Duke Cooks Tigers Despite Ugly Performance

It was the ugliest 28 point victory perhaps in the history of Duke basketball. How ugly was it? Duke’s halftime lead was 25-10 and their best player, Mason Plumlee scored only 8 points on the night.

Duke Morning F.I.S.T. – Pray for Ryan Kelly’s foot edition

By Duke Of Hoops – Last night was a strange one in Cameron. From refs not knowing that a Clemson player was calling timeout when they were standing right next to each other, to a disjointed crowd that had spent all day getting Krzyzewskiville setup, to the score being 2-0 five minutes into the game, it was a weird night. Still, Duke held Clemson to just 10 points at halftime and...

Duke improves to 15-0 with win over Clemson but loses Ryan Kelly

By Josh Evans – Duke’s defense was superb, and it needed to be for Duke to beat Clemson, because their offense seemed to be a bit stagnant until they blew the game open in the second half. Maybe you could say Duke was looking ahead to their major road game against NC State on Saturday. Regardless, Duke won no matter if it seemed to be ugly or not. Duke’s defense held Clemson...

Duke downs Wake Forest 80-62 in ACC opener

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 Morning F.I.S.T. – January 8 Edition

By Duke Of Hoops – It’s that time of year again, where Duke plays a game every two or three days until the end of the season.
