MASON PLUMLEE RUMORS
Coach K and Mason Plumlee talk about Chris Collins to Northwestern, Michigan State
Duke’s Coach K and Mason Plumlee met with the media before the team departs for Indianapolis this afternoon for their Sweet 16 matchup against Michigan State and Tom Izzo. Obviously, a big topic of conversation was Coach Collins reportedly accepting the Northwestern position yesterday. Mason Plumlee said he found out from teammate Josh Hairston while Coach K refused to declare...
UNC Game Proves Duke Needs Plumlee
Mason Plumlee started this season as a serious national player of the years candidate but over the course of the last month he had fallen, at least in my opinion completely out of the running.
Mason Plumlee looked like the player of old against North Carolina and that is a good thing.
He was still lumped in there based on what he did earlier in the season; nearly averaging 20...
Preparation pays off for Plumlee
You may recall that I picked Florida State’s Michael Snaer to be this season’s ACC Player of the Year. When I get it wrong, I get it wrong. But the bulk of the ACC media picked NC State’s C.J. Leslie to win that award and that’s not going to happen, either. If post-season voting were to take place now, neither would make first-team All-ACC. Plumlee is averaging 18.2 points...
The latest updates on Ryan Kelly from his teammates and coaches
While there is basically radio silence coming from Duke on the nature of Ryan Kelly’s injury, his progress in recovering from it and a timetable for his return, there are bits of news coming out of interviews and media appearances by his teammates and coaches. Some of this is stretching it a bit, but with no actual news it’s all we have to go on.
Mason Plumlee used the word when...

Sample size throws Mason Plumlee under the bus
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...
Mason Plumlee thriving on all levels for Duke in senior season
Mason Plumlee’s emergence during his senior season places Duke as a Final Four favorite this season
By Chad Lykins – At the beginning of the 2012-13 college basketball season, the Duke Blue Devils were sitting just inside the top-10 in all polls. While prognosticators had confidence Duke would be a good team, their votes came with a number of question marks surrounding this year’s...
College Basketball 10 teams that could improve or falter in March
Teams that could falter come tournament time
Duke- They’ve been phenomenal so far this season and have already won three games against top five opponents, but I’ve noticed something very disturbing about this team- they have no bench. Their starting line-up displays the perfect blend of youth and experience and has proven they can beat anyone, but as the year goes on players...
The emergence of Mason Plumlee
One of the great pleasures of college basketball is getting to watch players develop throughout their careers. I love the talent of the one-and-done guys. I love the microcosm of a career taking place over a single November to March stretch. But gimme the four-year guys. Those are the most interesting. Had Mason Plumlee jumped to the NBA after his juninor season (or before) we...
