First day of vacation for me so forgive me for this being short. Over the next couple weeks I'll likely skip a few days or give you quick posts.

You can see Duke's offensive and defensive efficiencies graphed by game here if you don't believe me.
The Duke Blue Devils won their ninth game after over coming a miserable stretch midway through the first half. Lead by the recurring star Jabari Parker with 23 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists. Quinn Cook played all 40 minutes added 14 points and 5 assists, but defensively was outstanding.
