Inside the boxscore: Duke 85, UNC 84
1. In Duke's last game, a home loss to Miami, Mason Plumlee played just 28 minutes (in an overtime game), and he sat out for long stretches of the 2nd half, including the final 4:14 because he couldn't do anything to stop Hurricane big man Reggie Johnson. Against UNC's smaller (lighter) bigs, that wasn't an issue. He played the 2nd most minutes this season and pulled...

Drugs Inc. was on Nat Geo and we were paying Matt The Screencapper to cover the game. From his post it seems he watched about 15 minutes into the first half and then stopped. He’s being dealt with. Anyway, Duke gets the win, 85-84. Yes, Dickie...

Rivers capped an incredible comeback, down 13 at one point and by 10 with 2 and...
