Duke rode 45.8% shooting from beyond the arc and a double-double from Mason Plumlee to a 19-point win over a pesky Georgia State team that threw multiple different zone looks to disrupt the Blue Devils’ offense. Tyler Thornton played perhaps the best game of his Duke career, shooting 4-7 from the floor for 13 points.

November 09, 2012
By Chad Lykins – After voluntarily taking a redshirt for his freshman season, Marshall Plumlee enters the 2012-13 season as a much improved player than when he entered the Duke campus. After gaining valuable experience at the collegiate level practicing with his teammates on a consistent basis, he placed himself in line as the key center reserve. However, the wait to see that development...

No. 8 Duke 74, Georgia St. 55
Duke wasn't anywhere near its best in the season opener. What the eighth-ranked Blue Devils did have was Mason Plumlee, and that was enough to beat Georgia State.
Yet - despite the Panthers' coach's strong opinions - the Blue Devils know they'll need to do much more to win their upcoming battle of bluebloods.
Plumlee had 19 points and 14 rebounds to lead Duke to...

When Josh Hairston arrived on Duke’s campus in the summer of 2010, he was 6’7″ tall and weighed 210 pounds. Not ready physically to play the power forward position and not skilled enough offensively to usurp Kyle Singler at the small forward spot, Hairston played only 165 minutes the entire season. The highlight of his freshman season was by the St. Louis game, where Hairston...

Not often do you face a trap game in the first game of the season, but given how Duke played in their season opener against Georgia State it looked like the Blue Devils were in one.
Duke played a sloppy first half of basketball, even by first game standards but were able to bounce back in the second both offensively and defensively to take care of business winning 74-55. Still...

November 10, 2012
By Josh Evans – Well, it was not the predicted easy win. Actually, Duke was in a real dog fight for most of the first half before blowing the game open and getting up by double digits late in the first half. The game was much closer than it should have been, and if Duke plays this way Tuesday against Kentucky, the results will not be the same. There were a few positives, but many...

It may have been the Duke Football team’s bye week and the player may have the next two days off but it has been far from just a down week for the Blue Devils.
Several news items came out of the week, perhaps most notably were some rewards and recognition that was handed out to several of the players.
Freshman place kicker Ross Martin was honored with being named as one of 20...

Duke opened the season with a 19 point win over the Georgia State Bulldogs. It was good enough, smart enough and doggone it, people like it. The offense wasn’t perfect but looking a little deeper at the stats there are a couple areas where Duke excelled. 3-point shooting Duke bounced back from their 1-17 3 point shooting nightmare against Winston-Salem State to shoot 11-24 (45...
