Duke 93 - Clemson 80

Duke extended their win streak versus the Tigers tonight. My prediction of a blowout was fullfilled. Well, ok, maybe not a complete blowout but a “pull away” at the end may be more appropriate. Nelson came through and had a big night with 24 points.
Singler had another strong performance with 17 points and 3 goals came from behind the stripe. All in all the team looked pretty good through the entire game. Everyone was talking about the size disadvantage throughout the internet but Duke’s quickness prevailed. Thats something you haven’t heard alot in the past is their quickness. This year is different and its keeping teams guessing with the “inside out” game their playing.

On a side note, did anyone watch the Carolina game :)

Duke takes on Clemson - JJ Redick Suits Up for Portland

Well, first JJ.  Redick may see some playing time tonight. Thats just a guess because Portland is suppose to suck. Fact of the matter is, they don’t so who knows whats in store tonight for the Magic.  I’m not going to make this blog into a Magic blog, so I’ll leave it at that.

Duke on the other hand takes on Clemson tonight. This could be a tough matchup considering what happened in the Carolina game.  Funny thing is when Duke takes on a weak opponent and blows them out, Carolina haves a tough time. The same holds true in reverse.  If that is the case, Duke will man handle Clemson tonight. Lets hope it is.  I’m looking for big game from Henderson and Singler tonight.  Singler I am beginning to expect great games. Its probably all the hype thats surrounding him at this point.  Henderson has a silky smooth jumper and can jump 10 feet in the air.  He reminds me alot like Robert Brickey when he played. Very athletic and can flat out jump.

I remember attending Duke Basketball camp in the 6th grade and watching pickup games when we were on break.  It was simply amazing to watch him jump and dunk the ball the way he could.  Ok, ok, enough reminiscing, I’ll report back afer tonights game.
