Duke took care of business in Cameron last night against Georgia Tech after a tough start. What the Duke coaching staff has done managing Seth Curry’s injury and inability to practice this year is pretty remarkable. Seth’s ability to play through obvious pain is even more impressive, as he was once again the Blue Devils’ leading scorer last night with 24 points on 6-7 three...

Mason Plumlee added 16 points and 13 rebounds after going just 2 for 12 during an awful first half, and the Blue Devils (16-1, 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) shot 53 percent from the field over the final 20 minutes to bounce back from their only loss.
