re: Duke vs Florida State

Good passing and no turnovers, and Scheyer's shot is falling. However, they are allowing FSU too many transition baskets and the Plumlees look bad.

Scheyer is having a great game. Put him back in POTY talk.


Z with a charge? WTF?

Scheyer is turning the ball over quite a bit more during conference, but that's kind of nit picking now.

Worst half of the year so far, other than perhaps the NC State second half. Just miserable play. They are playing like idiots and are getting outrebounded like crazy.

Irving, Smith, Singler, Plumlees, Dawkins off bench as 6th man. Best 6 man team in country next season?

I doubt Dawkins will be considered the sixth man next year. All reports say Curry is the real deal in practice and they'll have Hairston coming off the bench (who is a guy who can score of the block).

Dawkins is one of the best pure shooters ive seen in a while, but he needs a lot of work on his game. Dre is goin to have to work extremely hard on his ball handling skills come this off season.

He literally can't do anything except stand in the corner and shoot threes at this point. Well, he can also run and get some nice dunks, but those are rare for players in college basketball if they can't dribble well.

Duke needs the Plumlees to step up. Right now, the upperclassmen have all reached their potential, except for maybe Singler. I think Duke needs the Plumlees to improve to get to the Final 4 and contend for a championship. I don't expect much out of Dawkins or Kelly this year.

ESPN had a video of Jay Williams interviewing Kyrie Irving. And Jay told Kyrie when he got to duke he looked at the retired jerseys and Jay said how he wanted his Jersey retired. Jay's dad wanted him to wear #22 but Jay asked Coach K if he could wear #1. K told him wear 22 because the school is #1. Kyrie will be allowed to wear #1 next year. Jay told him to be proud because K wouldnt even let him wear #1.

Shows u what kind of player we getting in Irving next year.

Redick was head and shoulders above Dawkins at the same age. He had much better court awareness and even if he couldn't necessarily take it to the hoop until his junior year, he certainly wasn't a worse ball handler than Mason Plumlee when he first came to Duke. Dawkins is at that level. He dribbles it off is foot if he is going towards the basket...every single time That's why he didn't play in the Clemson game.

1:00 Eastern time on Saturday. It will be on CBS.

If you see an extremely attractive guy in his mid-20s wearing a Christian Laettner jersey, that's me.

I hope there will be lots of disappointed ones around 3:15.
