They did not, however practice late into the night/early morning as was reported (joked about) yesterday. With the Blue Devils’ recent struggles, Mason Plumlee has also begun to slip in Player of the Year voting, as chronicled below. Hopefully, tomorrow’s noon tilt with Maryland will be the start of a new win streak.

The anatomy of a blowout: a closer look at Duke’s loss at Miami
How did that happen? Duke rarely loses regular season games by more than 20 points—it’s actually only happened eight times while Mike Krzyzewski has been at the helm. On Wednesday, No. 1 Duke lost by 27 at No. 25 Miami, 90-63. There’s a link to the game story here, and I also shared a few other postgame thoughts here. As I said in the story, the reason for the loss was simple: Miami hit a lot of shots. Duke didn’t. On a basic level, ...

We can safely say that Duke was pretty mad after their 90-63 loss to Miami earlier this week. Coach K apparently kept the players up until 1:30 am practicing as punishment. They bounced back today though to beat Maryland by 20 points. Big man Mason Plumlee had 19 points, and none were better than this reverse put back dunk with three minutes to go in the game. Very well could...

While the ACC season is young, and Duke has played less than a quarter of its games, the Blue Devils are going through a huge transformation right now so its appropriate to point out any impressive number the players on the team are putting up right now. Duke suffered its first loss to NC State during this stretch, so I didn’t expect the numbers to be this good, but four Blue Devils...
