Mason Plumlee, Rasheed Sulaimon and Ryan Kelly combined for 53 points in Duke’s victory over Ohio State on Wednesday
By Wayne Bumpass – Monday the ACC announced that Duke’s senior PF Mason Plumlee shared the ACC Player of the Week award with Virginia Tech’s Erick Green, while freshmen SG Rasheed Sulaimon earned the conference Rookie of the Week award.
Both Plumlee and Sulaimon looked great in Duke’s wins last week and have been key contributors all season long for the Blue Devils.

By Josh Evans – After a brutal 7 game stretch in which #2 Duke played 3 top 5 teams, Duke needed a much needed rest. They needed a rest so bad that Curry sat out. Now granted, he was still recovering from an ankle injury, but if Duke really needed him, he probably could have played. Instead Duke sat him, and hoped for an easy win against Delaware, something that Duke has not achieved...
