Duke’s hot start downs the Wolfpack 98-85
By Josh Evans – Coming into Thursday night’s game, Duke Fans seemed to have mixed emotions about how the Blue Devils would play.

Amile Jefferson stepping into role in Ryan Kelly’s absence
By Wayne Bumpass – The Duke Blue Devils’ offense hasn’t looked the same since 6′ 11” senior flex forward Ryan Kelly re-aggravated a foot injury against Clemson that caused him to miss the ACC and NCAA tournaments last season. Not only has the Blue Devils had to adjust without the senior forward, but on offense the team has missed the spacing that is created by Kelly’s...
Growing Pains Still Evident for Duke Without Kelly
It was pretty evident from the first half in Duke’s victory over Georgia Tech that the Blue Devils still miss Ryan Kelly very much, but that’s life.
Duke is still trying to get a handle on things in the absence of Ryan Kelly.
There is nothing that Duke can do at this point with Kelly other than hope he gets better but they can’t just stay in a holding pattern as a team...

Big shoes to fill: Who steps up in Ryan Kelly’s absence?
The news that Ryan Kelly would be out indefinitely leads to a number of questions for the Blue Devils going forward until (if?) he can return. Whether he misses two weeks, four weeks or the rest of the season, Duke has a huge hole to fill not only on the court, but off it. So, who fills in at the power forward position, replacing Kelly’s 28 minutes a game?
This is not a simple...
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 came out and shot lights out from behind the three-point line to put Wake Forest out of contention early in the ACC opener for both teams and the Blue Devils won going away 80-62. It was, however, not a perfect performance.

Curry’s career high leads Duke over Santa Clara
By Josh Evans - Duke faced a major test as the #1 team in the country on Saturday afternoon. Duke had been on Christmas break, and it showed early in the energy that the Blue Devils were lacking.
