What could liven up the 84-64 beatdown No. 1 Duke put on Maryland on Saturday? How about a pair of dunk-of-the-year candidates?
Sophomore Alex Len gave the visiting Terrapins an early boost with a follow-through reverse jam five minutes into the game, but Blue Devils senior standout Mason Plumlee did Len one better 25 minutes later, turning Quinn Cook’s missed layup into a thunderous reverse slam of his own — though Plumlee did pick up a technical for some after-the-whistle antics.
Check out both dunks in the videos below.

How are you going to T Miles up here? Let the kid celebrate a ridiculous play for crying out loud. I looked around and there were some pretty sweet plays this weekend, but I have to give it to Miles. He gives the white man some hope. For those of you that care, Duke wiped out Maryland in this game 84-64.

After Duke’s blowout loss to Miami on Wednesday, they needed to make a statement in their follow-up game against Maryland on Saturday. How this Blue Devil team responded the first time back out after getting knocked on their ass would be indicative of how the rest of the season would proceed. It’s safe to say that the 20-point win Duke showed on Saturday afternoon bodes well...

Duke is still reeling from their blowout loss below, and have a lot of questions to answer moving forward with just 13 games remaining in the regular season. 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...

By Josh Evans - How would Duke respond after their beat down put to them by Miami this past Wednesday night? That was the question of the day, and boy did Duke respond! Duke responded in stellar fashion. Duke was able to beat the Maryland Terrapins who boasted a much taller front line than Duke 84-64. Right from the opening tip, Duke’s energy was high, and their intensity was...

Quite possibly the worst performance from a Duke basketball team since Coach K has taken over as coach. The first ten minutes were predicated on solid Duke defense and Duke just not being able to hit an open shot. Miami gets hot and Duke stays cold, the score is 29-15 Miami with five minutes left in the first half and Duke calls a timeout. These last five minutes of the first...
