By Duke of Hoops – Another opponent, another victory for the Blue Devils. After dispensing of Wake Forest on Saturday, Duke moved to 14-0 to start the season for the sixth time under Coach Mike Krzyzewski. While the first eleven games Duke relied on Mason Plumlee to carry most of the load, Ryan Kelly and Seth Curry have stepped up in a big way over the last three as teams have begun to focus their defensive efforts on Plumlee. Still, the Blue Devils have their doubters as you can see in the fourth link down below. I’m guessing the writer of that commentary hasn’t watch the last few games. Duke has Clemson tomorrow night at home.
Wake Forest’s inability to stop Ryan Kelly leads to 80-62 loss to No. 1 Duke
At least Wake Forest only has to deal with Ryan Kelly one more time. Once again, the Demon Deacons had no answer for the Duke senior. They allowed him to score a season-high 22 points in the top-ranked Blue Devils’ 80-62 rout on Saturday. Wake Forest has given up at least 20 points...

The narrative goes like this: Duke center Mason Plumlee - who has been a historically bad free throw shooter in his career - suddenly flipped the switch as a senior and became efficient from the line. The reason was that he developed a new no-dribble routine at the line, which somehow allowed him to focus and make the freebies. Now, for whatever reason, he's no longer a good...

Duke's Kelly leaves game after re-injuring foot
DURHAM, NC --- Duke senior forward Ryan Kelly re-injured the same right foot on Tuesday night that kept him out of the ACC and NCAA Tournaments last spring.
Kelly, who scored 12 points in the first half of top-ranked Duke's 68-40 victory over Clemson at Cameron Indoor Stadium, didn't play in the second half, a decision made by Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski after learning his...
Duke's Kelly needs game-worthy nickname
DURHAM, N.C. -- What Ryan Kelly really needs is a nickname.
The Duke senior forward is one of those guys who if not for his 6-foot-10 frame and recognizable half-beard, he'd be able to slither in and out of situations in life as well as on the basketball court without much notice to the average eye.
Kelly isn't exactly dynamic with anything he does on the court, which...

By Josh Evans – Ryan Kelly scored a season high 22 points as Duke improved to 14-0 and 1-0 in conference play. Seriously, Kelly was on fire, and would have scored more if he had not of been in foul trouble for part of the game. Kelly has a knack for playing well against Wake Forest, and he did not disappoint history by having a subpar game. Quinn Cook also had an interesting stat...

Duke won the only game on Tuesday night, taking care of Clemson 68-40. Read the recap here. The big news from Duke's win was Ryan Kelly didn't play in the 2nd half due to a foot injury. It is the same foot that Kelly hurt last season and aggravated over Christmas break. In my opinion, Ryan Kelly is likely Duke's most important player on both ends. Kelly stretches...

Last season was a relatively disappointing one for the Duke Blue Devils. While they were good, they were not as good as we are used to expecting from Mike Krzyzewski’s teams. The Blue Devils failed to win 30 games for the first time in several years, still earned a two seed, but ended up losing in the first game of the NCAA tournament. The Duke offense was every bit as potent...

Duke's slow starts a dangerous trend
DURHAM, NC --- Duke's 68-40 victory over visiting Clemson on Tuesday night was anything but pretty.
