I have been very critical of Bolden, but it's time for some credit where credit is due. He has rebounded well. He had a nice, strong post move for a bucket. He made a very good hedge on a guard at the top of the key and then SPRINTED back to the block for a box out.

Much better from the big man.

Wow we are exceptionally deep. Haven't seen K run this many guys since 2001 maybe.

I'm late to the party tonight, so glad to see our boys getting some kinks out and shooting well. Where are all the haters from saturday?
I said it on Saturday but this team is so much better with Allen. He energizes everyone around him.

Bolden does look like the player we seen in the exhibitions. I hope this a sign of great things to come for the whole team, definitely a great spark against an ACC opponent.

You can see Harry is starting to find his mojo. That's not good news for the rest of the country.

I, too, was a little surprised Grayson returned tonight. As someone mentioned earlier, I think part of it might have been K bringing him back instead of Capel. K doesn't really care what people think of him. No need to put that on Jeff's shoulders.

Just about everyone played very well tonight. I didn't see a 50+ point victory coming, though. You can see there's a lot of scary talent on this team that I don't feel the rest of the country can put on the court....but it's got to continue coming together. Tonight was a very good start.

Call me silly, but I truly believe this will be Giles' coming out party (kind of). By no means will he play at the potential that he has, but I think he'll have a double double. He grabbed 8 boards in 13 minutes last game and looked twice as comfortable as he did his first 2 games. Just got that feeling. Here's hoping....

You're silly!

Great game, it's always easy when the 3's fall. Plenty to work on but so great to see big positive strides. Rotation seemed smooth, of course easy to do when things are coming easy.

Karl and Bilas were BAD.

My wife and I were watching the game and she said Coach K is hurting bad. I asked if I looked like him last year before my back surgery. She said exactly. He was trying to straighten his left leg out just to try find a little relief. God speed Coach.

Capels finger prints were all over this game. The team played so hard it was a blast to watch.. nothing like a good 50 point win with great teaching opportunities for the 3 Frosh. Extremely confused how bolden can look that active tonight but look as inactive as he did Saturday?

Playing for a different Coach on the weekend. People just respond differently.;) it may not be right, but it will get Duke wins.

I don't see it. Grayson got 'em started, Harry is improving by leaps and bounds, and shots were falling. Duke got on a roll, and everyone was given a chance to contribute.
That was a Duke team playing hard for Coach K, and it's own pride.

I think K is getting to the point that I witnessed with Dean Smith. I remember vividly how many of the Heel fans were salivating with the thought of Dean leaving. A little bit of that 'grass is greener on the other side' syndrome.

Capel will get his chance starting next game, but this was K's.

Think you are wrong ,bolden is not soft,

Soft on D. Soft on put backs sometimes. I watched a ton of his hs games. He was slow up and down, kinda lazy. It's not that I don't think he'll get through that, I love the kid, he's an awesome individual.
