Every year Duke seems like they struggle the first time they play a really athletic team.

KU played us pretty tough wire to wire, I wouldn't be shocked if they're able to hold out but it's a lot easier to do it in a one game setting vs. multi-day tourney like this.

I really don't see how anyone can complain about a ref advantage in this game, but regardless of what is going on in a game, people will claim it just for the hell of it.

Just a bad first half for Duke. Withey has been shockingly competent, Robinson is very impressive, and Taylor is creating space for himself. I am very surprised KU is leading since they literally have 5 players. Fouls won't be an issue, but I expect they will feel fatigued at some point.

However, this is a very poor performance by Duke.

he can play now. thomas robinson is just fricking awesome. if he stops taking those dumb shots (i think i counted 2 in that half), then he's gonna be unstoppable (basically already is).

we are pretty awesome on defense

He looked bad when I was watching his other Maui games. The one thing I feared was that Taylor would drive by Curry/Thornton on most possessions and that has definitely happened.

work in progress. neither playing badly nor well is really a surprise from him anymore. he got a triple double in our opener and is basically a product of danny manning being the best big man coach ever.

I wonder if he could make a player out of Miles Plumlee. I say no, the guy is just hopeless.

Tyshawn Taylor is NOT that good of a player. Someone on Duke needs to step up and play better D on their guards. Dawkins and Curry have been invisible tonight

I'm impressed with Mason's assertiveness tonight. He's playing with a lot of confidence
