Duke Basketball: Plumlee Leads Duke Over Maryland

Found January 26, 2012 on Sports-at-Work: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Quinn Cook,  Mason Plumlee,  Austin Rivers,  Andre Dawkins
TEAMS: Florida State Seminoles,  Duke Blue Devils

Maryland figured that if it could make Duke into a 2 point shooting team it could hang and have a chance to win at the end. The first half of the game the Terps played their strategy nearly perfectly. The Devils forced three after three, and the frustration spilled over into the offense which was stagnant. MD did a great job of shutting down Duke guards who were a little short handed with its only true distributing point guard, Quinn Cook, not making the trip to MD.

Mason also lead the team in rebounding with 12 and in a stat that shows who Duke missed point guard Quinn Cook, Plumlee also lead the team with 4 assists. Aiding Plumlee in the scoring column was Ryan Kelly who scored 14 on 5-7 shooting. MD...

Will There Be An Encore to Mason Plumlee's Monster Game?

Via SCACC Hoops  |  January 27, 2012
No one could reasonably deny that Mason Plumlee's performance against Maryland Wednesday night was perhaps the best game of his career. The Duke big man posted 23 points and 12 rebounds but also dished out four assists and had at least one blocked shot. Plumlee's career has been marked most notably by waiting. Waiting on his part and on the parts of the Blue Devil fans. ...

Maryland had all the ingredients to knock off Duke on Wednesday night; a rowdy crowd, a hall-of-fame coach returning, but they didn't have a Plumlee. And the result was a 74-61 win for the Blue Devils who improve to 17-3 (5-1 ACC) on the season and stay in first place in the conference. They are also 3-0 on the road in conference after going 0-2 on the road in non conference...

ACC Morning Linkfest 1/26

Running a little late this morning, so just some quick thoughts, links, and highlights this mornings... Mason Plumlee was really impressive last night, he dominated for 40 minutes in the post. If Duke's guards can play like they did at the beginning of the season and combine it with the way their big men played last night, Duke could make a run in March. It's...
