is not a very good defensive player, hell Plumlee made him his b@#$ a few times.

Rivers doesn't seem to be as good an athlete as say Ray Allen but he is smooth with the ball and has a great handle for a two guard. He also throws up a ton of junk and misses a ton of layups.

Craft is one of those pesky defenders that really all players should be like. He is not a great offensive player and is a pretty poor creative PG, but he makes the right plays.

Ryan Kelley is being exposed by a player that can play defense.

The starting Plumlee has actually surprised me.

He's had that nasty face on since 9-0.

Same face as the press conference post semi final in 2004.

LOL at Plumlee trying to act tough with Sullinger.

BTW: Note to Calhoun, Lamb would destroy Duke with his floater.

*t that, why does this guy continue to get all the best games? He has literally become unlistenable. For whatever reason, people still find his act cute, even though it got old ten years ago. I'm not trying to be mean, the guy just isn't a good analyst.
btw its dookie v

once uconn starts pushing the ball...they are going to be so much fun to watch...our half court sets are never amazing...also our potential defense is scary...OSU plays with the idea knowing sullinger is going to be double teamed...they drive and dish really really well...we have got to learn how to swing the ball like them...we always just pass it back to bazz and expect him to create...in this game everyone is driving...

anyone feel duke won't schedule another true road game against a top tier team after this game?

Last time I watched Duke play, it was glorious (Arizona). But you're right - it is a rarity.

I'm not sure what's more exciting - the VS fashion show or watching Duke get walloped in prime time.

Dickie V did have some nice things to say about AD. Surprised to hear some decent words about UConn out of his mouth

I don't know, these days the VS Fashion Show is more about weird costumes than it is about girls in lingerie. How I long for the days when Karen Mulder would strut the catwalk in a g-string, but I guess those days are gone.
