Duke No. 1 for the fifth week this year!

Duke is back on top of the brackets after one week in 3rd place.  With a little help from losses by no. 1 and no. 2 - Louisville and Indiana - and after a convincing win over ACC opponent Georgia Tech on Thursday night.   The next test comes this Wednesday night when they travel to Florida to play the University of Miami.  Miami has a good team and is currently in first place in the ACC.  Hoping the Dukies can change that with another good win on the road.  
 
Highlights from last week can be found with these links: 

Georgia Tech falls to no. 3 Duke - The local paper does not publish many articles after a Duke game, but this week a local team lost to the Blue Devils - the Georgia Tech's coach was quoted in the AJC -  “Those young guys got a little baptism under fire today, but I thought they responded pretty well,” Coach Gregory said.

Duke.edu posted the AP news story about the win titled "Curry, No. 3 Duke Top Georgia Tech". 
the article begins "No. 3 Duke figured the best way to win without Ryan Kelly was to play to its other strengths. That meant Seth Curry hitting from long range and Mason Plumlee converting from much closer."

Duke also posts a review of quotes made by the players and coaches after the game at this link.  Duke came out of the half time playing like they should be playing, just have to wonder what Coach K said to light their spark!  A unique thing happened in this game, just after the 2nd half began and the first time out was called by Ga Tech, Coach K ran out to greet Mason Plumlee and jumped into his arms. I have never seen Coach K get so excited but Mason was definitely a different player after their half time chat.  Read more at "The Hug Heard 'Round the World"
