Well, it seems as if someone cracked our software code and has inserted a virus. I guess once someone discovers that Paulus cannot play defense they take advantage of it. Whats really embarrassing is the fact that Coach K leaves him in to get torched by the points guards for two games in a row now.
-
Here a few observations from tonight.
-
1. Why did Paulus jack the three pointer up fading to his left late in the game. It amazes me that Duke doesn’t give up the ball to a the hot player in the game…in this case Scheyer. They ran plays for JJ back in the days. Damn, at least if someone is hot give him the ball. This is the one thing that sucks about college basketball. They usually don’t let the hot player keep shooting. Maybe its just Duke.
-
2. The comment of the night came from dumbass Billy Packer - “Jon Scheyer is not a good shooter”. Scheyer finished with a career high and drained three’s all night. Are you an idiot Billy Packer? Don’t answer that, I already know.
-
3. Singler didn’t step up. He played like the freshman he is.
-
4. I’m not looking forward to the rest of the season as our defensive rest on Paulus to stop the point guard.
-
5. Paging Gerald Henderson…..paging Gerald Henderson. Is this guy still playing for Duke? I thought he might leave Duke after three years. He showed me tonight he’s not even close to the level I thought he was at.

Can be contributed to the refs as well as their lack of a defensive stopper on Wake’s point guard. I find it a little out of the ordinary that the entire starting lineup for Duke fouled out. Yeah, thats not too odd……

Duke downed the Terps last night in what turned out to be closer than expected in the second half. Singler helped the Duke down the stretch and closed the game with 26 points. Duke came out cold in the second half as they drove to the hoop time and time again only to come up empty handed. Paulus also had an off night from three point range….well at least compared to his recent games. He was 4-8 from behind the arc and had 20 points.
Vasquez for the Terps tried his best to keep Maryland within striking distance with 25 points but eventually faded down the stretch.
The win propels Duke to 10-0 in the ACC and has the Mac Attack talking about going undefeated in the ACC. It will be interesting to see what happens in the near future and lets hope the Devils can keep their undefeated record in tact.
Next up, the Deacons of Wake Forest.

As the deadline looms (the 21st) everyone seems to have their own speculations about Redick. Here’s a take at the Orlando Sentinel.

Philip, one of our readers believes he’s staying, at least until next year. I have to agree judging from all of the comments spewed out by Otis and Van Gundy recently.

Rumor mill has it that the Suns have always had an eye on Duke’s JJ Redick from the time he entered the NBA with the Magic. Now Max Haggerty is speculating what would or could happen in Phoenix over the next few weeks.
Get G JJ Redick and picks for Suns $8 mil trade exception. Orlando is supposedly looking for another post player to improve their team for a playoff run. Redick hasn’t received consistent minutes since being drafted by the Magic and the Suns have been rumored to be interested in the former Duke sharpshooter as soon as he entered the NBA. He doesn’t exactly match the defensive qualifications that Kerr desires, but Phoenix is always looking for sharp shooters.

…we are adding quality folks into the NBA nowadays. Does the name Duhon ring a bell?
Duhon’s 34 sparks Bulls
Not bad considering he’s not supposed to score and just run the point.
